A new way to analyze and share your RaceChrono data on an open platform

Hi all,

I hope it's ok to post this here, but i think it's something that might be useful to this community.

I'm a developer and track day enthusiast and wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. My goal was to create a single, web-based platform where we can all bring our track day data together, no matter what lap timer or device we use.

The project is called Perfect Apex. A big part of making it useful is supporting the most popular timers, which is why I’m happy to let this community know that I've recently added support for RaceChrono.

This means you can now upload your RaceChrono files to Perfect Apex and get access to all the analysis tools. You can:

* Upload your RaceChrono sessions and store them alongside data from other popular timers.
* View advanced data visualizations like an events timeline showing braking and cornering, plus interactive charts, a GPS map, and speed traces.
* Visually compare your laps against yourself or each other to see exactly where you're gaining or losing time.
* Easily share and get feedback by sending a simple link to friends or coaches, who can comment directly on the session analysis.

I've also been experimenting with an "AI Insights" feature that tries to automatically find areas for improvement. It's still new, so I've set it up so that every new user can analyze their first two sessions completely for free. I would genuinely love to get feedback on whether the insights it provides are actually helpful for you.

My main goal here is to make something the community can use, with powerful core features that are free for everyone.

This is very much a work in progress, and the main reason I'm posting here is to get it in front of dedicated RaceChrono users. I'd be incredibly grateful if you could take a look, maybe upload an old session file, and let me know what you think. All feedback is welcome.

You can check it out here: https://www.perfect-apex.com/

For anyone interested in following the project's progress, I've also just created a new Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/perfect_apex/

Thanks for reading!

    I just get an error. "Failed to upload file: Invalid key: [uuid]/raw/[numbers]...filename..."

    Hi, I'd be happy to take a look for you. Could you please email me the file you are trying with at perfectapex.info@gmail.com

    Open platform?

    "Pricing Plans
    Choose the plan that fits your need to start analyzing your laps and getting faster."

    Do you have any actual demo on you website?
  • perfect_apexperfect_apex
    Hi, a lot of the analysis is freely available. Perhaps checkout some of the public sessions that have been uploaded so far: https://www.perfect-apex.com/discover

    Otherwise, here is one of my latest sessions: https://www.perfect-apex.com/session/e909c3c5-0aa3-47b2-83f0-f7933500110f

    Sounded great at first but then I see another subscription model pricing plan. That is where I check out. Charge a fair price and I’m all in but enough with the subscriptions.
  • perfect_apexperfect_apex
    @Adonis I appreciate the feedback and I totally get the subscription fatigue. I'm really trying to offer a generous free tier so the core tools are accessible without paying. However, unlike a standalone app, this is a hosted platform where I incur monthly server and storage costs to keep the data available and the system running.

    That said, I am open to ideas. I'd be happy to hear if you have suggestions for a pricing model that works better for you than a subscription.

    Suit yourself, you have to know your market and what will work. For my needs, I will use Circuit Tools 2 until someone else comes out with a better standalone app that is more feature rich. I don’t need another social media platform that data mines and charges me monthly costs.

    I just need a tool to more easily do my post track day analysis to help me improve as a driver. I don’t need a free version. I am happy to pay a one time price and use it until I am ready to pay for the next upgrade.

    Same model as Race Chrono. I paid for the Pro version and can just keep using it. If ever a new version comes out, Pro 2.0 or whatever, I am happy to support the dev and get the newer version.
