Vetkuro
telemetry analysis for track-day drivers
Last verified:
What is Vetkuro?
Vetkuro is a telemetry analysis tool for track-day drivers that helps answer not just what happened on a lap, but why it happened. It combines a mobile recorder, a web analyzer, and an early hardware logger concept into one workflow for capturing and reviewing track sessions.
The mobile app records sessions on iOS and Android, detects laps and sectors, and can connect to BLE GPS, OBD-II adapters, GoPro footage, and BLE heart-rate sensors. Sessions sync to the cloud and are later reviewed in the web analyzer.
The web analyzer focuses on comparing laps by distance, showing speed traces, racing lines, sector deltas, and channel overlays. That lets drivers compare braking points, apex speed, corner exit, throttle, brake input, and engine RPM side by side.
Vetkuro is aimed at track-day drivers, amateur racers, karters, motorcycle riders, driving instructors, and technically curious builders. It is positioned as a lighter, more accessible alternative to professional race-engineering setups while still supporting richer telemetry analysis than a basic phone app.
Vetkuro pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
The website does not list a formal pricing page, subscription tiers, or plan names. It presents Vetkuro as being in public beta and invites users to grab the app, but it does not describe a free tier, paid tier, or included limits on the page. Hardware is described as an early prototype and not yet shipping, so there is no purchase price shown for the device either.

Frequently asked questions about Vetkuro
What problem does Vetkuro solve?
Vetkuro helps track-day drivers understand why a lap was faster or slower by comparing telemetry rather than just looking at lap time. It is built to answer questions like where time was lost, whether braking happened earlier or later, whether corner exit was faster, and whether the driver took a different line.
What does the mobile app do?
The mobile app records track sessions from a phone and detects laps and sectors. It can also connect to telemetry and accessory devices such as BLE GPS receivers, OBD-II adapters, GoPro footage, and BLE heart-rate sensors.
What can you analyze in the web app?
The web analyzer shows speed traces, racing lines, sector deltas, and channel overlays. It compares laps by distance around the track, which helps line up braking, apex, and exit behavior at the same point on circuit instead of only matching timestamps.
How does Vetkuro handle different telemetry sources?
Vetkuro is designed for multi-rate telemetry, including GPS, OBD-II, phone IMU, heart-rate data, and video. The page says it aligns these streams onto the same lap and distance axis so they can be read together in one analyzer.
Does Vetkuro work without extra hardware?
Yes, the website says the phone alone can cover most amateur use cases. Extra hardware such as higher-rate BLE GPS, OBD-II adapters, or the dedicated logger is optional and intended for more demanding setups.
What is the Vetkuro hardware device?
Vetkuro hardware is an early prototype of an ESP32-based telemetry collection device. It is described as supporting high-rate GPS and OBD-II, with the goal of serving vehicles where the phone is not enough.
Is the hardware available to buy now?
No, the website explicitly says the hardware is an early prototype and not yet shipping. The roadmap says the goal is to make it available for purchase later, depending on testing results.
Who is Vetkuro for?
Vetkuro is built for track-day drivers, amateur racers, karters, motorcycle riders, driving instructors, and curious builders interested in GPS and sensor fusion. The site also says race engineers and teams looking for a lighter setup are welcome.
What stage is the product at?
Vetkuro is in public beta, started in April 2026. The page says it already has a working mobile recorder, cloud sync, and a web analyzer, with around 150 users and over 100 recorded sessions.
What are Vetkuro's current limitations?
The website says the current analysis shows the data but does not yet pinpoint exactly where the driver is losing time. It also says simple video overlay generation is still a desired improvement, and broader OBD-II coverage and better BLE reliability are on the roadmap.
