Vetkuro's First Public Test at Silesia Ring

by Paweł Sobociński |

Where It All Started

More than three years ago, an idea started taking shape in my head. Not an app. I've been racing for over a decade, and I know firsthand how much of a driver's improvement comes down to data. Knowing where you braked too early. Seeing exactly where your competitor gained those two tenths. Understanding the line, the inputs, the numbers behind the feeling.

The problem? Tools that gave you that level of insight were either brutally expensive, needlessly complex, or both. Professional-grade telemetry was gatekept behind a paywall that most amateur and semi-professional drivers couldn't justify.

That's what "Turn Data into Speed" means to me. Not a slogan - a mission. Build something that puts the same analytical power available to professional teams into the hands of any driver who loves racing and wants to get better.

The Build

I won't pretend the road here was short or easy.

The past months have been intense. The codebase grew enormously. Architecture decisions, hardware integration, mobile UX, a browser-based analysis platform - each piece had to work in harmony, and each piece had to be good enough to hand to a driver standing beside their car on a cold March morning and say: here, try this.

Our core belief from day one was a difficult balance to strike: simple enough for a first-time user, deep enough for a professional. An intuitive interface that doesn't hide the data. A mobile app that just works. An analysis platform in the browser that gives you the kind of insight you'd expect from a pit wall engineer.

That conviction shaped every decision we made.

The Test day

Competitors during the on-track briefing.

When we arrived at Silesia Ring, the nerves were real.

We had the opportunity to present Vetkuro to the entire field of drivers before the event began. More than a hundred people. Some veterans, some newcomers, all of them with sharp eyes and even sharper opinions about racing technology.

We showed them what the app could do: recording sessions using just a smartphone, an external GPS, or OBD sensors. Capturing video from the built-in camera or a GoPro. Then pulling it all into the mobile app for a first look - and into the browser for the real analysis.

Our current analysis on the web application allows you to check the route precisely and compare it with others. More is coming.

Side-by-side lap comparison. Throttle, brake, speed, steering overlaid on a track map. Finding the delta. Seeing the line.

And then something happened that still makes me genuinely proud: people downloaded it. Right there, on their phones, between sessions. And they came back to give feedback - positive feedback, the kind that felt earned rather than polite.

For a team that has poured months of work into this, that moment on the grid was everything.

From the building there is always a great view of almost the entire Silesia Ring track.

Vetkuro's mobile app is live on the App Store and Google Play. Today it can:

  • Record sessions using your phone, an external GPS receiver, or OBD sensors
  • Capture onboard video from your phone's camera or a GoPro
  • Deliver basic session analysis directly in the app
  • Provide in-depth analysis in the browser — lap delta, telemetry graphs, GPS track map, and precise line visualization

We put a lot of heart into the accuracy of the data and the quality of the browser analysis platform. We believe it shows.

A few screenshots from our application.

What's Coming

The roadmap is already in motion. Video overlay analysis is coming to the browser shortly, so alongside the map and telemetry graphs, you'll be able to watch your onboard footage synchronized to the exact moment you're analysing. After that: video export with overlay - render your session with data baked in, ready to share.And we're continuously expanding the list of compatible hardware devices - more sensors, more GPS receivers, more ways to capture data from whatever you have in your car.

A Thank You

If you were at Silesia Ring on March 21st, thank you. Your enthusiasm on that day meant more to the Vetkuro team than you probably know. If you haven't tried the app yet, I'd genuinely encourage you to download it, take it to your next track day, and let us know what you think. Every piece of feedback shapes what comes next.
