Kart Chaser Ignites a New Era in Kart Racing Broadcasts

Challenge

Karting, especially at the regional and national level, has historically lacked the broadcast-quality graphics package that fans, drivers, and sponsors expect from professional motorsport. Producing F1 caliber overlays by hand is too slow and too expensive for events running on lean production budgets. The Kart Chaser team needed a way to drive timing towers, grids, results, and race clocks automatically from live race data, with a small crew, while keeping the look and feel of a top tier motorsport broadcast.

Solution

The Kart Racing team built a custom race-data API, modeled on the data architectures behind Formula 1 broadcasts, that streams live positions, lap times, grid orders, and results directly into Singular.live. On top of that pipeline, they use Singular.live’s scripting API to power a network of subcompositions (timing tower, grid, results, race clock) that automatically reflect the current state of the race. A root composition pushes state changes down to each graphic, so a producer triggers a handful of events instead of hand-updating dozens of fields. Singular.live handles the rendering, animation, and output, which lets the team focus engineering efforts entirely on the data layer.

Results

Kart Chaser can now deliver broadcast-grade graphics at events that previously had no realistic path to achieve. A single producer can run the entire graphics package live, because the data pipeline and Singular.live’s scripting take care of the updates automatically. The result is a consistent, professional look across every event they cover, raising the bar for what a karting broadcast can look like and making the product significantly easier to offer to tracks, series, and sponsors.
