We are recording this one now. It will play right here when it is ready.

A rally runs one car at a time over a course, timed from start to finish. Event Setup has a Race Settings step for rally that sets what kind of rally, how runs are timed, and the course.

Before you start

  • Classes and drivers set up.
  • For gate timing, LyxBridge connected with gates checked in.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Start the event

    The steps for a rally are Event Info, Race Type, Classes, Race Settings and Review.

  2. 2

    Choose Rally

    Rally is timed runs, one car at a time: Best Run, Time Attack or a multi-stage rally, on start and finish gates, one loop, or a start/stop button.

  3. 3

    What kind of event?

    Stage Rally scores total time across stages. Time Attack gives more runs and the fastest single run wins.

  4. 4

    How are runs timed?

    Timing gates use transponder or beam gates at start and finish. One loop: start and finish uses one loop for both.

  5. 5

    Runs and scoring

    Scoring is Best Run (best one counts) or Average of all runs.

  6. 6

    Review and Apply

    The review line sums it up, for example "Best Run rally, 3 runs, best one counts".

Tips

  • Start/stop button needs no gates: you start and finish each run with Space and Enter, or a USB race button.
  • Best Run: timed runs, best one counts. Time Attack: more runs, fastest single run wins. Stage Rally: total time across stages.
  • With two or more classes, choose Run mixed or One class at a time.

Troubleshooting

"No timing gates detected".
Connect LyxBridge first, or choose Start/stop button. Rally Control also warns if gate timing has no gates set, with a link back to Race Settings.
