GripGuide v3.2: Per-Round Tire Logging for Race Day

Written by

in

Race day is never one setup. You roll off the trailer on one tire in the morning, the track comes in by the second qualifier, and by the main it has dried out and blown off the edges. Until now, GripGuide let you log one tire per entry. With v3.2, you can log the whole day, round by round, in a single entry.

Here is what is new.

🏁 Per-Round Tire Logging

Open the Track Log, start a New Entry, and flip on Log tires per round. Instead of a single tire, you now get a block for each round of the day. Add one for practice, each qualifier, and the main. Every block is its own little log.

Each round carries its own:

  • Tire and compound for that round
  • Front and rear stagger, if you ran different tires front to back
  • Star rating for how it worked that round
  • Notes for what you felt and what you changed

Label each block however you want. Practice, Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, A-Main, it is a free text field with quick suggestions, so it matches how your club actually runs the day.

📈 See the Whole Day in One View

When you open the entry back up, the full day is right there. Every round is stacked in order with its tire, compound, rating, and notes, so you can see exactly how your setup moved as the track changed. No more guessing next time you hit that track in similar conditions. You have your own progression to look back on.

✅ Quick Logs Still Work the Same

If you just want to drop a single tire and move on, nothing changed. Leave per-round mode off and the form works exactly like it always has. Per-round is there when you want it, out of the way when you do not.

💡 Why This Matters

The real value of the Track Log grows every time someone logs a real session. Per-round logging makes each entry tell the full story of a race day instead of a single snapshot. The more you log, the more useful your history becomes when you are staring at a changing track and trying to decide what to bolt on next. Future you will thank you.
