As you all know RCGarage Global Driver Ranking System was released earlier this year. It's been catching an eye of many racers from all over the World since then. We must admit that while the most obvious part of having any kind of rankings is more like a fun aspect of the hobby and sport there was quite a lot of controversy regarding it.

First of all we highly value the effort of user's feedback and we would like to say thank you all of you who took time and gave us tips and constructive criticism.

Since the release we were observing the ongoing events and constantly working on the adjustments to the ranking system to make it even more fair and yet more easier to understand.

After some tests and fine tuning we would like to introduce an important update to the ranking system where there are couple key points we must highlight:

1. There is no more previously called "Big events" category that gave extra points. Instead all the "big events" are now part of one single category called: "Featured events". Those events are considered as 200+ ranked entries or 10+ represented countries overall.
2. There is new important category that give extra bonus points called: "IFMAR Events". Those are World Championship events. That means there will be a specific extra bonus for the classes where IFMAR Worlds are taking place.

So there you go, all the rankings have been adjusted already and are online. You can check them out here: RCG Driver Rankings

Special thanks to all of our subscribers and to our sponsor: Tekno RC for continuous support (visit website teknorc.com)! You guys are making all of this happen!

It's time for every class, driver, and a multitude of events to be included WORLDWIDE!

RCGRankings is updated daily… Yes DAILY!

Our data shows more than 250,000 racers competing Worldwide in many different classes. With this abundance of data at our fingertips powered by RCGarage we set the Goal to classify the entire World and every class down to the club level. This now allows every racer competing to know how they rank in each and every class entered on both a National and Global level! How cool is that!?

Now this ranking system was not thrown together overnight. It has been a labor of love to quantify and make all this data make sense in a clear and concentrated way. The data is derived from the inception of RCGarage that keeps a racers rolling data going back 10 years! And now you do not have to have 10 years of data to be ranked. All the info for ‘How it Works’ is in a clickable link at the bottom.

So what does a true ranking system mean for you, your competition, and sponsors? Well first and foremost you are able to see where your rank is against the best in the World! Are you #1? Remember RCGRankings takes all classes into account so you are able to gauge your abilities against your buddies at your local track all the way up to the best of the best. This then becomes a tool for you to track your own progress and a benchmark for potential sponsors that you may be chasing? This truly is your report card of your racing progress in real time. Numbers don’t lie and RCGRankings make it all make sense for you and the companies you may race for.

Team Managers and Companies alike now have a true tool to get a sense of a new and existing drivers abilities, accolades, and gauge the level of sponsorship they deem necessary. Also beyond their abilities you can track a driver to see if they are active in the racing community, competing on a weekly or monthly basis, and if they have been improving over the years to gauge their new year contracts. It's all there for you at your fingertips, just type in a name!

As some of you may know there is an integrated lap timing and scoring system within RCGarage platform. It's been there for awhile now. 6 years to be exact. For all this time we continued to put effort into developing the system that can be used by anyone anywhere with as the less effort as possible and without special technical knowledge. This system has complete integration with our RCGarage platform and it's been free to use for all this time.

With the continuing growth of the system through the years and with increasing number of users we have decided to create a team and make our RCGTiming and Scoring system as a standalone project! This will allow us to extend our service support and make exclusive features to the system when required. That is why we introduce a couple of paid subscription plans along with the FREE one of course that will always be there.

Will this affect the integration with RCGarage?

No, it will not affect the integration at all because we know how important that is to have all the entities like Driver Profiles, Tracks and Clubs share the same platform.

How RCGTiming being as a standalone project will affect on the current RCGarage users?

All the current RCGarage users will share the same accounts with RCGTiming so everyone who had been using our lap timing system before will be able to log in using the same credentials.
IMPORTANT: All the active RCGTiming accounts will gain Special type of subscription plan as a reward for being with us all that time and providing us with important feedback. This subscription plan will be free of charge!

How to become an RCGTiming user?

If you are a race organizer or you just want to try our Lap Timing and Scoring system out you can just sign up on the website https://rcgtiming.com/ and pick a suitable subscription plan.
Note: If you have an active RCGarage user account you can just log in using respective credentials and just pick a subscription plan.

Development of our one of the most popular tools RCTrackBuilder continues and based on frequent demand we added the ability to view the track layout (in 3D mode) for non-logged in users.

In addition, the track builder tool itself is now integrated into our timing and scoring system RCGTiming. So one can set a specific track layout for any given event in the database. That will make it not just be available for all users to view the track layout, but also it becomes possible to display it as an interactive mini-map in the video broadcast with online tracking of the predicted position of each driver in the race!

We continue to move forward and we continue to develop our project every single day, accumulating and processing feedback from users of RCGarage!

Today we want to introduce a big change in our integrated timing and scoring system. That was the result of recent few months of work and includes significant changes in RCGTiming UI.

IMPORTANT: For all those users who use RCGTiming to organize racing events and are worried about many updates, you shouldn't worry much because all the existing functionality remains, only its location changes. Nevertheless, if you have any questions about the new interface, you can always get an answer using our feedback form here.

List of the most important changes in the current update:

• Whole new main screen of the event
• Changed the navigation between sections of the current event. You no longer need to switch screens going from different configuration sections
• Practice tab is right there on the main screen with background sound announcements
• A dedicated list of the drivers in addition to the list of entries
• A brand new way to manage an event
• Optimization of the control panel on the main event screen and in the race screen
• In addition, many optimizations have been made related to the race schedule and various useful features have been added, including restarting the race and viewing the driver's lap chart right from the ongoing race screen

Thanks to our supporters and all of you who help our project grow! You are the reason we continue to develop more and more new features and make them available for everyone!

In today's update we open access to the feature that has been available for more than two years only to certain users who somehow supported and helped RCGarage project grow big!

Starting of today each and every RCGarage user has the opportunity to analyze the progress of each racer within individual competition event, namely to see the dynamics of his racing lap performance from race to race on the respective chart. In addition, on the detailed event statistics page, you can now also see a comparative chart of the best and average lap of each of driver!

And once again to say thank you to all those who supported and continue to support our project, we have implemented a special distinctive sign that will be attached to all visible name of the project supporter!

Thank you and stay tuned for more updates!
