01·Drag Racing

Never break out
of your class.

DIFF time and a Predicted 1/4 mile run live, while you're still accelerating. Braking tests, video with live overlays and a run history that goes back years — built for bracket racers and class drivers who need to hit the number, not just chase a PR.

Run report

DIFF time + Predicted 1/4 milePro

Live diff against a reference run and a continuously-updated predicted ET, so you don't break out of your bracket / class.

Standard tests

0–60, 0–100, 60–100, custom speed pairs, 60 ft, 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile with 1-foot rollout option — every 0-start pair also in a no-rollout variant.

Braking tests

100–0 km/h, 60–0 mph or any deceleration pair you define. Braking distance and time, detected with the same precision as the launches.

Phone Mode — no device required

Your phone's GPS fused with its motion sensors, calibrated in a minute. Free on iPhone and Android. Phone runs are marked as such and stay off the leaderboard.

Record on camera with live overlays

Film the pull in-app: speed pairs pop up live while you record, and the export burns the telemetry overlay into the clip. Landscape or portrait.

Slope-corrected accuracy

Removes the gravity component along the run so up- and down-slope passes are comparable. Try the slope calculator →

Density altitude with WeatherKit

Real-time air density context next to every run, not a static lookup.

Compare RunsPro

Side-by-side comparison against your own runs or any run by ID — pick a baseline and read the differences row by row.

02·Power & Torque · Smart Garage

Real-world hp & torque,
from a single GPS run.

Type your car. We fill the rest — drivetrain, weight, gearing, frontal area — with an AI-assisted profile. Then RaceBuddy converts your GPS pass into hp and torque you can compare, share as a card, or revisit on rbuddy.io.

Power & Torque
i.

Type your car

Year, make, model, trim. The Smart Garage fills drivetrain, kerb weight, gearing and frontal area for you.

ii.

One run, full curvePro

A single clean acceleration run produces a power and torque estimate corrected for slope, density altitude and rolling resistance.

iii.

Multi-vehicle garage

Track every car you drive and tag mods so each result stays attached to the build it was made on.

iv.

Share the curve

Export the result as a social card with the real power and torque graph, peak figures and your car photo — post or story, one tap.

Smart Garage and AI vehicle profiles are free for everyone. Power & Torque measurement is included with RaceBuddy Pro and works with any GPS source, including Phone Mode. The calculator cross-checks the accelerometer against GPS and tells you if the mount was tilted. Best treated as a comparable measurement, not a dyno replacement.

03·Lap Timing

Compare your laps to the
world's fastest.

Telemetry comparison sector by sector — against your own best, or against public laps from the global leaderboard. Then let the AI Coach tell you, corner by corner, where the time is.

Auto circuit detection

Drive on, start the session — RaceBuddy recognises the track from a global database and snaps to its sector layout automatically.

Sector splits & ideal lap

Live delta and theoretical-best lap from your best sectors, with full session history.

AI CoachPro

Corner-by-corner analysis of your session: entry, apex and exit speeds against your best segments, braking points, time lost per corner and a written debrief with the one thing to work on next.

Compare LapsPro

Full telemetry comparison against your own laps and against laps from the global leaderboard. See exactly where you're losing time.

Custom track creationPro

Define your own start/finish and sector lines anywhere — sprints, hill climbs, autocross or any unlisted circuit. Stand at the line and the driving direction is learned automatically on your first pass. Every circuit has a details page with satellite map, lines, leaderboard and your own times.

Motorcycles & lean angle

Add your bike to the garage, get a lean-angle graph under every lap and a Classic Bike video layout. Recorded lean from RaceBox, or derived from GPS on any device.

Configurable lap graphs

Pick which graphs you see under a lap — speed, lean, G-force, altitude, time delta — set their heights and choose dot, car or auto map markers.

VBO & CSV import and export

Import VBO logs and RaceBox CSV sessions straight into your lap history — laps, sectors and leaderboard eligibility included. Export to VBOX Tools, MoTeC or your own pipeline.

Lap timer
04·Video Overlay

Drag & Lap, on video.
In your colours.

HD recording with synchronized telemetry overlays. Landscape and portrait, fully custom layouts, your branding burned in — or shipped as green-screen for post production. Drag and lap, on iPhone and Android.

Custom layouts + branding

Landscape & portrait

HD rear-camera recording with the default telemetry overlay — speed, G-force, altitude, time. Drag runs show speed pairs live while you film. Mount however you ride.

Picture-in-picturePro

Front and rear camera together in the same export — driver reaction next to the road. Front-camera recording is included with Pro.

Custom layouts + brandingPro

Pick what to show, drop in intro / outro graphics, and burn your team or channel logo into every export.

Green-screen exportPro

Transparent / keyable background so editors can drop the overlay onto any footage in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci or CapCut.

Classic Bike layout

A dedicated overlay for motorcycles with the lean-angle dial next to speed and G — on video and green-screen exports.

Social image exportPost & Story

One tap from a run
to Instagram or TikTok.

Every drag run, every lap and every Power & Torque result can be exported as a clean image card — square (1:1) for the feed or vertical (9:16) for stories. Your numbers, your colours, one tap.

06·FAQ

Common questions.

Which GPS devices does RaceBuddy support?
Your phone, with Phone Mode (free), plus RaceBuddy ONE, Dragy (Dragy 69, 70, Pro and Lite), RaceBox.cc, RaceBox Mini, RaceBox Mini S, RaceBox Micro, and RaceHF. External devices connect over Bluetooth — no adapters or cables.
Is RaceBuddy free?
The free tier is genuinely useful: full drag suite (0–60, 0–100, 60–100, braking tests, 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, custom speed pairs, slope correction, density altitude, video with live overlays), full lap timing with sectors, ideal lap, imports and configurable graphs, the AI Smart Garage for cars and bikes, global leaderboards, HD rear-camera recording with default overlays, Laptimer overlay export at 1080p landscape with the default layout, demo mode, and Phone Mode so you can start without any hardware. Pro adds the AI Coach, DIFF + Predicted 1/4 mile, Compare Runs, Power & Torque measurement, Compare Laps, custom track creation and publishing, picture-in-picture and front-camera video, custom branding, green-screen drag export, advanced Laptimer overlay exports (2K / 4K, portrait, custom layouts), premium support, and connection to Dragy, RaceBox, RaceBox.cc, RaceBox Mini / Mini S / Micro and RaceHF.
Does RaceBuddy work with the phone's built-in GPS?
Yes. Phone Mode fuses your phone's GPS with its motion sensors into a 10 Hz stream, after a one-minute calibration. It is free on iPhone and Android and good enough for real measurements and for Power & Torque. Runs recorded in Phone Mode are marked as such and are not eligible for the leaderboard, DIFF or the 60 ft test — for those, an external receiver is still the reference.
What is the AI Coach?
A Pro feature that analyses a whole session corner by corner: it detects the corners, compares your entry, apex and exit speeds and braking points against your best segments, ranks where you lose the most time and writes a short debrief with the one thing to practise next. The analysis runs on your phone; only a compact summary of numbers is sent for the written debrief. It is also available on rbuddy.io for your laps.
Does RaceBuddy support motorcycles?
Yes. Add your bike to the garage (Aprilia, Ducati, Yamaha, Kawasaki, BMW Motorrad, Honda, Suzuki, KTM, Triumph and more), and every lap gets a lean-angle graph — recorded by RaceBox, or derived from GPS on any device — plus a Classic Bike video overlay layout.
Is there an Android version?
Yes — RaceBuddy is available on Google Play with the same feature set as iOS, including Phone Mode, the AI Coach, video recording with overlays and motorcycle support.
Can I import telemetry files?
RaceBuddy imports VBO logs and RaceBox CSV track sessions directly as lap sessions, with laps and sectors detected on the track's lines — in the app and on rbuddy.io. Dragy Pro and Lite onboard recordings import too. For MoTeC, EMU, RCZ and RNZ files rendered as video overlays, use RB Overlay, our separate iOS companion app.
How accurate are the Power & Torque numbers?
Calculations use your vehicle profile (weight, drivetrain loss, gearing, frontal area) and correct for slope, density altitude and rolling resistance. The accelerometer is cross-checked against GPS, and a tilted mount is detected and reported. Treat the result as a comparable measurement, not a dyno replacement.
How does Earn Free Pro work?
Open Earn Free Pro in Settings and share your personal code or link. Your friend gets a welcome bonus when they claim it; you earn points when they sign up, record their first run and go Pro. Points redeem for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months of Pro.
Does my Pro subscription follow my account?
Yes. Pro is linked to your RaceBuddy account, so it survives a reinstall or a new phone. Your renewal date is shown on your profile.
What does slope correction do?
It detects the height delta along your run and removes the gravity component from your acceleration so up- and down-slope runs are comparable. There's also a standalone slope calculator at /tools/slope.
How do I get help?
Report a problem or suggest a feature from Features & Feedback in the app — logs are attached automatically and you can follow the ticket. Or email office@rbuddy.io. Pro subscribers get priority response.
