No sign-ups before you race
You race, then you collect what happened. An account should exist once there’s something worth keeping in it. Not at the desk, not on a tablet, not before the start.
RaceBoard IDNext up
Your time, your record and the film of your best lap, under one identity built to remember you between visits at tracks running RaceBoard. Today that’s Kart Center Sopot. No sign-ups before you race: you race, then you collect.

Mock-up · no accounts yet
That number won’t vanish from the board when the track turns the lights off. With RaceBoard ID it’ll be waiting in your history until you come back for it.
Why
A time on a display that’s about to vanish. A record you can’t prove. A lap nobody filmed. We’re building RaceBoard ID so that the part that matters survives the session: your time, the gap to yourself and the film of your best lap. And so that you want another go at it.
You race, then you collect what happened. An account should exist once there’s something worth keeping in it. Not at the desk, not on a tablet, not before the start.
Today your personal best lasts about as long as the receipt. We want every lap to join one history, dated and timed, and your best lap to stay as a film.
A real session from Sopot: 25.435 on lap seventeen, 25.260 on lap eighteen, −0.175. The ghost you’re chasing is you, one lap ago. After a break, it’s you from your last visit. Tracks differ too much to compare across them, so we compare you with you, here.
How it will work
Just as you do today. Nothing to set up, nothing to pair before the start.
After the run you tap your kart number and get your time, your position and your best lap on film, off the track’s cameras. No account.
Come back to this track and your old laps should already be waiting. Then, and not before, we’ll offer to lock your history behind a single link. No password.
Where we are
We’re building RaceBoard ID now, as a page in your browser, not an app. Today the system in Sopot ties footage and times to a session and a kart number, not to a person. That’s why the driver portal runs as a demo of what should follow once you collect your laps. The step we’re on: a link to your own lap after the run. We don’t promise dates we can’t keep. We do promise not to launch anything we wouldn’t use ourselves.Ceremony · what ID will change at the venue
Check-in will tie your ID to your kart, and from that moment the venue talks to you by name. Not “welcome, customer”. The gantry above the track writes your name as you head out for your out lap.
Your name on the gantry as you roll out, a welcome on the wheel display, the grid on the wall with your exact start time. It costs nobody a second: the name goes up during the walk to the karts that happens anyway.
From your ID history the system works out a short, tightly defined list: a personal best, a 100th visit, a first lap under a threshold, a first duel won. Then it puts them on the gantry the moment they happen. There’s a cap per session, because a moment announced every five minutes stops being a moment.
Showing it is one decision at check-in and one tap to undo. Anyone who wants to drive anonymously drives anonymously. The ceremony is a privilege, not an obligation.
The ceremony builds on RaceBoard ID, so we write about it in the future tense. The entry is on the roadmap. The gantry, though, already writes whatever the track asks it to: type your name into the simulator →
Career · what ID will hold
A table of times can be swapped for another table of times. A documented career can’t: records with film, a rank earned over months, categories you hold yourself. That’s the layer ID is meant to build, visit by visit.
Every track record carries the film automatically, and it only counts on a kart whose parity has been measured and published. The regulars’ deepest grievance — that the table is rigged and the quick karts go to the staff’s mates — falls away. A record has footage and parity, or it isn’t a record.
A dozen curated categories: best second sector, best morning lap, best in the wet. Most drivers will never get near the outright record, but anyone can hold a category and defend it. A message saying you’ve lost S2 by 0.050 is a reason to come back on a Wednesday. The attendance crown is labelled as an attendance award and hangs nowhere near the pace tables.
A ladder of ranks earned over months, with thresholds set from real lap-time distributions. It isn’t for sale, and the top rungs only count on parity-checked karts. The gantry greets your rank as you roll out: the same greeting as the Ceremony, except earned.
Your Season
At the end of the year, ID puts the summary together: how many laps, how many hundredths came off, which categories you defended. And one piece of film nobody can make without cameras, timing and history at once: a position-synced split-screen where this year’s you drops last year’s you in the same corner.
The career builds on ID history, hence the future tense. The entry and its conditions are on the roadmap. Year-to-year comparisons get labelled honestly if the fleet changed in between.
Honest about the market
Other people already run driver rankings across tracks, and we say so plainly rather than pretend we invented it. The difference is what the identity carries. A ranking remembers what your time was. RaceBoard ID is meant to remember how you drove: the film from every visit, the view from behind the wheel, the trace of the run and your head-to-head record. A number in a table is easy to match. Lap eighteen from Sopot can’t be faked, because it exists as footage.
Where it runs today
Kart Center Sopot. The system runs in production there and records every session. That’s the only track today. Yours isn’t here? We want the next ones to be the tracks drivers ask for, one at a time.
