// WHAT_IS_KARTRACERS

kartracers.ru is an independent statistics database for amateur karting in Russia. The project collects, processes and visualises data on races, pilots and teams, making amateur karting transparent and analytical.

We are not affiliated with any karting track or championship. All data is collected automatically from open sources and updated daily.

// COVERAGE

// DATA_SOURCES

• Racemann — timing system for rental karting tracks. Stints, laps, team results.
• KartChrono — timing system for amateur and competitive karting.
• AMKC — results archive of the Association of Moscow Karting Clubs.
• Telegram channels — 38 karting track channels for the race calendar and announcements.

// METHODOLOGY

Pilot ratings are calculated using the formula KRP (Karting Rating Points) — a composite score of 7 components: speed, consistency, result, experience, breakthrough, trend and constancy. For pilots with few races, Bayesian smoothing (K=4) is applied to avoid inflated scores.

Managers are rated on a 5-point scale based on their teams' results, accounting for race duration and Bayesian smoothing.

I race at rental karting tracks in Moscow and know first-hand how hard it is to track your results when every track uses its own timing system.

The idea for kartracers.ru came from a simple need: to have a unified rating and unified statistics, independent of which telemetry a particular venue uses — Racemann, KartChrono or something else. I wanted to see how I progress relative to other pilots, compare results across different karting tracks and understand who is genuinely fast and who just drives a familiar circuit.

That is how KRP was born — a unified rating of 7 components that works on data from all venues. kartracers.ru now aggregates results from 74 karting tracks, calculates ratings for 22,064 pilots and updates automatically every day.
