What sets RaceLyx apart
Offline-first, cloud-optional
Timing runs on your PC, so a dropped connection never stops a heat. Sync to the cloud whenever you have Wi-Fi.
Clear plans, no add-on modules
Plans differ by driver count and club tools. The overlays, announcer, and printouts come with every paid plan.
12 OBS overlays + auto-switching
Twelve overlay themes plus auto-scene switching, so one operator can time and stream at once.
Rust-powered performance
A native Rust timing engine runs every decoder on its own thread, so lap capture keeps up with a packed grid and busy transponders.
Revenue tools built in
Collect entry fees through Stripe, track expenses, and manage memberships from the same app that scores the races.
Active development
Fixes and features land through the year, not in a paid annual upgrade.
Try it against your current setup
Download RaceLyx free and run it on the decoder you already own.
