Every part of race day runs here
Transponder timing, heat scheduling, registration, payouts, and live results, in one Windows app you install once and run all season.
Your whole race day, one screen
Transponder Timing
Lap-accurate transponder timing
Positions, lap times, and gaps update the instant each transponder crosses the loop. Built on a Rust core that keeps the clock running while you work.
Lap-Accurate Timing
Positions, lap times, and gaps update the instant each transponder crosses the loop. No rounding, no guessing.
Decoder Support
Connects to I-Lap, CANO/ZRound, EasyLAP, and LapMonitor decoders, plus RaceLyx LyxBridge gates, over USB, serial, or Bluetooth.
Auto-Reconnect
If the connection to your decoder drops, RaceLyx notices and reconnects on its own.
Rust Timing Core
The timing core runs on its own thread, so laps keep counting even when the app is busy drawing the screen.
Crash Recovery
SQLite WAL journaling and automatic state snapshots. After a power cut, the app resumes where the race stopped.
Lap Correction
Manual lap add/remove with full audit trail. Fix mistakes without restarting the race.

Stream Deck
Run the race from a Stream Deck
Keep your eyes on the track and your hands on physical keys. The free RaceLyx Stream Deck plugin turns your deck into a race-director panel, and the keys show live race state as you run the event.
Control the race
Arm the start or launch a race, throw green, yellow, and red flags, stop or reset the session. Penalize the leader, freeze scoring, or adjust the clock. Stop and reset are hold-to-confirm so a stray tap cannot hurt a live run.
Live info on the keys
Time remaining counts down right on a key and turns red in the final minute. Other keys show the running order, the leader and fastest lap, and laps remaining. The panel is also your timing readout.
Announcer and audio
Speak a custom callout like "five minutes to grid", announce the winner or the full podium, sound the horn, or mute the PA, all from one press.
Works with any Stream Deck. Pairs in seconds from RaceLyx Settings, and it is free for every RaceLyx user.
