RaceCapture app 2.16.1 – More beautiful UI, PodiumConnect/Micro support, bug fixes galore

Exciting news from Autosport Labs: RaceCapture software just leveled up! We’re thrilled to roll out versions 2.16.0 and 2.16.1 together, bringing compatibility, polish, and reliability improvements across the board.

Key Highlights

  • PodiumConnect/Micro Compatibility
    Support was added for PodiumConnect/Micro, both in the setup views as well as the WiFi / Telemetry configuration pages:
  • Refined User Experience
    We’ve tuned up the user experience of the app:
    • Better looking defaults for the triple bottom gauges in the default dashboard for at-a-glance telemetry
    • Improved track-selection lists and setup-wizard visuals
    • Touch-friendly chart markers that stay visible above or below your fingertip on mobile

More features and fixes for 2.16.0

While the full changelog is available in our docs, here’s a quick roundup of the major enhancements:

  • WiFi Telemetry Configuration – enables WiFi telemetry for PodiumConnect/Micro.
  • System Channel Defaults – new built-in defaults for wheel speeds, transmission and differential temps.
  • Video & Trackmap Gauges – added mute/unmute, “zoom to fill,” generic “No trackmap loaded” fallback, auto-hiding controls, and more reliable performance.
  • Stability & Reliability – smoother lap lists during window resizing, more robust USB connections on desktop, and guards against display failures in raw-channel gauges.

What’s Fixed in 2.16.1

We’ve squashed the remaining glitches to keep you focused on racing:

  • Track selection now works flawlessly in lap recalculation, setup wizard, and elsewhere.
  • Pit-stop timer help text is crisp and clear.
  • Mobile chart value markers correctly reposition above or below your touch point.

Available on all platforms. Seriously.

The RaceCapture app runs basically everywhere. If you’re on mobile, it probably auto-updated to the latest version!
