Getting started with RaceDash

Install the desktop app

RaceDash runs on macOS 13 and later, and Windows 11. Once your waitlist invite arrives, you'll get a link to download a signed installer for your platform. Drag RaceDash into Applications (macOS) or run the installer (Windows), then open it.

The first time you launch RaceDash it'll ask you to sign in with the account you used to join the waitlist. Sign in once and you're set — RaceDash remembers you.

Create a project

Every session you want to turn into video lives in a project. A project has:

• One or more segments — each segment is a timed run on track (practice, qualifying, a heat, a final).
• The drivers in that session.
• The footage — any video files you've recorded during the session.

Click New RaceDash Project on the Project Library, give it a name, and drop your footage in.

Connect your timing

RaceDash supports several ways to bring lap times in:

• Alpha Timing — paste the results URL from the timekeeper.
• SpeedHive / MyLaps — paste the event ID.
• Daytona — drop in the email export (.eml or .txt).
• TeamSport — drop in the email export (.eml).
• Manual — type your times in by hand.

Once RaceDash has your times, it automatically lines them up against your footage. You'll see a timeline with every lap marked and your fastest lap highlighted in accent blue.

Render your first video

1. Open the Render Assets tab in the editor.
2. Pick an overlay style — Banner, Geometric, Esports, Minimal or Modern.
3. Choose which laps to include. By default every lap is selected, but you can deselect individual laps or pick just your fastest.
4. Hit Render.

RaceDash will compose the video with your timing overlay baked in, and drop it in your Downloads folder when it's done.
