This App has been created by an RC Cars and slot cars hobbyist (myself) that had a need: I wanted to know my lap times when practicing in my local club but the expensive Timing System was not installed. So I created RC Timing. RC Timing is an App that tracks lap times for radio-control and slot cars. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor tracks. This App is not intended to replace your club’s timing system. It is thought to help you in situations where you want to practice and the local timing system is not available. It uses the video camera for tracking the car colors and it offers an easy and intuitive configuration. - RadioControl and Slot Racing cars - Manage different drivers/cars/tracks - No human interaction is required - No external systems are required - Training mode/Race mode - Voice synthesizer (you can connect your iOS device to a Bluetooth speaker) - Track up to 10 cars simultaneously - Store all registered lap times - Show basic statistics - Designed to not drain your battery - Both Practice and Race sessions supported - Detailed guide explaining how to use it - Export lap times to CSV - Offers graphs for better performance analysis - Support for car classes - Pitstops
Great alternative to expensive timing systems.
Was looking to add timing for my backyard off-road track, didn’t want to spend over a grand for friends and my kids to drive so I started looking into apps. It took a bit to get this calibrated right to recognize the cars, but once I did it’s been great.
Good but wish it had slightly more features
I like the app so far; I haven’t done a thorough test and setting camera car colors seems to be a little hard to get right but I’m figuring it out. I’m a little confused on some of the setup but overall seems very efficient at doing what you need it to do. I have purchased all the in app purchases to help support this team. Some features that I would love to see - Formula 1 style Starting Light Sequence when beginning the race - It would be nice if you could have Driver profiles and could then attach different cars for each event to the driver. I have a lot of friends playing and we all take turns picking different cars. So it would be nice to see driver 1 and then could add car 1 and then the next race we could switch and say driver 1 is driving car 2.. then it could keep track of the driver history and race results.
A lot of potential!
I tried to use this outside. My car was white, and the camera was so washed out, even after adjusting settings, it couldn’t distinguish between sunlight on the dark asphalt and my white car. I tried adding a strip of red duct tape to the car, but the color was washed out the red stripe didn’t show up on the camera to select as the color of choice.
Doesn’t work with IOS 14
Spent hours trying to set up the app. Multiple camera angles, multiple cars etc. Even tried spending the $3.99. The app would count laps by itself or just miss the cars most of the time. Don't spend hours like I did. Just look for something else. Will ask for a refund from Apple store.
Works great
Once you get the color detection dialed in it works great! It would excellent if the race data could be exported as csv or some spreadsheet format.
Can’t drag more than one car if you don’t buy it
Why is is that I can’t drag all the 7 cars up
No sound
Difficult to get setup, but seems to work. Unfortunately, sound doesn’t seem to work on an iPhone 6s.
Fix while setting up the camera device in certain iOS models
