Up to 7,000
images per minute.
Analyse motorsport event photographs at up to 7,000 images per minute in the cloud. RaceLabs sends lightweight previews for analysis while your full-resolution originals stay on your disk, ready for editing and delivery.
Cloud photo analysis rate; throughput varies with workload and service availability. Preparation, uploads, review, editing and publication have their own timings. See the complete workflow below.

From files
to finished galleries.
Cloud analysis is one part of the job. Time these stages on your first event to build a delivery schedule you can use.
| Stage | What happens | What affects the time |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare | Back up the shoot and prepare analysis previews | Computer, file count, size and format |
| Upload previews | Send lightweight files for analysis | Payload and sustained upload speed |
| Analyse | Analyse photos at up to 7,000 images per minute and group the event by rider or vehicle | Workload and service availability; preparation and transfer are separate |
| Review and edit | Correct assignments and prepare the files you want to sell | Uncertain matches, split groups and your editing choices |
| Upload and publish | Transfer finished gallery files, publish and check delivery | Full-resolution photo/video payload, connection and checks |
A processing rate does not measure the time to a reviewed, edited, published gallery. See the complete RaceLabs workflow.
Smaller previews.
A smaller transfer.
An illustration, not a measured product benchmark: 10,000 photographs at 50 MB per original make 500 GB. If each analysis preview is 0.25 MB, the previews total 2.5 GB. Actual file and preview sizes vary.
| Assumed payload | Size | Calculated transfer time |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 originals × 50 MB | 500 GB | 20,000 s = 5 h 33 min 20 s |
| 10,000 previews × 0.25 MB | 2.5 GB | 100 s = 1 min 40 s |
2.5 ÷ 500 = 0.005, or 0.5%: the preview payload is 1/200 of the original payload in this example. Transfer seconds = GB × 8,000 ÷ Mbps. These calculations exclude protocol overhead, retries and every other workflow stage; they are not a comparison with another product.
Your connection still matters
At a sustained 2 Mbps, the same 2.5 GB of previews takes 10,000 seconds, or 2 h 46 min 40 s, before overhead. Check the upload available where you will work, especially at a circuit.
Allow for RAW and video
Preparation depends on your source files and computer. Video also needs analysis, clip review and final transfer. A calculation for still-photo previews cannot establish video delivery time.
Your photographs.
Your delivery standard.
Review the whole collection
Inspect the rider or vehicle groups and the Unclear bin. Correct wrong assignments, merge split groups where appropriate and check the final set. For shared cars or karts, confirm driver labels with session or stint information.
Follow the trackday photo grouping and review steps on a complete motorcycle event.
Keep your editing workflow
Save ordinary local folders and finish your edits. The Lightroom Classic export plugin uploads finished JPEGs into the event. Uploading and publishing are separate steps, with time to check the gallery before customers use it.
For a branded photo and video store, allow time to transfer the finished full-resolution files as well as the sorting previews.
Understand the benchmark
The June 2026 internal rider benchmark reports retrieval mAP 0.991, B³ precision 0.996 and B³ recall 0.863. These measure ranking and grouping within that sample, not delivery time or a universal accuracy rate.
Judge previews by the results
The published benchmark does not include a controlled comparison of compression levels. Check difficult frames and the correction work on your own event before judging whether the workflow fits.
The TrackDayPhoto customer story shows published rider galleries and photo/video packages. These illustrate the customer experience after publication; store listings are not timing measurements.
