RTracer — Find Your Line

RTracer is a social platform for car enthusiasts where people discover, share and connect around cars, driving and automotive culture. Sim and reality are converging, and RTracer is where every driver builds a line worth keeping: one identity, one record, and a community that can see both.

What RTracer is

RTracer is a car enthusiast app and a car community app in one: a place to keep a record of what you drive, a garage of what you own and build, and a feed of the people and events around you. It is for cars the way a running app is for running — except the record covers a sim rig at home, an arcade cabinet and a real track day alike, all traced the same way and written to the same place, so it does not reset when you change car, game or country.

That record sits under a single identity called a RacerID, and it travels with you across a growing set of single-purpose mini-apps — one identity carrying a garage, a driving history and a portfolio, from the real car in your garage to the rig in your room.

Your drives, your garage, your record

Two things sit under every RacerID. The first is a driving log: RTracer works as a drive tracking app for the road and a lap record for the track, so a Sunday morning route, a track day session and a sim stint all land in the same history instead of three apps that do not talk to each other.

The second is a virtual garage — the cars you own, the cars you are building and the cars you have moved on. Keeping a car’s history in one place beats a folder of receipts: the parts, the work, the events it attended and the photographs of it, held as a record that stays with the car. Both are private by default, and public only where you choose.

Who RTracer is for

RTracer is built for people whose driving is not incidental to their life — an app for car lovers rather than for commuters. Sim racers who want a hot lap to count outside the game it was set in. Track day drivers and time-attack regulars building a season. Owners and builders documenting a car’s history rather than trusting it to a folder of receipts. Photographers and creators whose work happens at the trackside — the RTracer motorsport photography gallery is theirs. And the car clubs, teams and event organisers who run the meets everyone else turns up to.

What you do on RTracer

1. Claim your RacerID

   One identity for the whole of motorsport. It takes a few seconds, it is free, and it is yours everywhere RTracer runs.

2. Drive anything

   A sim rig at home, an arcade rig, a real session at a track day — every lap is timed and traced the same way.

3. Keep the record

   Sessions write to your Trace: laps, cars, moments. Private by default, and yours to share when you choose.

4. Get seen

   Your rank, your builds and your story, visible to the drivers, teams and organisers who take you further.

More than a rank

RTracer is a network, not just a leaderboard — the social half of the platform is where automotive culture actually lives. Your RacerID is one page that says who you are, carrying your record, your garage and your story. You post the process rather than only the results — projects, rig builds, race weekends, laps — follow the people pushing the same tenth, and connect with the clubs and drivers near you. Competition fuels it; careers come out of it, which is the part the RTracer story and the work we have traced so far both go into properly.

Car meets, track days and events

Events are where an online record meets the people in it. RTracer runs its own and carries other organisers’ — car meets, cars and coffee mornings, track days, drift and time-attack rounds — as real pages a person can find and share, so looking for car meets near you or a track day this season is one map rather than five group chats. Exponential, the RTracer event for STEM is the open, free sim-racing tournament, rig-building hackathon and speaker series RTracer runs itself.
