Problem
Motorsport participants and fans often rely on PDF timing sheets that are published after each race, requiring manual download, parsing, and compilation to extract lap, sector, and driver data. This process is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and limits the ability to quickly analyze performance or create shareable content.
Solution
PitWave automates the entire workflow by continuously monitoring timing providers, detecting new PDFs the moment they are released, and downloading them without user intervention. An AI‑enhanced, coordinate‑based parser extracts lap‑by‑lap and sector information with high accuracy, then fuses data from multiple documents per race to create a unified dataset. Within minutes, the platform generates interactive dashboards that display lap charts, sector analysis, season standings, and driver profiles. Users can instantly produce race cards, highlight reels, and other social‑media‑ready visuals, turning raw timing sheets into actionable insights and storytelling tools.
Target Audience
Primary customers are amateur and club racers, motorsport teams, and dedicated fans who need fast, accurate race analytics, as well as photographers seeking a platform to showcase and sell race‑day images.
