01
Their record is waiting for them
The system remembers their best lap from earlier visits: time, sectors and film. That’s the opponent. Not a stranger. Themselves, last Thursday.

What the track sells on a Thursday night
A track’s most expensive hours are the empty ones. A format is a programme for the dead slots, built entirely from parts already running at the track. Not one new box of hardware.
Format 01 · The ghost race
Their hardest opponent is themselves
02
The delta rides with them
Further down the line the gap to the ghost sits where the driver is already looking: the wheel display, running the whole lap. That hardware is in testing. The wall in reception already shows the duel to everyone waiting — the delta at the sector line and at the finish.
03
Winning raises the bar
A beaten record becomes the new ghost, and the film of the duel stays in the portal. The opponent improves as fast as they do. That’s exactly why they come back.
And if someone is here for the first time?
A first-timer has no personal best, so the ghost works differently: session one becomes the ghost for session two. First-timers nearly always improve, so the second session sells itself. They leave with a story about their own progress, not a beating from the track record.

Lap 18 against lap 17
The ghost is the guest’s own best lap. It drives exactly the way they drove it. Below is a real duel from our session: the 25.260 record against a previous best of 25.435. The first sector settled it.

The reception wall
works todayS1FINISHYOU––GHOST––
The wall shows the delta at the S1 line and at the finish. That’s all timing on its own can give you, and it works today. The continuous delta on the wheel needs the displays and the localization, both in testing, which is what the badge on that panel says. The way the dots move between the lines is an animation, and the track plan is a schematic, not a map of Sopot. What is true on this site →
What this format is made of
The audience version — the duel on the wall, with deltas at the timing lines — runs on hardware that’s at the track today. The driver’s version, with the delta running all the way round on the wheel, waits for the hardware in testing. We label it the way we label everything else here.
- Live timingAt the track
Knows their time at every timing line. The ghost and the wall delta both come from it.
- Steering wheel displaysIn testing
Where the ghost really belongs: the delta in front of the driver, the whole lap round.
- Live streamingAt the track
The audience’s cut: the wall in reception shows the duel to everyone waiting.
- Onboard camerasAt the track
Optional. The duel film gets the view from behind the wheel, not just the barrier angle.
- Kart localizationIn testing
Works out the position the running delta is built from. Ships with the displays.
Format 02 · Your Grand Prix
The group leaves with one trophy. It could leave with twelve films
01
A named grid
The reception screen will show heat line-ups and exact start times. That’s the end of standing about with nobody explaining why — the number one complaint from groups. The gantry will greet every heat by name.
02
An honest championship
Karts rotate between heats, and it counts towards the result. A championship decided by the kart lottery is the most common gripe in bad track reviews. Here rotation is a condition of the format, not an option.
03
A film for everyone
A podium ceremony on the wall, and then every entrant gets their own film of their heat, not just the winner. The organiser looks like a genius and your staff do nothing extra.
The cameras, the editing, the results and the gantry run at the track today. The event-mode automation — grid, rotation and certificates behind one switch — is what we’re building now. It sits on the roadmap as “Grand Prix mode for groups”, with no date, the way everything here does.
Format 03 · The Duel
Being 3–4 down is unbearable. That’s the point
01
A challenge on the wall
Two drivers call each other out. The wall will put them side by side, split-screen with a gap bar, and after the session the footage cuts itself into a duel film. Two karts, one story.
02
A record that stays
The result will go into both accounts as a permanent head-to-head. Not who won today, but what the score is between the two of them. The loser has exactly one way to change that: come back. The rematch books itself.
03
An open handicap
The measured pace difference between the two karts will be published as a handicap before the duel starts. A result decided by the kart lottery isn’t rivalry; it’s a grudge. Without published parity, this format doesn’t exist.
The cameras, the timing and the wall run today. The gap bar waits on localization (in testing); the permanent record waits on RaceBoard ID (a direction). The conditions sit under “Duel” on the roadmap.
Three ways to charge for it
You decide what it’s worth at your track, and the revenue from the formats is yours. These are three mechanics we’ve watched work in leisure venues, moved across to karting.
Ghost Thursdays
A fixed slot on the quietest evening of the week. Whoever turns up races their own record, and the monthly board shows who improved most.
Record attempt
Bolt it onto a normal session: one attempt, one ghost, the result on the wall. That’s how a single run turns into an event.
Comeback pass
Four visits a month. The ghost remembers all of them, so every visit picks up where the last one left off. The pass sells itself, because breaking a streak hurts.
Three formats to start with. The rest get written up here one at a time, with no dates and no promises we can’t keep. What we’re building now sits openly on the roadmap.
Three ways to start
You don’t have to decide anything yet
01
Come to Sopot
The system runs at Kart Center Sopot. The shortest way to answer “does this actually work” is to stand there while a session runs and talk to the staff who work with it all day.

We come and take a look
We walk your track: where the cameras would go, what the network looks like, what can be wired into your timing. You end up with a specific list, not a one-page offer.
