Suggested Feature for future edition of GPRM

Post by pack529holycross »

I know that the Grand Prix Race ORGANIZER is a different software package, but I was wondering if it would not be beneficial to all if an additional piece of data would flow over from one to the other - the photo of the driver ( or car ). Then, as the racing order is projected on the big screen, the drivers picture ( or a picture of their car ) would appear next to their name.

Thoughts?

You may see some photo features in GPRM V8 :wink:

Though, I don't know about trying to show photos on the racing screen's list of current racers. I don't think they would really be visible enough, especially with 8 lanes. I was thinking more of showing the heat winner in the bottom section.

I'll pass on the suggestion to the author of GPO. Though, they store the photos inside their data file. They are working on a new version, so maybe that will change.

I can defintely see having the ability of getting DerbyDMV and GPRM working together with the photos.
