No number. Still a rider.
Practice and open pit lanes rarely show a number. RaceLabs matches rider and bike instead; a visible number names the group.

- Made for
- Motorcycle trackday and race photographers.

- Rider and motorcycle appearance. No visible number required.
- Works with
- RAW, JPEG and video. Normal rider folders on your disk.
- You control
- Editing and delivery. You review only the exceptions.
01 / Automatic rider grouping
Different views.
One rider group.
Grouped by rider, not by number board. Rear views and half-covered leathers included.
Example 01 / Number out of sight
The number disappears. The rider doesn’t.
Front views and a rear view with no visible race number appear together in this published rider group.
Same rider. One group.
Example 02 / Leathers partly covered
New angle. Covered leathers. Same rider.
Front and rear views appear together in this published rider group. An orange vest covers much of the back in one view; more of the leathers are visible in another. Number 210 is visible on the motorcycle.
Same rider. One group.
Real photographs. Original demo crops. Rider groups from the published RaceLabs motorsport demo.
One event. Every rider, their own folder.

Rider matching.
Beyond the
race number.
Every rider carries a signature: helmet, leathers, bike. RaceLabs matches it, even with no readable number.
See how rider matching helpsSame rider. New angle.
Helmet, leathers and livery carry through every angle. Mid-corner, wet or in a pack, same folder.
Two riders in the frame.
One frame, both riders, both groups. You never have to pick one customer for the shot.
You make the final call.
Blurry frames are set aside and uncertain ones go to Unclear. Those exceptions are all you review.
What does the software actually recognise?
| Method | What it looks for | The motorcycle photography challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Number recognition / OCR | Readable digits on a number plate or bib. | A rear view, obstruction or missing number may leave no usable digits. |
| Facial recognition | Visible facial features. | A full-face helmet often conceals the face. |
| Rider signatures | Connects photographs of the same rider across the event. | Can connect different views without a readable number. Uncertain frames go to the Unclear bin rather than into the wrong rider. |
03 / Card to rider folders
From trackday
to rider folders.
Keep your camera, your editing tools, your delivery. RaceLabs does the sorting in between.
Bring in the shoot.
Back up your card, then point RaceLabs at the folder. RAW, JPEG and video.
The rider groups take shape.
The whole event sorts in one pass from lightweight previews, analysed in Germany. Originals never leave your disk.
Edit and deliver.
Save the folders and edit in Lightroom. The RaceLabs plugin sends finished JPEGs back to your event.

sorting: answered.
Real workflows have details.
These are the ones photographers ask about.
Can I sort motorcycle photos without visible race numbers?
Yes. RaceLabs matches riders by helmet, kit and bike, so no readable number is needed. A visible number simply names the group.
How long does it take to sort a motorcycle trackday?
RaceLabs sorts 20,000+ photos a minute, the whole event in one pass. Blurry frames are set aside, so you review only the exceptions.
What if two riders look similar, or a rider changes bikes?
Uncertain frames go to the Unclear bin for your call. You can merge, split, rename or reassign any group.
Does it support my RAW files and Lightroom workflow?
Yes. RaceLabs reads CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG and JPEG into normal folders. The Lightroom Classic plugin uploads finished JPEGs to your event.
Do I have to upload my full-resolution originals?
No. Only lightweight previews are analysed, on cloud GPUs in Germany. Your originals stay on your disk, never recompressed.
Can it organise video as well as photos?
Yes. RaceLabs matches riders in MP4, MOV, AVI and MKV footage and creates per-rider clips alongside the photos.
What does it cost after the free first event?
The first event is free up to 50,000 images and 3 days. Then from €0.01 per photo, less with volume, and no subscription: 5,000 photos cost €50. Website setup and payment-provider fees are separate.
See current pricing →Do I need a RaceLabs website to use the sorting app?
No. Deliver the folders through any gallery or service. The optional RaceLabs website sells under your brand from €600, with 0% commission.
