The latest GripGuide update is here, and a lot has shipped since the last one. Here is everything new on gripguide.net, from fresh tires to a round of fixes that make the app smoother on your phone. If you missed the big v3.0 update, catch up here.
🔍 A Faster Track Picker
Finding your track in the Track Log used to mean scrolling a long dropdown, and on a phone those longer track names got cramped and hard to read. Now there is a full width search box. Tap the track field, start typing, and your track filters up instantly. You touch this every time you log a session, so making it fast and clean was worth doing right.
📐 Smoother Pop-Ups
If you have ever opened a window in the app on your phone and watched it jump around or cut off the bottom while scrolling, that is fixed. Pop-ups now size to your actual screen and stay put. It hit everything: the Track Log, the Compound Guide, and Settings all feel more solid now.
📊 A Cleaner Compound Guide
The compound comparison chart got a real tidy-up. Brands are now listed alphabetically, and every brand reads the same direction, softest at the top down to hardest at the bottom. Comparing compounds across brands is a lot easier to follow now. The whole compound dataset also moved to a faster format behind the scenes.
🏷️ New Tires
The lineup keeps growing. Added since the last update:
- AKA Reverb
- Pro-Line Vandal
- DIALED-RC V13 and V14
- HotRace Tokyo, the tire that just won the IFMAR Nitro Buggy World Championship
- TZO 403, plus the new TZO Double Green compound
Every one is tagged with the surfaces and compounds it is built for, so GripGuide can match it to your conditions.
🔐 Smarter Account and Sync Fixes
Logging in is more reliable now. The app handles expired sessions cleanly, so you will not get stuck with a silent login failure that leaves your track logs looking empty. Log in again and everything syncs back the way it should.
⚡ Faster, More Shareable, Easier to Find
A few under-the-hood wins: the app now shows a proper preview image and description when you share a GripGuide link, so posts look sharp instead of blank. The tire and compound data loads faster. And the whole thing is friendlier to search engines now, which helps new racers find it.
🔧 What’s Next
Still in the works: logging a different tire setup for each round of a race day, so you can track what you ran in your heats versus your main. More in the next GripGuide update.
