Runoffs Live Timing

[reidhazelton]

Anyone know why RaceMonitor or the live timing link that is usually up, isn't up?

Or...where can a guy find the live timing?

[Wren]

I assumed there was no live timing because it is a test day.

[reidhazelton]

You should have assumed I am in idiot and didn't realize it was only Monday. The days have all blended together the last few weeks.

[Phil Green]

I was looking too!

Race Monitor is working now....

[rickrep]

will there be live TV coverage?

[reidhazelton]

will there be live TV coverage?

TV...or internet? TV...no. Not for 6 years. SpeedcastTV.com should have it.

Live Timing does work, sometimes.

[Steve Bamford]

F5/FF/FV/FE grouping I see did a total of 5 laps with most getting in 4 laps.

Hopefully they get more laps later on today.

[Amon]

What is the additional charge for testing today?

[Tiago Santos]

Wasn't it like $1000 for two days? Can't quite remember. It was quite a bit..

[HayesCages]

$1k per car per day. Limited to 50 cars.

[ccoffin]

I think today was like 300 for the 2 sessions. The 1000 was last weekend.

[HayesCages]

I stand corrected... Thanks Charlie.

If you are going to have lime timing on the test day, have live timing on the test day. Based on current streaming capabilities, the costs involved to run the runoffs, and the fact that it is done through race monitor, I find it ridiculous that it only worked half the time today.

Maybe we need to pay more for the transponders to get reliable streaming of lap data.

It appears $400 isn't enough to satisfy the monopoly.

I find race monitor coverage to be incomplete and unreliable much of the time. I never know whether it's the fault of the tracks or race monitor.

[Peter Olivola]

There are a couple of areas that cause the most problems with RaceMonitor.

A slow network connection between the decoder reading computer and the node connecting through the internet to the RaceMonitor servers and a weak internet connection.

The computer reading the decoder needs to be up to minimum spec for the job and should be over capacity by a significant amount. Ethernet port needs to be checked. T&S network needs to be checked. In most cases it's a temporary network that suffers from bad connectivity and is handling a lot of retransmissons.

Few tracks have wired, high speed internet connectivity, relyiing instead on WiFi. As the amount of electromagnetic radiation increases (and T&S/Race Control are particularly dirty,) the same increase in retransmissions produces the same problem.

RaceMonitor itself isn't a problem. While we might like to think the Runoffs puts a load on them, they serve so many events simultaneously it's doubtful the Runoffs cause more than a blip on their bandwidth.

I find race monitor coverage to be incomplete and unreliable much of the time. I never know whether it's the fault of the tracks or race monitor.

Has anyone heard of any streaming live video? just a webcam or ???


Being at work this week really sucks and I'd like to try to live vicariously through the interwebs like all the kids are doing these days-

[Steve Davis]

Live timing seems to be working right now.. SRF on the track. Both the SCCA link and Race-Monitor functioning.

[2BWise]

Race Monitor used to be great.....and free. Now I'm stuck having to subscribe just to follow the action from work. Such a pain.

[HayesCages]

I just posted a message on their (Mazda Raceway)FB page asking if there were any live video feeds available. Probably won't hear anything back though.

[Modo]

disappointing that one of the club guys with a mega-motorhome doesn' t set up even a stationary camera and feed it to his website or temp website and give us the link, guess we havn't arrived yet, old farts, LOL, duh, what's a selfie, LOL!!!

[HayesCages]

The track WiFi sucks there, just sayin'.
Have to use a satellite uplink or something.

[Modo]

video conference a phone on LTE on pit out n the track, we find the IP and then telnet to that ip dunno whats the easy way folks??? yes sat internet is still there, reasonable, but have to be a website me thinks
