Track Days
Track Days is where you plan, log, and review everything that happens at the track. Each track day is a container for one or more sessions, capturing the date, track, weather, and notes in one place. Navigate to Track Days in the sidebar to see all your track days across every car in your garage.
Track days list
The main Track Days page shows a table of all your track days sorted by date (newest first). Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | The date of the track day (e.g., "Mar 15") |
| Track | The track or venue name |
| Car | Which car you drove (hidden on small screens) |
| Sessions | Number of sessions logged for that day |
| Best Lap | Your fastest lap time across all sessions |
| Weather | Weather conditions and temperature (hidden on small screens) |
Click any row to open the track day detail page.
Date display
Track day dates always display the calendar date you entered, regardless of your timezone. A track day logged as March 15 will show as March 15 everywhere.
Filtering and search
Use the controls above the table to narrow down your track days:
- Search -- Type a track name to filter the list instantly
- Car filter -- Select a specific car to see only its track days
- Track filter -- Select a specific track to see only days at that venue
Click Clear all filters to reset when no results match.
Fleet-wide stats
At the top of the page, summary stats show your total track days, total sessions, and number of unique tracks visited.
Adding a track day
Click the Add button in the top-right corner to create a new track day. The form asks for:
- Car -- Select which car you are taking to the track
- Date -- The date of the track day
- Track name -- The name of the track or venue
- Track layout -- The specific configuration (e.g., "Full Course", "East Loop")
- Description -- Optional event description
- Notes -- Any pre-event notes or reminders
Link to a saved track
If you have tracks saved in your database, you can link the track day to a specific track and layout. This enables automatic weather lookups using the track's GPS coordinates.
Importing a schedule
If your track day organizer provides a PDF or image of the daily schedule, you can import it using the AI-powered schedule importer.
- Click Import on the Track Days page
- Upload a PDF or image of the event schedule
- The AI extracts the track name, date, and individual run group sessions
- Select which run groups apply to you
- Review the extracted schedule and confirm
The importer creates a new track day pre-filled with the extracted data, including session times and run group information stored as schedule data.
Pro feature
Schedule import uses AI-powered OCR and requires a Pro or Factory subscription. Free-tier users will see an upgrade prompt.
If a track day already exists for the same date, you will be asked whether to update the existing track day with the schedule data or create a new one.
Track day detail page
Click any track day row to open its detail page. The detail page has a header, stats bar, and two tabs.
Header
The header shows:
- Track name and date (e.g., "Watkins Glen -- Saturday, March 15, 2025")
- Car badge -- Click to navigate to the car's detail page
- Layout badge -- Shows the track configuration if set
- Edit and Delete buttons
Stats bar
Four stat cards summarize the track day at a glance:
| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Best Lap | Fastest lap time across all sessions, displayed in timing format |
| Sessions | Total number of sessions logged |
| Total Laps | Sum of laps across all sessions |
| Condition | Weather description for the day |
Sessions tab
The Sessions tab lists each session as a card with a colored status indicator:
- Green bar -- Session is marked as completed
- Amber bar -- Session is still a draft
Each session card displays:
- Session number and status badge (Done or Draft)
- Description -- Optional session label
- Best lap time -- Prominently displayed on the right
- Lap count, weather, temperature, and track condition
- Notes -- Any session-specific notes shown in an indented block
Analyze your laps
Sessions with recorded laps show an Analyze button that links to the session analysis page. Use this to review lap-by-lap performance data.
Adding a session
Click Add Session to log a new session within the track day. The session log form captures:
Session details:
- Session number, date, and time
Weather and conditions:
- Weather condition (Sunny, Cloudy, Rain, etc.)
- Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and visibility
- Track condition (Dry, Damp, Wet, etc.)
- Auto-fetch current weather from the track's GPS location
Session results (shown when completing a session):
- Total laps driven
- Session duration
- Best lap time (accepts formats like "1:32.5", "92.5", or "1m32.5s")
Scan from device
The Scan from device button in the session form is an AI-assisted screenshot importer for lap-time screens. It does not connect directly to your timing hardware over USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi, and it does not read native telemetry logs from the session form.
Use it when you have a photo or screenshot of the lap summary screen from a timer, phone app, or data logger and want TrackOut to fill in the session results for you.
Currently supported devices and layouts include:
- AIM Solo and AIM Solo 2
- Garmin Catalyst
- RaceChrono
- Harry's LapTimer
- TrackAddict
- Racelogic VBOX
- MoTeC
- Similar timing screens with clearly readable lap data
Accepted file types:
- JPEG / JPG
- PNG
- WebP
- GIF
- HEIC / HEIF
What TrackOut tries to extract:
- Best lap time
- Lap count
- Session duration
- Individual laps when they are visible on the screen
- Device/source name
- Weather and condition details if they appear in the screenshot
Example workflow:
- Finish your session and open the lap summary on your device
- Take a screenshot or photo that clearly shows the lap times
- Open the track day in TrackOut and click Add Session
- Click Scan from device in the Lap Times section
- Upload the image and review the extracted data
- Correct anything the AI missed, then save the session
Use telemetry upload for raw files
If you have .xrk, .xrz, .vbo, or telemetry .csv files, use the telemetry upload/import flow instead. Those file-based imports are separate from Scan from device.
Tire data:
- Cold and hot tire pressures for all four corners (FL, FR, RL, RR)
- Tread depth measurements (inner, middle, outer) for each tire
- Pre-populated with your current mounted tire data
Pre-session checklist (for new sessions):
- Engine oil check
- Tire air pressure check
- Fuel level
- Wheel torque check
Session notes:
- Free-text area for observations, setup changes, and areas for improvement
Session workflow
Sessions support a draft workflow:
- Create as draft -- Log session details before you go on track
- Save as Draft -- Save partial data and come back later
- Complete session -- After your session, add results (laps, best time) and hot tire data
- Save Session -- Mark the session as complete
Notes tab
The Notes tab displays the track day's notes and event description. If no notes exist, you can add them by clicking Add Notes, which opens the edit dialog.
Weather tracking
Track days automatically store weather data when available:
- Temperature -- In degrees Fahrenheit
- Weather description -- e.g., "Partly Cloudy", "Clear"
- Humidity -- As a percentage
- Wind speed -- In miles per hour
Weather appears in the track day detail header as a summary bar with icons. If your track day is linked to a track with GPS coordinates, you can auto-fetch current weather conditions directly from the session log form.
Editing and deleting
Editing a track day
Click Edit on the detail page to update the track name, layout, date, description, or notes.
Deleting a track day
Click Delete to permanently remove a track day. This is a cascade delete -- all sessions, laps, tire data, GPS points, and tire junction records associated with the track day are also deleted.
Permanent deletion
Deleting a track day cannot be undone. All sessions and their associated data (laps, tire readings, GPS data) will be permanently removed.
Tire data and wear tracking
Each session can record detailed tire data through the session log form:
- Cold pressures -- Tire pressures before driving (all four corners)
- Hot pressures -- Tire pressures immediately after a session
- Tread depth -- Inner, middle, and outer measurements for each tire
When you complete a session, the form pre-populates tread depth fields with your tires' current measurements, so you only need to update values that changed.
This data is stored per-session, giving you a history of how your tires perform and wear over multiple sessions. See Tire Inventory for managing your tire collection.
Alignment and suspension linking
Track days and sessions can be linked to specific alignment and suspension setups from your car's setup records. This lets you track which setup you were running on a given day, making it easy to correlate lap times with setup changes over time.
