What is Raceday?

A collaboration app designed for motorsport teams. Starting out with a simracing focus, it lets people organize their race calendars, communicate in text and voice channels, add files and setups.

We have a setup manager that lets them build a library of configurations, complete with versioning, rollbacks and data import/export.

What is simracing?

Fair question. In our experience, you either love simracing or have never heard of it. It is simulated racing, meaning games that simulate motorsport competitions. It is challenging given the usage of laws of physics to recreate things like traction, weight transfer, deceleration and tire degradation, to name a few.

Simracers, like writers and engineers, are tinkerers by nature. There's exploration, data analysis and human collaboration, so it is the perfect combo for us to engage with.

Can't simracing also be AI-automated?

Sure, but who wants to watch that? and what is there to do if not driving virtual cars?

Humans can surely be assisted by software, but ultimately it is about the search that engineers get to do in finding the correct aerodynamic load or gear ratios for a driver to get the most out of the car.

What makes simracing exciting is the human fallibility element. If you want to go faster, you need to find creative new ways to unlock pace, which means you need to push boundaries and risk making mistakes. There's narrative in all of that, as well as a human element that is worth pursuing in the age of AI.

If this got you curious, check out Raceday.
