Roadmap

What works, what’s in testing and what comes next

One road, four stages. No dates, no Q1s or Q2s. Instead of a deadline, every item carries the condition it has to meet before it moves on. A deadline we might miss. A condition you can check.

  1. At the track01

    In production at the Sopot track. Come and see it for yourself.

    • Track cameras

      Seven cameras record non-stop, around 293 GB of footage a day.

    • Onboard cameras

      The camera rides with the driver: the feed from the kart goes out live and lands in the post-session edit.

    • Live streaming

      A live view on the track network: the reception wall and the operator’s mosaic.

    • Live timing

      Lap times, positions and records in real time, the day’s archive, the race replay.

    • Driver portal

      After the session the driver finds their shots by kart number and orders the film. The good moments are cut out of the recording automatically, with nobody in the loop.

    • Start lights

      A start run by the controller: five lights, your own messages and sequences per event format.

    • Pit stop control

      A pit countdown or a total stop time: pick one per race format, wired into the race results.

  2. In testing02

    The hardware works and we’re checking it before it goes into production. This is past the bench.

    • Kart localization

      Every kart’s position on the track map in real time, from our own tracking modules.

      What has to happen

      Goes into production when the tests confirm the measurement holds up in track conditions.

    • Steering wheel displays

      A display on the wheel: lap time straight after the line, later on, the gap to the kart ahead and the delta to the ghost.

      What has to happen

      Lap time works off timing alone. The gap and a continuous delta need localization, so they ship with it.

    • Speed measurement

      Real-time speed and top speed worked out from onboard telemetry.

      What has to happen

      Ships with localization; without it there’s nothing to work the speed out from. Both or neither.

  3. Next03

    What we’re working on now. It isn’t on the track yet, and it isn’t on this site either.

    • The Director — automatic broadcast

      The system runs the wall broadcast on its own: it cuts to the camera where the fight is and labels karts with names worked out from localization. Nobody at the console.

      What has to happen

      The cautious version goes in ahead of everything else: a wide shot, the track map and results locked to the picture within half a second. Automatic camera selection arrives once localization is out of testing.

    • The brag card

      Before the group reaches the car park, everyone has a result card on their phone, a comparison with their mates and a vertical clip for their story.

      What has to happen

      Starts once the cards assemble themselves from live timing during the session. The clip is the only thing allowed to wait on rendering.

    • Grand Prix mode for groups

      One switch turns a group booking into a race weekend: a grid with names on it, a podium ceremony, a personal film for everyone taking part.

      What has to happen

      Needs kart rotation between heats counting towards the result. A championship settled by a kart lottery is a complaint, not a product. The format is described on the Formats page.

    • Collect your laps

      After the run the driver taps their kart number and gets their time, position and the film of their best lap. No account, no app.

      What has to happen

      Starts once the track data lives outside the track and a clip can be cut automatically within fifteen-odd minutes of the flag.

    • Public streaming

      Today the live view works on the track network. We want family and friends to watch the run from outside the venue.

      What has to happen

      Needs a domain and a certificate on the track’s side. That’s infrastructure work, not product work.

  4. Direction04

    Where this is heading. Written down so you know what you’re getting into, not promised for a date.

    • RaceBoard ID

      A driver’s identity: times, records and films that stay with them between visits, and show the delta to their own time.

      What has to happen

      Grows out of collecting laps: an account should follow from having something worth keeping, not sit as a barrier before you race.

    • Ceremony — the track knows your name

      Check-in ties the ID to the kart: the gantry writes the name on the way out, and a personal best or a 100th visit is announced the moment it happens.

      What has to happen

      Builds on RaceBoard ID and ships once the account has someone to greet. Names on the screens go up with the driver’s consent and nothing else, and announcements are capped per session.

    • Debrief — the automatic coach

      After the session the portal tells you exactly where the time went against your best, with the clip from that spot and one measurable goal for the next session.

      What has to happen

      Needs localization in production and ID history. It names a corner where the measurement is precise enough to justify it and nowhere else; below that threshold it falls back honestly to the sector.

    • Career — records, rank, season

      Records with the film pinned to them and kart parity out in the open, a dozen-odd categories to own, a ladder of ranks and a year-end summary with a you-versus-you split screen.

      What has to happen

      Builds on ID history. Before it starts: a published kart-parity index and a clip-retention policy. Without those, half of this would be an empty promise.

    • The Duel — a permanent head-to-head record

      A split screen on the wall, a duel film after the session and the result written into both accounts. Being 3–4 down books the rematch by itself.

      What has to happen

      The record needs RaceBoard ID; the gap bar needs localization. The honesty condition: the measured kart handicap shown plainly before the duel starts.

    • Premiere — the commentated film

      A commentary track over the session film: a voice openly labelled as AI says your name and describes nothing that wasn’t measured.

      What has to happen

      Every sentence provable from the measurement, and a dull lap gets silence. It becomes the default once a test shows that commentary gets more films shared, and not before. Flat commentary is worse than none.

    • Booking for tracks

      Session booking counted in heats, not hours, with the start line-up laid out for reception and the marshals.

      What has to happen

      Starts with whichever track has no booking system today and wants to run its calendar with us.

    • A second track

      A driver’s history starts to travel when a second venue exists, and not before. That’s also the point where we’re allowed to use the word “network”.

      What has to happen

      Begins when the track we’re on shows, in numbers, that drivers come back for their footage.

The statuses here are the same ones on the products page. Nothing gets promoted here before it’s promoted there. If something stops matching reality, we change the page, not reality. Get in touch if you’d like to see any of these stages at your own track.
