How to use RACETRACK Follow

Race against the clock and your friends with RACETRACK and add a bit of friendly competition to any event, featuring a stripped-back, minimalist design that’s all about the race.

How to find the RACETRACK player

If RACETRACK is available to you, you can find it by entering the "Freestyle" menu in the Desktop App's top menu (on tablet, the Freestyle menu is located in the footer). From there, click play on the RACETRACK player.

Before the race

When selecting the Racetrack player, you’ll be prompted to set a "lap distance" and "race duration." The software offers some predefined distances and durations to choose from. If these don’t meet your needs, you can input a custom distance and duration. Alternatively, you can run a pure lap-based race, where the time to finish is determined by the riders' performance.

How to connect to the race

Participants join the race using a unique Ticket to Ride code, which is displayed at the top of the Racetrack screen throughout the event. Riders can be displayed using either the first three letters of their name or an assigned number—this setting can be adjusted in the main menu of the Desktop App.
