Is the LapsHub driver app still free?
Yes. Individual drivers download and use LapsHub free on iPhone and Android. LapsHub Live is the enterprise product for organizations. Hosted pit wall and Live API are two ways to use it on the same Streaming Protocol.
Is the hosted pit wall a different product from Live API?
No. Both are LapsHub Live. Hosted pit wall is the optional first-party UI. Live API is how you build your own screen on the same backend and protocol.
Do you ingest public LapsHub driver-app traffic?
No. Only cars an organization publishes are in the stream. Everyday driver-app laps and consumer Go Live stay in the driver product.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish list pricing. Pilot and design-partner pricing depends on event size, number of concurrent live streams, and whether you need the hosted UI or Live API. Contact us with your car count, telemetry source, and target date.
What happens to onboard video after a session?
Live onboard video is ephemeral while the car is on air, built for coaching and crew viewing in real time. Session onboard recordings stay on the publisher device for their own replay; cloud VOD is not part of the current v1 stack. Retention and export policies for org pilots are scoped during design partner onboarding.
Can we use our own data loggers or timing hardware?
Yes, as org-scoped ingest in the design partner program. Bring your telemetry source and target stack. We will map what is available today vs. on the roadmap. This is not a tap into public LapsHub driver-app sessions.
Can we put the event on YouTube or TV?
Yes as distribution you control. LapsHub Live gives you org-scoped telemetry and low-latency onboard. You decide how that feed reaches YouTube, TV trucks, overlays, or in-venue screens. We power the live backend; you own the audience path.
Is this the same as the public live-event map?
No. Org and integrator deployments are scoped to your event, roster, or customer base. Partner streams do not appear on the public live-event map by default. You control who is in the viewing group.
What is the design partner program?
We are working with a small set of teams, streamers, and integrators to validate LapsHub Live: org-scoped telemetry plus sub-2-second onboard video, as hosted pit wall or Live API. Contact us if you want to join a pilot.
How do integrators get Live API?
Email the waitlist from the contact buttons on this page (subject: LapsHub Live API waitlist), or start from the LapsHub Live page. Specs are not a public production URL yet. Keys are not issued.
