Buyer's guide
The best apps to live stream your races in 2026
Plenty of apps will share your lap times. Far fewer will stream the actual drive — live video with synced telemetry your family and fans can watch from anywhere. Here are the apps that get closest to broadcasting your races, and the one that streams the whole thing.
We make Pace, so we ranked ourselves #1 — but the prices, pros, and cons below are honest, including where rivals win (Garmin’s in-ear coaching). Hit the head-to-heads for the receipts.
Our pick — the whole platform
Pace — telemetry, live streaming & analysis, free on your phone
Pace captures pro-grade telemetry and HD video from the phone you already own, syncs them frame-for-frame for replay, streams the session live so family and fans can follow from anywhere, and lets that audience become sponsors. A couple of apps here now add a feed or live timing; Pace goes furthest — live video, community, and sponsorship in one place — and it starts at $0.
Be one of the first on the track.
Telemetry, live streaming, and a front-row seat for everyone who follows you — free, on the phone you already own. Join the waitlist and invite friends to move up the grid.

LapTrophy
appA polished lap-timing app that broadcasts your lap times in real time, lets anyone follow tracks and drivers, and ranks leaderboards — with lean-angle analysis and telemetry, strong for motorcycles. The closest thing here to Pace's social side; it streams data, not the actual drive.
Best for: Riders who want live lap-time broadcasting and leaderboards.
Pros
- +Live lap-time broadcasting
- +Follow tracks & global leaderboards
- +Lean-angle & telemetry analysis
- +Strong for motorcycles
Cons
- −Broadcasts data, not live video
- −No sponsorship or monetization
- −Lighter capture than a full IMU + baro + video stack
Missing vs Pace: Live video streaming · Barometric elevation & slope · Setup ↔ performance tracking · Sponsor placement & payouts · Dual front + rear video · Video synced to data
Bottom line
Pace streams the race itself — live video with telemetry on the picture, so fans watch the drive, not a timing screen — captures deeper across video, motion, and elevation, and turns the audience into sponsors. LapTrophy streams lap times to a leaderboard. Racing builds a following; numbers alone don't.
TrackAddict
appA popular, capable phone app from HP Tuners — GPS lap timing, HD video with data overlay, G-force and OBD-II logging across road course, autocross, rally, drift, 4x4, and drag, with optional live telemetry streaming and export to the RaceRender desktop suite. Strong and flexible; the best overlays still happen on a computer, and it streams data, not the drive.
Best for: Tuners and track-day drivers who want OBD data + video overlays.
Pros
- +Free tier to start
- +HD video + data overlay
- +OBD-II data logging
- +Optional live telemetry streaming
Cons
- −Free tier capped: 3 saves, watermark, 3-min videos
- −Good overlays need paid RaceRender desktop ($40–$60)
- −Live streaming is data, not video
- −No social feed or sponsorship
Missing vs Pace: Live video streaming · Barometric elevation & slope · Setup ↔ performance tracking · Sponsor placement & payouts · Dual front + rear video · Family & fans can follow
Bottom line
Pace broadcasts real live video with telemetry on the picture, hosts the audience in the same app, and monetizes it through sponsorship — one app, no desktop, free to start. TrackAddict's best output requires a paid desktop program, and its 'live streaming' is data behind a Pro upgrade.
FASTLAP
appA motorsport social platform that analyzes telemetry you upload from a device already on your car — it captures nothing on its own. You get a community feed for posts, photos, and lap data, track-day events to browse and book, and a marketplace for trackside photographers. The most socially-minded option here; it's data and community, not live video or sponsorship.
Best for: Drivers with a telemetry device who want a community around the data.
Pros
- +Real community feed + track-day events
- +Photographer marketplace
- +Analyzes data from your existing devices
Cons
- −Captures nothing itself — needs another device
- −No live video broadcast
- −No sponsorship layer
Missing vs Pace: Live video streaming · Barometric elevation & slope · Setup ↔ performance tracking · Sponsor placement & payouts · Dual front + rear video · Video synced to data
Bottom line
Pace is the whole loop in one app: capture the session on the phone in your pocket, broadcast it live with telemetry on the picture, build the community around your channel, and open sponsorship on top — free to start. FASTLAP is a feed for data made somewhere else: it captures nothing, streams nothing, and premium runs $99 a year.
