Sensible Laps events are saved to a JSON formatted file with the extension .sev (sensible laps event) or a compressed version to save storage space .sevx. The default is sevx and is strongly recommended.


An event can be saved as a template (no entry information is stored in a template). The extension is .setx (sensible event template).


Events can be loaded from either file type.


Once a new event has been saved using save as, or if an event has been loaded from an sev/sevx file, the save option is available, which simply saves over the top of that exisiting file.

Once an event is saved, the autosave feature (if enabled) will automatically save the event on completion of each race.

The autosave feature also saves a seperate copy named by the last race that completed in the Documents\Sensible Laps\autosave\ folder. This folder is automatically purged of old files on startup.


Some standard templates are stored in %localappdata%\Sensible Laps\Templates. These are the templates offered in the event wizard. you can add your own templates to this folder and remove the defaults.

If there are no templates in that folder, the default will be regenerated and saved there again.
