Introduction
Quick Start
This guide walks you through the essential steps to start analyzing your track session data with TrackOut.
Create your account
Sign up for a TrackOut account and you will be taken to your dashboard. From here you can manage your garage, view upcoming maintenance, and access telemetry analysis.
Add a car to your garage
Before you can save telemetry sessions, you need at least one car in your garage.
- Navigate to Garage from the main navigation
- Click Add Car and fill in your vehicle details
- Your car is now ready to associate with track sessions
Upload your first session
- Navigate to Analytics and select the Telemetry tab
- Click Upload XRK/XRZ and select a telemetry file from your computer
- The file is parsed instantly in your browser -- no data is sent to servers until you save
Supported formats
TrackOut supports .xrk and .xrz files from AIM data loggers, as well as .vbo files from Racelogic VBOX units. XRZ files are automatically decompressed during parsing.
Explore your data
Once your file is parsed, you will see a list of laps along with interactive charts. Here is what to try first:
- Select a lap -- Click any lap in the list to view its telemetry data
- Compare laps -- Select up to 4 laps to overlay them on every chart
- Use the track map -- Click on the GPS track map to see data values at that position
- Check the delta trace -- See where you gain or lose time versus your reference lap
Save the session
After analyzing, you can save the session to your account:
- Select a car from your garage to associate the session with

Saved sessions appear in the session dropdown and can be loaded at any time without needing the original file.
