PONNE · racing software · Finland
Race with a crew. Even alone.
PONNE puts a race engineer in your ear: it calls fuel and pit stops in a real voice, answers when you talk to it, and coaches you corner by corner against a teammate's lap — live. Overlays, telemetry and the whole garage ride along. Free while in beta — no subscription.

S1 · The engineer
An engineer
in your ear
The PONNE spotter calls your race in a real voice — fuel to the lap, pit windows, incidents ahead, the battle behind. Hold a wheel button and ask it anything; it answers. That's table stakes. The part nobody else has: your teammate's lap gets in the car with you.
Reflex spotter, real voice
Cold-tyre warnings, fuel to the lap, pit-window maths, incidents ahead with what and where — spoken like a person, not a robot, right when it matters.
Talk to it
Hold the button: "gap to the leader?", "can we make it on fuel?", "box this lap, four tyres". It hears you, does the maths, and talks back mid-corner if it has to.
Your friend's lap, live
Pick a teammate's lap on the pit wall and send it to the car — the engineer coaches you through every corner against it: "Turn 3 — brake five metres later, carry more mid-corner."
The demo runs on a real recorded session — no install, no sign-in. The engineer ships inside PONNE Overlays.
S2 · The garage
Four machines,
one bench
Each one stands alone; together they cover the drive, the debrief, the stream and the broadcast. The badge tells you honestly where each is.
More machines join the bench over time — they're announced here and in the Discord first.
S3 · The bench
Built on the pit wall,
with the people who race it.
Every machine ships to a small beta first — testers get heard
S4 · How we build
One garage,
wired together
Your crew on one wire
A shared team pit wall, spotter calls straight to the driver's screen, and a live link anyone can open in a browser — the whole garage talks over the PONNE relay.
Built with racers
Everything ships to a small beta before it ships to everyone — testers get heard, and it shows in the changelogs. Updates land in-app, usually within days of the feedback.
No subscription
Every product is free while it wears the beta badge. When that changes, it changes here first — honestly.
S5 · Ask it anything
It does the maths
mid-corner
Hold a wheel button and ask the way you'd ask a real engineer — messy, mid-race, out loud. It works out the answer from your live telemetry and says it back in seconds.
YouHow much do I need to save per lap to get one more lap out of this tank?
PONNESave 0.59 of a litre a lap. You're burning 2.61 — hold it at 2.02 and the tank goes one more.
YouCan I make it to the end without stopping again?
PONNENot at this burn — you're 1.4 laps short. Save 0.24 a lap from here and you make it.
YouIs the car behind actually catching me?
PONNEYes — 0.3 a lap. He's on you in 4 laps if you both hold this pace.
YouWhere am I losing time to Mika?
PONNETurn 7 — you're losing two tenths there, braking five metres earlier than him and picking the throttle up late.
Every figure it speaks comes from a tool reading your telemetry — and an answer containing a number no tool produced is thrown away before you hear it. How that works →

answers
Is PONNE free?
Yes. Every PONNE product is free while it carries the beta badge — no subscription, no card, and nothing stops working when a clock runs out. There is one limit worth knowing, and it's about storage rather than access: laps kept in the cloud locker age out on the window below. If any of this changes, it gets said here first, plainly.
What sims does PONNE work with?
iRacing only, on Windows 10 and 11. PONNE reads iRacing's official telemetry SDK — the same public interface other overlay tools use — so it never modifies game files, never touches your inputs, and needs no configuration to start working.
What is an AI race engineer?
A voice in your ear that watches your telemetry and tells you what matters: fuel to the lap, when your pit window opens, an incident ahead, the car closing behind. PONNE also answers back — hold a wheel button and ask it a question mid-race.
Can PONNE coach me against a friend's lap?
That's the part nothing else does. Pick a teammate's lap in the browser analyzer, send it to the car, and the engineer coaches you corner by corner against it live — "Turn 3, brake five metres later, carry more mid-corner" — while you drive.
Do my teammates need PONNE too?
Only for lap sharing. Solo, PONNE works completely on its own — calls, questions and overlays all run without anyone else. Sharing laps and the team pit wall need the other drivers running PONNE and joining your team, which is the consent step.
How long does PONNE keep my laps?
A lap in the cloud locker is kept if it is either among your newest 50 or less than 90 days old — it's only removed once both are false, so the rule keeps whichever is more. Setup notes are never pruned. Raw telemetry on your own PC is never uploaded and never touched by this.
Does my telemetry leave my PC?
Only what you choose to share. Raw iRacing telemetry files never leave your machine. If you sign in, the compact lap data you upload goes to PONNE's EU-hosted locker, readable by you and the teams you have joined — nobody else, enforced on the server.
