Sim · Real · Every lap

Drive it properly.

Lap Theory turns every lap you drive, in the sim or on a real track, into a plan. See where the time went, chase the lap that's faster, and work with coaches who know the corner.

Free to start. Pro is £7.99 a month when you want more.

How it works

Drive. See it. Fix it.

One loop, whether it's a GT3 at Daytona on a Tuesday night or a Rotax at Whilton Mill on Saturday morning.

  1. 01

    Drive

    Laps land in Telemetry by themselves through the PC link. Upload a file from MyChron or AiM, or mount your phone and Record with the logger.

  2. 02

    See where the time went

    Every lap is filed Sim or Real → Track → Car, then broken down corner by corner, so you know it's the brake release into T1, not "be faster".

  3. 03

    Fix it

    Chase a ghost lap in Shadow, take a lesson, or book a coach who has driven that combo. Your week fills itself in around the time you actually have.

Features

Everything between you and a faster lap.

Telemetry · Lap Lab

Every lap, against the one that's faster.

Overlay your lap on a reference and scrub it corner by corner: speed, throttle, brake and gear, with the delta building where it builds. Sim and real laps sit side by side.

Shadow

Chase the ghost.

Drive one full lap against a ghost: a coach's reference, your own PB or a friend's. Each run costs one fuel, and your tank tops up to five every morning.

Coaching

A coach who's driven it.

Find coaches by sim, track and car. Book a live session, send a lap for review, or ask one question. Every coach shows their record and their reviews.

Race Control

Leagues, run properly.

Join a league or run your own: entries, a race night console, stewarding, standings, stream overlays and a Discord bot that posts the results.

The logger

Your phone is a data logger.

Mount it, drive a real session, and the laps land next to your sim laps: line and speed from GPS, G-forces from the phone itself. Anything it has to guess, it marks as a guess.

Chief AI

A crew chief that reads the data.

Chief looks at what your laps measured and drafts a plan for your week. It's labelled AI, and nothing lands on your calendar until you say yes.

For coaches

Get paid for laps you already know.

Set up shop on Lap Theory and coach from the same app you drive in. You keep driving. Your drivers' telemetry is already there when the session starts.

  • Your prices, your policy. Live sessions, lap reviews, questions and monthly plans, priced by you. Cancellation: Flexible, Standard or Strict.
  • A free intro if you want one. 15, 20 or 30 minutes, on or off.
  • Studio. Build courses, write track guides, record Shadows and sell setups.
  • Coach ID. Checks, payouts, juniors clearance and licences, shown as four dots drivers can trust.

Teams, academies & juniors

Built for the whole garage.

One account, several seats. Drive, coach, run an academy or look after a junior from the same login.

Org

Teams and academies

See every driver whoever coaches them. Assign and hand over drivers without losing a lap, teach one shared programme in the same order, and run race day from the pit wall.

  • Roles for owners, managers, head coaches, analysts, engineers and mechanics
  • Coach load and capacity at a glance
  • Squad pace with lap times and gaps only. Nobody opens a teammate's telemetry
Guardian

Safe for juniors

Young drivers race on a guardian's say-so. Spending caps, approvals and quiet hours are set by you, and only coaches cleared for juniors can work with them.

  • A monthly cap and a yearly limit you choose
  • No ads for juniors, ever. Fuel tops up free on a timer
  • Their Racing card is never public
Pricing

Free is a real way to use Lap Theory.

Pro takes the limits off Shadow and keeps your whole season hot. Coaching, setups and paid Shadows cost the same either way.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which sims does Lap Theory work with?

Drivers use it with iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, ACC, AMS2, rFactor 2, F1 25 and Gran Turismo 7, as well as real karts and track-day cars. Everything is filed Sim or Real → Track → Car, so a week across several combos still makes sense.

How do my laps get in?

Three ways. The PC link on your sim PC sends laps to Telemetry by themselves. You can upload a file (including MyChron and AiM). Or, on a real track, mount your phone and Record with the logger.

Do I need Pro?

No. Free covers telemetry, Shadow on a daily fuel tank, and 90 days of full-rate traces. Pro is for drivers who want unlimited Shadow, no ads and the whole season kept hot.

What is fuel?

Fuel is what a Shadow run costs: one fuel for one full lap. Your tank tops up to 5 at 06:00 local time, and you can earn more by finishing lessons or inviting friends. Fuel is never sold, and Pro removes it altogether.

How much does coaching cost?

Every coach sets their own prices and cancellation policy. Many offer a free intro. You'll see the price, the policy and their reviews before you book.

Can my child use it?

Yes, with a guardian. You approve what they buy, set their caps and quiet hours, and only coaches cleared for juniors can coach them. Juniors never see ads.

Your next PB is in the data.

Get Lap Theory on your phone, connect your sim, and drive.
