Question 1

What is MotorsportSoftware?

Accepted Answer

MotorsportSoftware is a suite of desktop applications for motorsport engineers and racing teams. It includes Lap Analysis Launcher (offline driver comparison PDF generation from vehicle or VBOX data), Car Event Tracker (motorsport event, runsheet, and setup management with endurance fuel strategy and setup adjustment calculator), TirePressurePredictor (ML-based cold tire pressure calculation with grid bleed recommendations), and TimeTool (pit wall session countdown display). All tools run locally, with telemetry data, setup sheets, and calculations staying on your machine.

Question 2

What platforms and data inputs are supported?

Accepted Answer

Lap Analysis Launcher runs on Windows and macOS and works with vehicle or VBOX lap data to generate comparison PDFs locally. TirePressurePredictor supports WinTAX4, WinDarab, MoTeC, and Pi Toolbox telemetry via automatic format detection, plus manual entry through Excel spreadsheets. Car Event Tracker runs on Windows and includes built-in templates for Ferrari 296 GT3 Challenge, Generic GT3/Cup, and Generic Formula, with full customization for prototypes, touring cars, karts, and other categories. TimeTool runs on Windows and macOS for session countdowns and schedule displays.

Question 3

How does TirePressurePredictor calculate cold pressures?

Accepted Answer

TirePressurePredictor has two modes. For qualifying and short runs, an ML model learns track-specific pressure build-up from telemetry, then predicts per-corner cold starting pressures (FL/FR/RL/RR) with confidence intervals and formation lap thermal compensation. For endurance races, it analyzes stabilized pressures over extended stints with automatic pressure plateau detection and K-factor (thermal gain coefficient) auto-calculation. The Track Relations Matrix transfers pressure knowledge between circuits. It also provides grid bleed recommendations, GPS track visualization with corner markers, and an ideal gas law calculator for hot/cold conversions.

Question 4

What racing categories does Car Event Tracker support?

Accepted Answer

Car Event Tracker supports any racing category. It ships with built-in templates for Ferrari 296 GT3 Challenge, Generic GT3/Cup, and Generic Formula/Single Seater, but you can fully customize setup items for prototypes, touring cars, karts, or any other vehicle. Beyond setup sheets with butterfly layout and regulation limits, it offers centralized event management, runsheets with live session timer and sector times, endurance mode with fuel strategy and stint management, a setup adjustment calculator, and multi-car team JSON export/import. No cloud, no account — data transfers via USB or shared folder.

Question 5

Do the tools require an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

No. All MotorsportSoftware tools run locally. Lap Analysis Launcher generates reports on the user's machine. Car Event Tracker uses a local SQLite database with no server or account needed. TirePressurePredictor runs its ML models locally. TimeTool operates as a standalone display. Your telemetry data, setup sheets, tire pressure predictions, reports, and session schedules never leave your computer. Multi-car team data sharing happens via JSON files transferred by USB stick or shared folder — no internet required.
