Racetrack Payment System

Sell laps and track time, open the gate automatically, and turn every number plate into a payment and a lap time, all on one platform that works with the gates and cameras you already run.

How it works
Payments, access and lap timing for karting tracks, race circuits, drift tracks and track-day venues

Every uncounted lap is lost revenue

On a busy track the money leaks in the small gaps: laps run over the paid package, sessions that start late and end late, cash handled at a kiosk, and a marshal waving cars through a gate by hand. Every one of those is time your staff spend not selling, and track time you gave away for free.

Autlo closes the gap. The number plate becomes the ticket, the timer and the payment method in one: the gate opens for paid drivers, overruns are billed automatically, and every lap is counted whether or not anyone is watching.

Built for every kind of track

The same plate-based logic runs a single karting oval or a full motorsport circuit.

Karting circuits

Sell laps and timed sessions, open the pit gate automatically and keep the queue moving.

Race & motorsport circuits

Track days, testing and club sessions billed by time on track, per vehicle, with paddock access included.

Drift & skid tracks

Timed practice slots and open sessions, priced by the block and enforced at the gate.

Track-day venues

Pre-sold slots and on-the-day extensions, with overruns charged automatically instead of chased.

Driving experience centres

Packages, vouchers and memberships for guests, tied to their vehicle at the gate.

Motocross & off-road parks

Day passes and season tickets per rider or vehicle, without staffing a remote entrance.

One platform, from the gate to the payout

Recognise the vehicle, open the gate, count the laps, and collect the money automatically.

ANPR access and billing

ANPR access and billing

A car or kart reaches the gate, the plate is read, and access and charging happen in real time. Registered drivers are billed automatically; everyone else gets a simple way to pay before or after their run.

Any gate, any camera

Any gate, any camera

Autlo is hardware-agnostic. Connect to any gate, barrier or door and any digital camera you already own, or add ours. One integration, no vendor lock-in.

Payments drivers actually use

Payments drivers actually use

The Autlo app, your own white-label app, a webshop for pre-booking and pay-later, or a payment machine on site. Regulars and one-off visitors both get a frictionless way to pay.

The same cameras that open the gate also time the laps. Every pass is logged automatically and can be shown on a trackside screen, with no transponders to hand out.

Sell track time the way drivers buy it

A flexible tariff engine instead of a fixed price list: configuration, not custom development.

Per-lap packages

Sell laps as products: 3 laps, 10 laps, or any bundle you like. The plate is counted at the line and the package closes itself when the laps are used.

Time-based sessions

Sell track time by the block: 30 minutes, 2 hours, a full day. The session starts when the vehicle enters and stops when it leaves.

Overuse billed automatically

Run more laps or stay longer than the package allows and the extra is charged automatically, with no disputes at the desk and no revenue written off.

Season tickets & memberships

Sell weekly, monthly or seasonal passes and memberships tied to a vehicle, so regulars just drive in and the gate opens.

Ways to pay

Offer the payment experience that fits your site, or all of them at once.

Racetrack webshop online booking 543b58452b

Webshop

Drivers buy laps, sessions and passes online in advance, or settle a run afterwards, with no account required.

Racetrack app nfc payment 7687b96c37

App

The Autlo app or your own white-label app: buy track time, open the gate and see lap times from the phone.

Racetrack payment machine kiosk 59105ee3d5

Payment machine

An on-site terminal for walk-up drivers who prefer to pay at the track by card.

Access control that opens the gate

Autlo connects to any gate and any digital camera, and opens it by whichever method suits the driver. The same methods open dressing rooms and toilets.

ANPR plate recognition

The gate opens the moment a paid vehicle is recognised, with no ticket, no fob and no stopping.

App opening

Drivers open the gate from the app when a plate read is not practical.

QR scanning

A QR code on the phone or a printed pass opens the gate for guests and one-off visitors.

Pinpad PIN entry

A personal PIN on the gate keypad, handy for members, staff and shared vehicles.

Remote opening

Staff open any gate or door remotely from the Autlo dashboard, for deliveries, guests and one-off exceptions.

Scheduled access windows

Set times when gates, doors and the track open automatically, for members, staff shifts and booked sessions.

Turn lap times into a show

The cameras that collect payment also make the track more fun. Automatic ANPR lap timing feeds a trackside screen that shows each driver their plate, their last lap time and the gap to their personal best, so every session becomes a chase.

Chasing a personal best

Drivers push for a faster time and come back to beat it, turning lap timing into a reason to buy more laps.

More than track time: one account for the whole venue

Everything a driver spends on site runs through the same account and the same invoice.

Fuel sales

Sell fuel from the same account that pays for track time: self-service, tied to the vehicle and reconciled automatically.

EV charging

Run EV chargers in the paddock and car park on the same platform, the same account and the same invoice as the laps.

Dynamic Load Management

Share limited grid capacity across chargers automatically, so a busy paddock never trips the supply.

Dressing rooms & toilets

Open changing rooms and toilets with the same app, QR or PIN methods that open the gate, whether paid or members-only.

White-label racetrack app

Launch a dedicated racetrack app under your own brand, or add these services into an app you already run.

Common questions

Do drivers need a transponder for lap timing?

No. The ANPR cameras that open the gate also time the laps by number plate, so there is nothing to hand out, lose or collect.

Can we keep our existing gates and cameras?

Yes. Autlo connects to any gate, barrier or door and any digital camera you already own, or we can supply them.

How do per-lap and time-based products work together?

You can sell both. A per-lap package closes when the laps are used; a time-based session runs while the vehicle is on track. Anything beyond the package is billed automatically as overuse.

What if a driver has no account or app?

They can buy laps or time through the webshop, pay at a payment machine on site, or open the gate with a QR code. Unpaid use follows an enforcement workflow instead of being written off.

Can the same system open dressing rooms and toilets?

Yes. Changing rooms, toilets and other doors open with the same app, QR and PIN methods used at the track gate.

How is number plate data handled?

The platform is developed in the EU and processes plate data in line with GDPR, and retention, access and purpose are configurable to your legal requirements.

How long does it take to launch?

With existing cameras and gates, a pilot track can typically be running in weeks, because pricing rules, products and payment channels are configuration, not custom development.

Start charging for every lap

Whether you run a karting track, a race circuit or a track-day venue, get automatic payments, flexible per-lap and time-based pricing, gate access on any hardware, and one clear overview of every vehicle, every lap and every euro.
