Motorsport telemetry live in stream – GPS, speed & G-forces
RaceTrace shows telemetry as an overlay directly in the live stream – GPS position, speed, and G-forces in real time, without an expensive telemetry box. Just your smartphone, team dashboard, €0.50/minute.
What is telemetry in motorsport?
Motorsport telemetry means capturing and displaying vehicle and driver data – for example speed, position, and acceleration. In racing practice these values help understand driving behavior and bring viewers closer to the action.
With RaceTrace the data comes from smartphone sensors: GPS for position, internal sensors for speed and G-forces/acceleration. No separate telemetry box needed.
What telemetry data does RaceTrace show live?
- GPS position – where you are on track
- Speed – current km/h in real time
- G-forces / acceleration – lateral and longitudinal forces from sensors
- Heading – direction of travel as part of the overlay
All values appear as a telemetry overlay directly in the video stream – not in a separate post-race analysis.
Live telemetry instead of post-race analysis
Many tools record telemetry and analyze it afterwards. RaceTrace is different: viewers see live telemetry in the stream – speed, GPS, and G-forces run in sync with the picture.
That makes RaceTrace an alternative for anyone who wants to share motorsport telemetry immediately, not just log it. The telemetry overlay uses smartphone sensors in motorsport – like wearable sensors without extra hardware.
Compared to recording-only apps like Harry's LapTimer, RaceTrace streams video and telemetry live at the same time. More about motorsport live streaming on our streaming page.
No extra hardware – just your smartphone
No expensive telemetry box, no separate GPS device: your smartphone sensors provide GPS, speed, and acceleration. A mount for the car is optional – nothing else.
Who is live telemetry for?
- Track day drivers who want family and friends live along
- Race teams and pit crew following strategy and driving behavior
- Coaches and training groups analyzing sessions together
- Kart racers who want to share races with a telemetry overlay
Frequently asked questions
What is telemetry in motorsport?
Motorsport telemetry is capturing and displaying vehicle and driver data such as speed, GPS, and G-forces. With RaceTrace this data comes from smartphone sensors.
What telemetry does RaceTrace show during the stream?
GPS position, speed, and G-forces/acceleration – live as an overlay directly in the video.
Do I need special sensors or a telemetry box?
No. Your smartphone sensors are enough; a car mount is optional.
How is this different from telemetry recording only?
Recording tools are analyzed afterwards. RaceTrace shows telemetry live in the stream so your team can follow immediately.
Is the telemetry private?
Yes, only people with access to your team account can see the stream and telemetry.
