TrackGlow: your RGB lights, racing live

01 Universal Live Timing

Every series.
One live timing.

No more hunting for a different, clunky timing page for every championship. TrackGlow reads the live timing of 40+ series and shows it all in one fast, clean window, then adds what the official pages don't have: race traces, lap charts, strategy and pit-stop predictions, worked out live by TrackGlow itself.

Race trace

See who's really fast.

Every lap of every car against the class average. Pit stops and safety-car periods are marked, so you can spot who is quick, who is fading and who is saving fuel.

Lap chart

The whole race at a glance.

Positions at the end of every lap from the starting grid. Click a name to follow one car through the stops, the overtakes and the full course yellows.

Strategy & pit-stop prediction

What if they pit now?

Click any driver for their race at a glance: cars ahead and behind, lap times and positions as charts, tyres and stints. TrackGlow also predicts where they would rejoin if they pitted right now, under green, VSC and safety car, and who they would come out behind.

One layout for every seriesFrom F1 to Formula DRIFT, with layouts made for each kind of racing: multiclass endurance, single-seaters, bikes and drift battles.
Sectors & speed trapsPurple and green sectors, best sector times and speed traps, wherever the series sends them.
Multiclass done rightFilter by class, gaps to the class leader, class bests and class positions.
Track & weatherTime left, leader lap, air and track temperature, humidity and wind.
Predicted championshipDrivers and teams as if the race ended now, when the series shares the data.
Synced to your streamPin the window on top and set your stream delay, so nothing is spoiled before you see it.

02 Lights

Lights out and away we go.

The other half of TrackGlow: your PC's RGB and smart lights play every flag and race event. Three steps, about two minutes, with a short first-run setup.

1
Pick your series

Choose from 40+ championships, from F1 and IMSA to BTCC, MotoGP and Formula DRIFT. Star your favourites and TrackGlow can switch to whichever one goes live.
2
TrackGlow reads the live timing

It follows the session on its own: practice, qualifying and race. Flags, safety cars, pit stops, fastest laps and more arrive the second they're announced.
3
Your lights react

Every LED you own plays the matching animation, timed to your stream delay so the lights change exactly when the flag appears on your screen.

Flags & race events

Every flag. Every moment.

Green, yellow, safety car, virtual safety car, red and the chequered flag, plus race events: race start, lead change, final lap, penalties, retirements, purple sectors, rain, pit stops and fastest laps.

Classic animations that are tuned for racing out of the box
Give any flag or event its own effect, colours and speed
Target areas: just the keyboard, the fans, the left side of your desk

06 FAQ

Questions from the pit wall.

Does TrackGlow work on Mac or Linux?

No, TrackGlow is a Windows app (Windows 10 and 11).

Do I need OpenRGB?

For your PC's RGB (keyboard, mouse, fans, RAM, strips and so on), yes. OpenRGB is free and TrackGlow can download and set it up for you. If you only use smart lights like WLED, Hue, Govee or Nanoleaf, you don't need it.

My lights flicker or ignore TrackGlow. What's wrong?

Your brand's own RGB software (iCUE, Armoury Crate, Mystic Light, Synapse, G HUB and similar) is probably fighting OpenRGB over the same lights. Close it while TrackGlow runs. TrackGlow tells you when it spots one of these programs.

Why don't my lights react during practice?

Some series only send flags during certain sessions, and some free timing feeds don't include every flag (for example local yellows). TrackGlow uses whatever each series makes public, and the Sources page shows what you get for each one.

Which series have Live Timing?

All of them. Live Timing uses the same timing data TrackGlow already reads for your lights, so it works for every supported series. How much detail you see (sectors, speed traps, weather, tyres) depends on what each series makes public.

Is Formula 1 free?

F2 and F3 work with their free live timing. Formula 1 needs an F1 TV subscription, read through the MultiViewer app or your F1 TV account. All other series use free public timing.

My lights change before I see the flag on TV.

Your stream is behind the live timing. Set the delay on the Live page, or press "I see it now" the moment a flag appears on screen and TrackGlow lines everything up.

How does Pro work?

Join the Pro tier on Patreon (3 € or $3 a month) and sign in with Patreon inside TrackGlow, or redeem a Pro key. Pro works on up to three PCs and checks in online about every two weeks.

Who makes TrackGlow?

TrackGlow is designed, built and maintained by BassGaming, a solo developer working on it in their free time. Every Pro membership on Patreon directly supports that work.

Was AI used to make this app?

Yes, absolutely. TrackGlow is an idea I carried around for years: one live timing for every series, and lights that react to every flag, full immersion. Nothing like it existed before. As a solo hobby developer with a full time job, the real choice was between building it with AI as a coding assistant or never building it at all. AI is what finally allowed me to turn the idea into a working app, and I'm glad it did.

A series stopped working. What happened?

Series and timing providers sometimes change their systems or stop sharing certain data, often without notice. Fixes usually arrive as an update within a short time. You can always report it at support@trackglow.net.

Is TrackGlow official?

No. TrackGlow is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with any racing series, team or timing provider.
