SlipTrace is a sim racing portfolio platform — think of it as the Strava for sim racing. It lets you log every session, analyse your lap data, track personal bests, and share your fastest laps with the community.

It consists of a PC companion app (Windows) that captures telemetry in real time, a mobile app (Android) for reviewing sessions and connecting with other drivers, and a web platform for public profiles and session sharing.

Yes — SlipTrace is exactly that. Just as Strava logs every run and builds a profile you can analyse and share, SlipTrace captures every sim racing session from your PC companion, builds a lap history, and gives you a public driver profile.

The PC companion auto-captures sessions while you race; the mobile app is where you review pace, compare sessions, and share your fastest laps.

Install the SlipTrace PC companion on your Windows rig and create a free account. The companion runs in the system tray and automatically reads your ACC session while you drive — no manual export, no replay digging.

When your session ends, it syncs to SlipTrace. Open the mobile app and every lap, sector split, and personal best is already there, organised by track and date.

Telemetry apps (MoTeC, Simhub, Crew Chief) are engineering tools for in-depth data analysis: throttle traces, tyre temps, suspension travel. They're powerful but session-specific and PC-only.

SlipTrace is a portfolio and tracking layer that sits on top of your sim. It records lap times and session history, builds your public driver profile, and lets you track improvement over weeks and months — then share sessions with the community. It's not a replacement for telemetry; it's the layer that makes your session history searchable, social, and persistent.

Yes — SlipTrace is free during early access. All core features (session logging, lap analysis, profiles, sharing) are available at no cost.

We accept optional development support donations from drivers who want to help keep the project going, but there is no paywall and no premium tier for core features.

SlipTrace currently supports the following simulators via the PC companion:

• Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) — live
• iRacing — in testing
• Le Mans Ultimate — in testing

More simulators are in development. If your sim isn't listed, email us — community requests directly influence our roadmap.

Not yet. SlipTrace is currently Android-only. iOS is on the roadmap and will be released in a future update. Create an account to follow launch progress.

Pairing takes about 30 seconds:

• Open the SlipTrace mobile app and tap Pair Device in the home screen
• The app will show a QR code
• On your PC, open the SlipTrace companion and click Pair with phone
• The companion will scan or prompt you to enter the code shown on your phone

Once paired, the PC and phone stay linked until you unpair from settings. You don't need to re-pair after restarting either device.

QR pairing codes expire after 5 minutes for security. Simply tap Pair Device again on your mobile app to generate a fresh code. The new code is valid immediately.

Sessions upload automatically when a session ends and the PC has an internet connection. If a session is missing:

• Check that the PC companion is running and signed in
• Ensure your PC has internet access — the companion needs to reach Firebase to upload
• Sessions captured while offline are queued locally and upload automatically when connectivity is restored
• If a session still doesn't appear after reconnecting, try restarting the companion app

If the problem persists, email sliptrace.support@gmail.com with your companion version number and a brief description.

SlipTrace uses push notifications to let you know when:

• A session has been uploaded and is ready to review
• Another driver likes or comments on your session
• Someone follows your profile

Notifications are optional — the app works without them, but you'll miss real-time alerts. You can manage notification preferences from your device's app settings at any time.

Yes. Sessions are public by default so other drivers can see your laps. To make a session private:

• Open the session in the app
• Tap the visibility button (globe icon)
• Select Private

Private sessions are only visible to you when signed in. They won't appear on your public profile or in any feeds.

If you originally created your account using Google Sign-In, your account is linked to Google and does not have a separate password. To sign in, always use the Continue with Google button.

If you'd like to add email/password sign-in to your account, email sliptrace.support@gmail.com and we can help you link both methods.

You can request account deletion by emailing sliptrace.support@gmail.com with the subject line "Delete my account". Please send the request from the email address associated with your account.

All personal data is removed within 30 days of your request. Comments you've posted on other drivers' sessions are anonymised rather than deleted to preserve thread integrity.

Yes. Email sliptrace.support@gmail.com with the subject "Data export request" and we will provide a copy of your data in a portable format within 30 days.

In-app data export (CSV, JSON) is planned for a future release.
