Club and state-level circuit racers
Setup Management for Club Racers
Club racers get a handful of sessions per weekend and a handful of weekends per year, so every lap counts and so does every lesson. Without an engineer the setup lives in the driver's head and a folder of sheets. Setup Genius gives a single-car racer the same discipline a professional team has: every setup recorded per session, tyres tracked by lap count, and an AI assistant to work through handling problems between rounds.
| Moment | What you do | What you get back |
|---|---|---|
| Week before | Open the last setup at this track | Baseline, pressures and what you wanted to try next |
| Practice | Record pressures, temps and changes per session | A searchable history instead of a scrawl |
| Between sessions | Ask Apex about a handling problem | Specific changes to try, with reasons |
| Qualifying and race | Log the setup and lap times | Linked lap time and setup for the next visit |
| Monday | Add debrief notes and tyre lap counts | Tyre bank up to date for the next event |
The problem club racers have
Memory. Six months between visits to a circuit is long enough to forget the pressures that worked, the bar setting that fixed the exit push and the reason you went up a spring rate. Club racers also rotate tyres across sets without reliable records of which tyre has how many laps on it.
How Setup Genius fits
Setups are organised by event and session, with a template that shows only the fields your car uses. The tyre bank tracks each tyre's compound, brand, position and lap count. Apex answers setup questions with your own data as context. All of it works on a phone in the pits, and the print view puts a sheet on the garage wall.
Frequently asked questions
I only race four times a year. Is it worth it?
The Free plan costs nothing and keeps your setups between those four weekends, which is exactly when memory fails. Upgrade only if you want more AI chats or a second car.
How long does it take to enter a setup?
With a template tuned to your car, about the same time as filling in a paper sheet. Copying the previous setup and editing the changes is faster still.
Can I share a setup with a friend in the same category?
Yes, by inviting them to a team on a Pro plan or above, or by printing or exporting the setup.
