Grand-Prix Race Manager Software

Item # 260845

$59.95

Quantity:

GrandPrix Race Manager is an application that will help you manage your Pinewood Derby®, Awana® Grand Prix, Space Derby®, Raingutter Regatta® or similar race. GrandPrix Race Manager handles registering racers to determining award winners, making your race more organized, shorter and enjoyable for all. GrandPrix Race Manager is highly customizable and easy to use.

Key Features:

• Adapts to Other Types of Races - Customizable for racing Cars, Semi-Trucks, Rockets, Boats, or other race vehicles.
• Step By Step Use - The software indicates the steps to take to run your race. You can check off each step as you go.
• Number of Lanes - Supports from 1 to 8 lane tracks.
• Simple Racer Registration - Manually enter racers or import racer information from an existing spreadsheet or database. Racers can choose their own car numbers or they can be assigned by the race staff or the software itself.
• Race Charts
  • Compatible with most non-elimination methods such as Perfect-N Type, Stearns, Lane Rotation, Round Robin, and others. Generate Perfect-N Type or Lane Rotation Charts or import your own charts.
  • GrandPrix Race Manager now supports " Dynamic Racing". Racers are matched based on performance in earlier heats. This maximizes the number of racers to win at least one heat and also leads to closer races for racers at all levels.
  • You can even race without charts for ad-hoc racing.

GrandPrix Race Manager DOES NOT support Single, Double or Triple Elimination.  Basically, to determine if your race method will work with this software, is if the vehicle numbers can be placed into a grid of lanes versus heats. If your race chart changes dynamically over the course of the race, it will NOT be compatible with GrandPrix Race Manager, so you may want to consider using a supported          scheduling method. GrandPrix Race Manager does, however, have its own built-in dynamic scheduler.

• Race Scoring - Score by total points (based on finish order) or by cumulative, average or single fastest elapsed time. With times scoring, you can even ignore each racer's worst time, so one bad run doesn't hurt them. Points and Times can be entered manually or automatically via one of the supported timing systems.
• Other Hardware Supported - Supports triggering a solenoid start gate and drag racing style start light "Christmas Tree" via the serial port.

Important Note: GrandPrix Race Manager no longer supports triggering via the parallel port.

• Awards Management - You can define an unlimited number of design, speed and other awards and designate the winners of each. You can even print out awards and participation certificates!
• Large Font Displays - Roster, Racing, Standings and Awards screen fonts are large enough to display on a large TV or projection system for your audience to see.
• Highly Customizable - Many options are provided to allow you to customize the software to better suit your needs.
• Reports - Numerous reports are provided to help you manage your entire race from race rosters to reports on results and race statistics. Reports can also be exported to various file formats and even be posted to your website.
• Race Rounds - Run any number of rounds for each race group. You can also run a Grand Finals round of the top finishers from each race group.
• Fully Featured Racing Screen - Shows current heat's and "On Deck" racers and race results, use sound effects, display track record, display top 10 times, automatically receive input from a timing system, and other features. You can also run test races without having to register racers, and run head-to-head tiebreaker heats, if needed.
• Data Export - You can export report data and create your own custom reports.
• Race Statistics - Detailed statistics are provided for racers, heat turnaround times, lane, and overall race statistics.

Minimum Software Requirements:
• 2.2 GHz or better CPU
• Windows® XP SP3, Vista SP2 or 7
