Rankings that fill up during practice
Most RC ranking software is built for races. Pitboard does the opposite. It ranks your drivers from free practice onward, on its own, every week. Your club lives on between competitions, not just during them. It all plugs into your existing timing system and needs no manual entry at the front desk.
Rankings don't mean competition
When you hear "ranking software," you think official race, entries, heats, finals. Useful twice a year. The rest of the time, those tools sleep, and the club sleeps with them.
Pitboard's concept lies elsewhere. Every time a driver does a practice run with their MyLaps RC4 transponder, their times count. The ranking updates itself. Nobody enters anything.
Result: your members keep coming back to climb the ranking, without you organizing a single race. Tuesday evening practice becomes as motivating as a heat.
Three ways to rank
One session feeds three different rankings. Each rewards a different driving skill, and each is calculated automatically from your timing system.
The weekly championship
We keep your 3 best consecutive laps of the week. Formula 1-style points reward the top finishers. Each week, those points build up toward the season championship. A rolling 12-week ranking also shows your recent form.
The fastest driver
We take your 5 best laps of the month and average them. Not a single lucky lap: sustained speed, the same baseline for everyone.
The 5-minute challenge
We look for your best stretch of 5 minutes running together. Most laps completed wins. It's addictive and good-natured.
Connected to your timing system, nothing to change
Pitboard connects to your MyLaps or Speedhive timing system. It reads your decoder, picks up every pass under the loop and updates the ranking. You don't change a thing about your setup.
Categories stay separate, even on a single timing setup. 1/10 and 1/8 are ranked apart, with no second decoder. Every driver is compared to their real rivals, not to another scale.
And the club can show all of this live on a screen in the clubhouse, while it's running. Drivers watch their spot move between runs.
Just bought a transponder?
The MyLaps RC4 transponder is what identifies your car as it passes under the loop. Without it, no timing, so no ranking. It's the small must-have box for racing "against the clock."
As soon as you run with it, at a club equipped with Pitboard, your times show up automatically in the rankings. Nothing to set, nothing to declare. You hit the track, you're ranked that same evening.
This is often how a driver discovers Pitboard: they just got their transponder, they run, and they spot themselves in their club's ranking. They talk about it, and the whole club gets on board.
All categories, all surfaces
Pitboard doesn't distinguish between disciplines. On-road, off-road, it all runs through the same timing system, so it all gets ranked the same way.
1/8, 1/10, 1/5 and other scales each get their own ranking. On carpet, on asphalt, on astroturf or on dirt, the measurement stays the same: your laps, filtered of glitches.
A club that runs 1/8 off-road on weekends and 1/10 on-road during the week keeps two clean rankings, never mixing the two. Everyone defends their spot in their own category.
This also applies to equipment classes. A club can split stock from modified, blinky from boosted, by its own rules. Rankings follow, automatically.
A ranking, and the whole club with it
The ranking is just the front door. Around it, Pitboard brings together the whole life of the club, the part that usually gets lost between races or in a chat group.
Everything's connected. A driver who appears in the rankings has a profile, a garage, their setups. A visitor looking for a setup for their chassis lands on yours, and discovers your club along the way. It's the virtuous circle: the ranking brings drivers back, and every driver who fills out their garage brings the club a little more to life.
How it gets set up
There's no hardware to buy on the club's side, and no software to install on a computer. Pitboard lives online and connects to your timing system.
In practice, three steps. We connect Pitboard to your MyLaps or Speedhive timing. We import your member list, to match each transponder to a name. And the site updates itself, with every run.
Your drivers access their rankings from home, on a computer or phone. The club, meanwhile, can show the ranking live on a screen in the clubhouse. Many clubs set up an old PC and a screen near the track, and let it run.
From there, nothing else to do. The weekly ranking, the season championship, the records and everyone's progress build themselves without you. All you have to do is drive.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need to organize a race to get a ranking?
No. The ranking fills up from practice sessions onward. Every pass under the transponder counts, automatically, with no manual entry from the front desk.
What are drivers ranked on?
On three measures: the 3 best consecutive laps of the week (championship), the average of the 5 best laps of the month (fastest driver), and the most laps within a 5-minute window (the 5-minute challenge).
What timing system do you need?
A MyLaps or Speedhive timing setup. Pitboard connects to it and picks up every pass automatically, with no change to your setup.
Do I need a MyLaps RC4 transponder?
Yes, every driver runs with their MyLaps RC4 transponder (or equivalent) to be timed. As soon as they run with it at a club equipped with Pitboard, their times appear in the rankings, with nothing to declare.
We run 1/10 and 1/8 on the same timing setup, does that work?
Yes. Categories stay separate even on a single decoder: each scale has its own ranking, with no second set of hardware.
Does it replace the club website?
No, it's the club's living leaderboard for members. It can even display live on a screen in the clubhouse during sessions.
