TRACE — GT7 Telemetry Suite

Telemetry Racing Analytics & Comparative Engine

A live telemetry dashboard, lap analyst, and race analyst for Gran Turismo 7 — reads the UDP telemetry stream straight off your PS4/PS5 over your local network. No mods, no jailbreak, just the game's own broadcast data.

Also published on PyPI as gt7tracetelem.

What's in the box

Live Dashboard

• Real-time speed, RPM, gear, throttle/brake, tyre temps & slip
• Mini track map with live position
• Configurable recording sample rate (10/20/30/60 Hz)
• Live delta vs. a reference lap
• Connection diagnostics — heartbeats, packet loss, decrypt/parse failures, actionable error messages
• Remembers known-good PS4/PS5 IPs
• Incident timeline
• Lap history table with alerts

Lap Analyst

• 14 chart groups: inputs, engine, tyres, dynamics, braking, laps, traction, ratings, and more
• A/B lap comparison
• Dual replay — synced and realtime
• Driver ratings radar
• Track map heatmaps across 9 metrics
• CSV / HTML export

Race Analyst

• Same chart-group depth as Lap Analyst, adapted for full races
• Race timeline, minimap heatmap, replay

Tooling

• add_car.py / add_track.py — add missing car/track IDs to the local database
• Car and track ID databases kept current -- the car database is refreshed every time 10 or more new cars have been added since the last update

Install

Option 1 — pip

pip install gt7tracetelem

The importable module is gt7telem (not gt7tracetelem) — the PyPI distribution name and the import name are different:

import gt7telem
gt7telem.get_snapshot()

Or just run gt7telem from a terminal to launch the GUI menu.

If you already have an unrelated package that installs a top-level gt7telem module, the two will conflict. Check first with pip show gt7telem.

Option 2 — from source

Works on Windows, macOS, or Linux with Python 3.10+.

git clone https://github.com/ransh2014/gt7telemtrace.git
cd gt7telemtrace
pip install -e .
gt7telem

Option 3 — standalone binaries

No Python required — grab a prebuilt Windows .exe or Linux binary from gt7trace.netlify.app/setup.html.

Quick start

1. Launch gt7telem (or run the source/binary).
2. Pick Live Dashboard, Lap Analyst, or Race Analyst from the menu.
3. Make sure GT7 is running on your PS4/PS5.
4. Enter your console's IP in the Dashboard field and hit Enter — it's remembered for next time.
5. Recorded laps save to a laps/ folder next to wherever you run it from.

Find your console's IP: Settings → Network → View Connection Status on your PS4/PS5.

Public data API

import gt7telem

gt7telem.set_ip("192.168.1.X")
gt7telem.wait_for_connection()

snap = gt7telem.get_snapshot()
print(gt7telem.get_car_name(snap))

See gt7telem.__all__ for the full list of exported functions (get_snapshot, set_car, set_track, get_diagnostics, get_car_name, get_track_name, all_track_names, settings persistence, and more). The GUI apps (dashboard, lap_analyst, race_analyst) are available as submodules for anyone building on top of TRACE directly.
