Computer vision for karting

See the line.
Find the time.

GPS-free kart positioning and race analysis, beginning with a working indoor prototype.

Working prototypeIndoor track positioning and 3D reconstruction

A lap time tells you what happened. Not where.

Indoor tracks are where many drivers learn, but satellite positioning is often unavailable or unreliable. A stopwatch records the result without explaining the lap.

Coaches cannot watch every kart through every corner. Drivers and parents are left to connect fragmented observations after the session.

Kimb'y is being developed to connect footage, position and track context in one reviewable record.

A positioning core built for indoor tracks.

Kimb'y combines onboard video with mapped track geometry to estimate a kart's position without GPS. The prototype reconstructs the driven trajectory and supports several views of the run.

Demonstrated

Position and reconstruct

Camera-based positioning on a mapped indoor track, with an interactive 3D trajectory and multiple viewing perspectives.

In development

Prepare for real pilots

A pilot-ready application, broader track coverage, repeatable processing and useful workflows for coaches and venues.

Research direction

Turn analysis into feedback

Confidence-gated coaching and live feedback are development goals. They are not currently presented as commercial features.

From footage to track context.

The development path follows the information a driver or coach needs, while keeping experimental coaching separate from proven positioning.

  1. Capture

    Record an onboard view of the session with a compatible camera setup.

  2. Position

    Relate visual features in the footage to mapped track geometry.

  3. Reconstruct

    Build the driven trajectory for review from track and driver perspectives.

  4. Coach

    Research safe, confidence-gated feedback with coach oversight.

Pilot partners

Start with one track.

We are preparing controlled pilot work with UK karting venues, coaches and drivers.

  • Map and validate a defined track
  • Run supervised test sessions
  • Measure positioning error and processing latency
  • Learn which outputs help coaches and drivers
Discuss a pilot

Help test what comes next.

Kimb'y Racing is looking for pilot venues, experienced coaches and partners who understand grassroots motorsport.
