Speedhive does the timing. Pitboard brings the club to life.
Speedhive does its job really well: timing your races and publishing results. But between competitions, the club falls back into silence. Pitboard connects to the same timing system and takes care of everything else: the practice ranking, the season championship, records and garages. You don't leave Speedhive, you extend it.
What Speedhive does really well
Speedhive is MyLaps timing online. On race day, it does exactly what's asked of it: heats, live times, official results, event history. It's solid and everyone knows it.
Pitboard isn't trying to replace that. The race clock stays with Speedhive. Pitboard builds on that same data and extends it, so the club stays alive on the other days of the week too.
What's missing between races
Speedhive is built around the event. A race, results, then it closes until the next one. That's perfect for competition, but a club doesn't only run in competition.
Tuesday evening practice sessions, meanwhile, count for nothing. Times get clocked, then forgotten. There's no weekly ranking, no season championship building up on its own, no track record staying on display. A driver who runs well in practice has nothing to show for it.
That's exactly the gap Pitboard fills: giving every session a stake, not just the two or three races of the year.
What Pitboard adds
On the same timing system, with nothing to reinstall, Pitboard brings out everything that keeps a club alive between competitions.
The practice ranking
Every pass under the transponder counts, right from free practice. The weekly ranking fills up on its own, with no race organized.
Championship and records
Points build up week after week toward the season championship. The track's best lap stays on display, with the name of whoever holds it.
Garages and setups
Every driver has their own profile, their garage, their shared setup sheets. Plus classifieds between members. The whole life of the club, in one place.
Rankings for your own members, not visitors
A race is a snapshot of one moment. One heat's ranking, one Sunday. Often with drivers from elsewhere. Great for settling things on that day.
Pitboard does something else. It ranks your own members against each other. Not passing visitors. It's this in-house ranking that bonds the club together.
Your drivers race each other. They compare themselves week after week. Everyone wants their spot ahead of their clubmates.
And above all, nobody needs to love competition. Many of your members never race. With Pitboard, they're ranked without asking for anything.
It's a small, good-natured, unintentional competition. You get hooked without noticing. And sometimes it makes you want to try a real race.
What your drivers get out of it
For a driver, Speedhive gives a race result. Pitboard gives a standing that lives. Everyone has their own profile: best lap, progress, rankings, and their full practice history. You see where you stand, and how much you've improved since last month.
Everyone also has their own garage: their cars, their setups, their photos. A driver looking for a good setup for their chassis finds a clubmate's. Spare gear gets resold between members, in the classifieds. None of this exists on race day: it lives between races, and that's what brings people back.
Both on the same timing system
No second hardware, no second decoder. Pitboard reads the same MyLaps or Speedhive setup you already use. The same MyLaps RC4 transponder on the car feeds both: Speedhive for the race, Pitboard for the life of the club.
On race day, Speedhive runs the heat live as usual. Pitboard then picks up the times afterward and updates the weekly ranking, the championship and the records. The two complement each other instead of stepping on each other's toes.
For the club, nothing changes in the setup. We add Pitboard on top, and practice sessions start to count.
We don't replace your timing system, we extend it
You keep Speedhive for what it does well. You keep running your races exactly as before. Nobody at the club has to relearn a timing tool.
Pitboard simply sits on top, as the club's living showcase: the site drivers check from home, the screen running in the clubhouse, the ranking that makes you want to come back and drive. The timing stays the timing; Pitboard is the club around it.
Which club is this for?
For any club already running MyLaps or Speedhive that feels its practice sessions deserve better than a notebook forgotten in a drawer. If your drivers run regularly, week after week, but nothing shows it or rewards it, that's exactly where Pitboard changes things.
You have nothing to migrate, nothing to give up. You connect Pitboard to your existing timing setup, you import your member list, and the weekly ranking starts filling up from the next session.
Whether you're a small indoor 1/10 on-road club or a big outdoor 1/8 off-road club, the principle is the same: Speedhive stays your timing system, Pitboard becomes your living showcase. Small or large membership, one category or several, the setup adapts to what you're already running.
