Race Coordinator settings

Race formats

We race toy cars in 4 lane formats. With only 4 drivers on the track at a time, the computer has to do the math and compare where each driver is at the same point in time or space.

With lap races, the computer comares our time

With timed races the computer compares our distance.

24 hours of LeMans

race for 24 hours, who ever went the furthest is the winner

Indy 500

race for 500 miles (250 laps) winner is the fastest to get there

Settings for Lap races

In a distance race , if you dont allow all drivers to finish the distance (laps) it will create artifical scores at the end.

Race Results file

When everyone race the same distance, its easy to find out who did it the fastest.

find your file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Race Coordinator\data\xaml

Use Crash n Learn for drop outs

sometimes a driver will have car issue and drop out of a heat. If they drop out, the computer will see they have a lower time so we can penalize them here for dropping out.

Red must be set, green is optional times, yellow should be the # of laps you run in the heat.

assigning penalties

if you left click on a users name they get a DQ

If you right click on the same name, it takes away a penalty

Season Points

we use 10-1 season points for race wins
