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, schedule, and notes in one place. Navigate to Track Days in the sidebar to see your next event up top, your season at a glance, and the full history of every day you've logged.
Auto-created from MSR registrations
When you register for an event on MotorsportReg, TrackOut automatically creates a matching track day pre-filled with the event's date, track, organizer, and description. Multi-day events (weekend HPDEs, schools, race weekends) are rolled up into a single track day with a date range. Year-long enrollments and season passes are skipped so they don't clutter your list. See Events & Calendar for more on the MotorsportReg integration.
If the MotorsportReg event or your registration is later cancelled, TrackOut removes the empty auto-created placeholder. If you have added sessions, notes, a schedule, setup details, or assigned a car, the track day is preserved so your work is not lost.
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.
Page layout
The Track Days page is built around your next event, with your fleet-wide history below it. Top to bottom you'll see:
- Header -- "Track Days." plus a stats line showing total days, sessions, and unique tracks.
- Next Track Day hero -- Countdown, weather snapshot, 7-day forecast, and quick actions. Hidden until you have an upcoming track day.
- Stats row -- Five tiles summarizing your season (track days, sessions, personal records, tracks visited, hours behind the wheel).
- Season ribbon -- A monthly bar chart for the current year, with arrows to flip through past years.
- Filters bar -- Date scope chips, search, and car/track pickers.
- History list -- Every track day you've logged, grouped by year.
The two action buttons in the top-right -- Import and Log track day -- are always available.
Next Track Day hero
Your nearest upcoming track day gets pride of place. The hero shows a giant countdown, the day's weather, a 7-day forecast leading up to the event, and one-tap actions for everything you typically do before a track day.
Countdown and event header
The left side of the hero is dominated by a large day-counter ("3 days away"). Next to it, the Next Track Day eyebrow sits above the track name, optional event name, and a registration status pill when the event came from MotorsportReg:
- Confirmed / Registered / Approved -- Green checkmark pill.
- Waitlisted / Pending -- Amber pill with the raw status.
- Event cancelled -- Red "Event cancelled" pill.
Below the title you'll see the day-of-the-week, the calendar date (or date range for multi-day events like "Mon · May 4 -- Tue May 5, 2026"), and the organizer name with a flag icon.
Weather snapshot
The right side of the hero shows a "Day-of" weather card with a sky icon, the forecast high/low, and the chance of rain when it's 30% or higher. If rain isn't a concern, you'll see a plain-language condition label like "Partly cloudy" instead.
7-day forecast
Below the header, the 7-day forecast strip shows up to seven daily tiles leading up to and including the event. Each tile shows the day label, condition icon, high/low, and precipitation chance. The event day is highlighted; "Today" is labeled when it falls inside the window. If a forecast hasn't loaded yet, you'll see "Forecast updating -- check back in a moment."
Hero actions
A footer below the forecast offers four quick actions:
- View track day -- Jumps straight to the detail page.
- Upload schedule -- Opens the AI schedule importer pre-targeted at this day.
- Pre-flight checklist -- Slides open a quick-view sheet with the event summary, checklist, and run schedule.
- MotorsportReg -- A small logo button that opens the original event listing in a new tab (shown only for MSR-linked events).
The right edge of the footer shows the date or, when a schedule has been uploaded, the gates time and first session time.
Stats row
A row of five tiles below the hero summarizes your full track-day history. Numbers update instantly as you log new days and sessions. Tiles cover total track days, year-to-date count, sessions logged, approximate laps and hours behind the wheel, and unique tracks visited (with state codes when available).
Season ribbon
The Season ribbon is a per-month bar chart showing how active you've been each month of the year. Use the chevron buttons next to the year label to step backward through past seasons. Months with track days show a filled bar sized to that month's count; empty months are dimmed.
Filters and history
Below the season ribbon, the filters bar narrows the history list:
- Scope chips -- All time (default), YTD, Last 30 days, or Custom with date pickers. The chip count next to each label updates with the current set of filters.
- Search -- Free-text match against the track name or car.
- Car -- Listbox of every car in your garage, plus All cars.
- Track -- Listbox of every track you've logged at, plus All tracks.
The history list below the filters groups every matching track day by year. Each row shows the date, track name, car, session count, best lap, and a weather chip. Click any row to open the track day detail page. Multi-day events appear as a single row with a date range and roll up sessions across all days.
If filters don't match anything, the list shows an empty state with a hint to clear them. If you don't have any track days at all, the page replaces the hero and history with a Ready to hit the track prompt and the same Log track day / Import schedule buttons from the header.
Pre-flight quick view
Click Pre-flight checklist in the hero to slide open a quick-view sheet without leaving the list page. The sheet has three sections:
- Event summary -- Track, date, organizer, registration status, and a link out to MotorsportReg when applicable.
- Pre-flight checklist -- A grouped checklist (car, gear, paddock) so you can tick off everything you need before loading the trailer.
- Schedule -- The day's run schedule extracted from an uploaded schedule PDF or image. Sessions matching your run group are highlighted with a YOU badge so you can see at a glance when you're on track.
If no schedule has been uploaded yet, the schedule section will read "No schedule uploaded yet." Tap Upload schedule in the hero to add one.
Adding a track day
Click the Log track day button in the top-right corner to create a new track day. The form asks for:
- Car -- Optional. Select which car you are taking to the track. You can leave this blank and assign a car later from the Events page.
- 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
Track days without a car
Track days created automatically from MotorsportReg registrations start without an assigned car. Assign one from the Events page using the car picker on the registered event row when you know what you are taking to the track.
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 (or Upload schedule in the hero or detail 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. Once a schedule is uploaded, it powers the run-time list in the pre-flight quick view and the timeline on the detail page.
Pro feature
Schedule import uses AI-powered OCR and requires a Pro or Factory subscription. Free-tier users will see an upgrade prompt and a PRO badge on the Import button.
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 is built around the day itself rather than a flat tab strip -- you'll see a header, an optional day-tabs strip for multi-day events, an at-a-glance stats band, and a two-column main area with your plan on the left and a context rail on the right.
Header
A back arrow at the top-left labeled Track Days returns you to the list. To the right are three actions:
- Crew Chief -- Opens the AI advisor focused on this day.
- Upload Schedule -- Opens the schedule importer for this day.
- More menu -- Edit Track Day and Delete Track Day.
The headline card below shows:
- Status pill -- Upcoming, Live · Day in progress (with a pulsing dot when today falls inside the event window), or Completed.
- Registration status pill -- Same green/amber/red treatment as the hero, when the day is linked to an MSR registration.
- MotorsportReg badge -- Logo + external-link icon, opens the original event listing.
- Track name and event name, optional event description, full date (or date range for multi-day events), organizer, run-group label, and venue address.
- Layout badge -- The specific configuration (e.g., "Full Course") with direction and length when known.
Day tabs (multi-day events only)
Multi-day events get a strip of tabs immediately below the header -- one per day, labeled with day-of-week and date. Today's tab gets a primary dot indicator. Switching tabs scopes the forecast, plan, log, and stats below to that day. Single-day events skip this strip entirely.
Stats band
A row of stat tiles summarizes the focused day:
| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Sessions | Completed sessions over total sessions logged |
| Best Lap | Fastest lap time, with delta to your previous best at this track when available |
| Total Laps | Sum of laps across all sessions |
| Weather | Condition icon, high/low, and rain chance |
Day plan and log
The left column is split into two stacked cards:
- Day plan -- A timeline that interleaves your sessions with gates, drivers' meetings, lunch, tech inspection, and other run groups. A My day view trims it to your runs and key events; All groups shows the full schedule; Sessions shows just your runs.
- Day log -- A feed of everything that's happened today: sessions logged, schedule events, and free-form day notes.
Context rail
The right column carries a Pre-flight checklist summary card showing your progress, plus a list of one-tap actions: add a session manually, import laps from a device, upload an event schedule, ask Crew Chief, and a few items marked "Coming soon" (service after this day, export day report).
Sessions
Each session shows up in the Day plan timeline with a colored indicator:
- Green -- Session is marked as completed
- Amber -- Session is still a draft
Open a session to see the full card, which 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 -- the date defaults to the track day's date so you don't have to change it every 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
Day notes
Free-form day notes (and the event description) live in the Day log card on the detail page. Anything you type there is preserved alongside session entries in the timeline view, so the day reads like a journal.
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 shows up in three places: the Day-of snapshot in the next-track-day hero, the weather chip on each row in the history list, and the stats band on the detail page. If your track day is linked to a track with GPS coordinates, you can also auto-fetch current weather conditions from the session log form.
Forecast on the detail page
Multi-day events get a dedicated forecast strip on the detail page that covers the full event window (one tile per day, with the focused day highlighted). Single-day events use the same 7-day strip you see in the hero. The strip header shows when the forecast was last updated.
Forecast requires a saved track
Forecasts only appear when the track day is linked to a saved track in the database (so TrackOut can look up the venue's GPS coordinates). If you only typed a track name without picking from the dropdown, edit the track day and pick the track to enable the forecast.
Shared forecasts at the same venue
When several drivers in your group are headed to the same venue on the same day, TrackOut reuses a single weather lookup across everyone -- so refreshes stay fast and forecasts stay consistent across your team.
Editing and deleting
Both actions live under the ⋯ more menu at the top-right of the detail page.
Editing a track day
Click Edit Track Day to update the track name, layout, date, description, or notes.
Deleting a track day
Click Delete Track Day 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.
