Remember your kart. Review it later.
Save a number at the track, confirm its session and explore the history behind it.
Save a number at the track
- Open the blue Quick Kart button.
- Choose Arrive & drive, or the session type you are driving: Practice, Qualifying, Heat, Race, Final or Endurance stint. For an event today, explicitly choose your private event plan. It stays visibly active across captures and reloads. Use Leave event when the event ends; Arrive & drive stays separate. Each session type is your explicit choice; the app does not guess a race sequence.
- Enter the kart number and save it. Wait for confirmation that the capture was saved to your account.
A capture remembers the number, selected session type and device-local time zone. There is no venue selector; a safely matched or confirmed result supplies its venue. New prestart captures are checked when you open or refresh the signed-in app. Narrow, unique matches carry your recorded session type and explicit event choice. Ambiguous evidence and existing imported kart decisions remain for review. The app must be open to perform this check; browser-closed matching is unavailable. A private event plan is applied only when its date and venue agree with that result. The choice expires at the end of its venue-local day. A changed, cancelled or rescheduled plan requires a fresh selection before another capture; saved captures keep their original choices. A planned visit does not establish that the event happened. It does not claim that a result has arrived or that a session has been matched. If confirmation is unavailable, the capture may or may not have reached your account. Keep the original attempt until you have checked your saved captures.
The small Quick Kart view shows up to three recent captures from today or yesterday. Open Karts → Review kart numbers for the full review.
Recover a save
If the number was saved but the account view could not refresh, the confirmed capture remains visible. Use Reload saved data; this reads your account without saving another capture.
If delivery could not be confirmed, Quick Kart keeps the original number, session type, optional event choice and capture time on this device for your account. Reload saved data and choose Retry original capture. Closing and reopening the dialog or reloading the page does not change that time. No retry runs automatically. Review saved captures before discarding an attempt or starting another one. If browser storage is unavailable, nothing is sent until the original attempt can be kept safely.
Retry protection uses the retained capture history: unmatched captures have a 14-day review window and the standard view shows up to 60 entries. The separately controlled durable-storage pilot retains its archive; that pilot is not enabled for every account. Very old attempts may need manual session review instead of retrying. A sign-in or permission error keeps the number recoverable; reconnect your account before another attempt. A save that succeeded before sign-in refresh failed is still a saved change—reload it without repeating the save.
Confirm the exact session
Review the suggested choices using the venue-local time and the session evidence. Confirm only the session you actually drove. If a confirmation is interrupted, its original session stays reserved; reload saved data and confirm that same session to finish. Choosing a different session is blocked until the original decision has been reviewed. Nearby times or matching numbers are clues, not proof; the app does not silently attach an ambiguous capture or replace a number already assigned to another choice.
Unmatched captures remain reviewable for 14 days. Previously matched captures stay available in their expandable history. If the session number saves before its type or capture history finishes, the message names what remains. Reload and confirm the original session to finish; do not create another capture. Conflicting recorded types or events require review instead of being overwritten.
Read your kart history
The main Karts view groups recorded use in its relevant venue and comparison context. Open the sessions behind a pattern. A rental number may be reused or moved; it is not a permanent identity for one physical kart.
Don’t remember leaves the session number blank and removes its reminder. Review skipped numbers only displays those saved unknowns; it does not restore the reminders. If a number comes back to you, open its session and add it.
A quick lap in kart 12 does not prove kart 12 caused it. Traffic, conditions, driving and missing context can all limit the comparison. Keep observations such as “felt slow” in notes rather than treating them as measured performance.

Practice in Demo
Quick Kart and missing-number edits save privately inside the fictional Nashville scenario. A capture uses the current time; it will not match an older fictional visit just because the kart number is similar. Use the session’s missing-number control when completing its fictional history. The new session-type capture selector is unavailable in Demo; number-only capture remains available.
Choose a kart-history layout
Karts offers Cards and List. Cards is the starting layout, and your choice saves to your account. Both show the same venue-scoped history. Filter repeated, all or single-use numbers and sort by uses, latest use or your fastest retained lap. Open a kart for its source sessions.
Usage counts include every bound session at the venue, independently of timing eligibility. Unknown numbers are separate; they cannot establish which kart was used. A personal fastest lap is an observed retained value, not a mechanical rating. Shared-date comparisons keep the existing recorded context rules and appear only when enough evidence exists.
The venue kart library starts on All and displays every observed number. Purple marks the fastest observed retained lap and red the slowest of the recorded kart bests within matching context; faster-than-median observations may be green. One use can supply an observation. These are your recorded results, not an intrinsic kart advantage.
Kart history highlights observed retained minima across practice, qualifying and race purposes within one recorded venue, layout, version and class context. Purple marks the fastest displayed minimum; matching displayed times are ties. The card background follows the same subtle color. Mixed or unresolved contexts keep their values but show no rank. All, Repeated and Used once filters never change the comparison pool. These observations do not establish an intrinsic kart advantage.
Earlier captures and existing events
Earlier captures keep their original purpose, time and recorded event choice, including a choice that was left blank. They are not retroactively treated as new prestart captures. Historical grouping needs a separate reviewed decision for the exact existing event; sharing a calendar day does not establish membership. A guarded existing-event choice preserves the original capture and result-ranking interpretation. Conflicting or incomplete evidence remains for review.

Quick Kart in the new notebook
In /driver, the floating Quick Kart control is available on desktop and phone. Your home K1 is selected first; change the venue when racing elsewhere so the capture uses the right local time. Enter the number and save while safely stopped. The current time is recorded automatically. Wait for the confirmed account-save message. This action needs a connection; the notebook does not claim an offline or simulated save.
Quick Kart shows up to three captures from today and yesterday. Choose Review captures & missing numbers in Karts for the full review, or open Karts → Review kart numbers. Unmatched captures remain available for 14 days; retained matched captures have their own expandable history. After a result arrives, choose the exact owned session and confirm it explicitly. Already-assigned sessions cannot be overwritten here. A browsing venue or nearby date alone does not establish a match. A capture is separate from a journal assignment until confirmed; incompatible, expired or conflicting evidence cannot become a successful match. You can correct a known session's kart directly in Sessions.
The sections below describe the existing web and native Quick Kart workflows in More tools, including their separate local-delivery and automatic-matching behavior.
Save and find a number
Open Karts in the desktop menu or More → Karts on a phone. Home also shows recent numbers for the current venue with Full kart history, Save kart number and Review saved captures. These actions use the existing Quick Kart sheet; saving a number never starts telemetry. The selected browsing venue does not assign an unmatched capture to a venue.
The floating Quick kart button is shown on a handheld browser with touch as its primary pointer and a screen at most 1024 pixels wide. It stays hidden on an ordinary mouse-based desktop browser. Native Driver OS capture is unchanged.
At the venue
- Choose Save kart number on Home or Karts, or open the handheld Quick Kart shortcut.
- Enter only the kart number you can see.
- Save it before the run or when you are safely parked afterward.
- Read the save status, then close the sheet when you are done. Saved on this device, cloud delivery and session matching are separate states. Offline delivery waits for a connection; an ambiguous match needs your review after results arrive. If the browser cannot retain the capture, the sheet reports that instead of claiming it was saved.
Never use a phone while driving. Quick Kart is designed for the moment before or after the run, not during it.
When the result arrives
Driver OS compares the saved kart-selection time with the venue race time. Where venue timezone evidence is available, the comparison uses absolute timestamps, including seconds, across timezone and midnight changes. Clearly supported matches attach automatically. If timing or order leaves a choice, the capture stays available for your review.
Matching rules
- A complete set of selections and races from one known visit can match in order when their times support it. Equal counts alone are not enough.
- With missing selections, only a clearly closest, noncompeting race can match automatically. The matcher leaves the missing race empty instead of shifting later kart numbers.
- A proposed match never overwrites a kart number entered directly on a race or a kart assignment you explicitly cleared.
- Ambiguous or competing captures stay unmatched. A conflicting venue kart number also needs review.
- Unmatched or test captures are removed on the first sync after 14 days.
- A confirmed kart number becomes part of the race journal.
The selection timestamp describes when you pressed Save Kart. It is not a lap-crossing timestamp. A venue result that supplies only minutes cannot establish second-exact alignment, even when the kart capture contains seconds.
What success looks like
The matched race shows the kart number in Sessions, so later comparisons can keep the machine context visible.
If no match appears
Open Quick Kart → Review unmatched kart captures after the results arrive. Each saved selection shows its capture time and nearby races, including the venue timezone and time precision. Choose the race you recognize and press Confirm race. Nothing is preselected. Reconnect first if you are offline.
The race records this as Driver-confirmed Quick Kart, preserving the original selection timestamp. Assigned or explicitly cleared races cannot be overwritten here; correct them directly in Sessions. If you forgot to save a selection at all, set the kart directly on the known race in Sessions.
The latest-capture card lasts four hours; unmatched captures remain available for review for 14 days. Native phone/Watch selections use the same time-and-order matching rules through their separate private delivery path. Matching retries when verified K1 results arrive and when the companion syncs. If a native selection still needs review, set the kart on the known race in Sessions; this web review does not recreate a missing native ledger entry.
A kart recovered from a verified Watch recording is labeled Verified Watch capture context. Its capture-start timestamp is distinct from the original selection time, which may be unavailable. Editing or clearing that kart in Sessions replaces the old attribution.
A saved number is missing from kart patterns
Open Karts → Saved kart recordings (the existing Progress → Karts by venue link still works) to inspect numbers retained with phone/Watch recording context. A unique eligible time match is labelled Recording time match; opening the page does not save a link. For other nearby recordings, Link to official timing → Confirm kart link retains the result you recognize. Existing conflicting kart decisions and links stay protected. A date alone does not establish a match.
Review recording matches and limitations
The separate phone/Watch selection inventory, where available, shows retained quick selections and their matching status. A selection still on a device is not visible in the cloud inventory until delivery completes. Missing from a pace chart does not by itself mean a kart number was lost. Only an actual timing-linked assignment contributes to that venue's pace comparisons.
Review the matched session Open troubleshooting
Is this a good or bad kart?
Open a number’s All recorded uses to inspect your result against each session’s recorded field, including the gap to the field’s fastest lap when supported. A complete anonymous field-rating snapshot may add context; it is not an expected finish or a calibrated field-strength score. Pace, consistency & comparisons retains exact-context personal comparisons and shared-date evidence. Missing or conflicting field evidence remains unavailable.
These observations help you decide what to investigate on a future visit. They cannot separate the kart from your driving, traffic, opponents, conditions or maintenance. A rental number may be reused or reassigned; it does not guarantee the same physical kart over time. Driver OS does not rank best or worst rental karts.
