About

What is Podium?

Podium is a real-time telemetry, lap timing, and data analysis platform for motorsports, often described as Strava for racing. It streams data live from the car to the pits, coaches, and fans, accepts uploaded log files after the session, and works with any data system, including RaceCapture, PodiumConnect, AiM, MoTeC, VBOX, ECUMaster, and AEM.

Who Podium is for

Podium is built for people who race and the people who help them: road racers, endurance teams, track day drivers, autocrossers, drag and drift racers, offroad teams, and car enthusiasts who want to see what their car is doing. The driver drives. The crew, the coach, and the fans watch the data live from the pits or from anywhere in the world.

What you can do with Podium

Pit-wall telemetry. Your crew watches engine and chassis data as it happens: temperatures, pressures, position on track. Problems show up on the pit wall before they show up on the car.

Real-time coaching. A coach sees live speed, braking, and sector times and can spot where time is won or lost while the session is still running.

Predictive lap timing. Know mid-lap whether you are up or down on your best. Learn the faster line corner by corner, not session by session.

Analysis and sharing. Replay every session after the checkered flag. Compare laps, keep your work in analysis workspaces, and share results to prove a setup change actually worked.

Track leaderboards. Public fastest laps and track maps for every venue where Podium drivers have shared a lap. Browse them on the leaderboards page.

Team sharing. Give your crew read-only access to your live sessions and history so everyone works from the same data.

How data gets into Podium

Podium is deliberately open. It accepts data from Autosport Labs hardware and from the data systems you may already own.

  • RaceCapture/Track and RaceCapture/Pro are standalone data loggers with GPS, CAN bus, and motion sensing that stream straight to Podium.
  • PodiumConnect and PodiumConnect/Micro add live telemetry to an existing AiM, MoTeC, ECUMaster, VBOX, AEM, or Holley data system. PodiumConnect has built-in cellular; the Micro uses WiFi, a phone hotspot, or Starlink.
  • Log file upload. The Podium app uploads AiM, MoTeC, VBOX, and RaceCapture log files directly to your account (not yet available on iOS).
  • ECU telemetry. CAN presets bring in channels from Link, ECUMaster, Bosch MS3, MoTeC M1, Syvecs, ME442, MaxxECU, rusEFI, Holley, AEM Infinity, Emtron, Haltech, Megasquirt, and Hondata ECUs.
  • Compatible apps such as Petrel Data Circuit Storm on Android.

See the full list on the compatible devices and apps page.

Who makes Podium

Podium is made by Autosport Labs, the company behind the RaceCapture data acquisition systems, founded in 2008. Podium is run as its own platform: it is for any car, with any data system, not only Autosport Labs hardware. Questions go to support@podium.live.
