GrandPrix Race Manager Software Version 4.0 Released

[gpraceman]

GrandPrix Race Manager™ Version 4.0 has just been released! Several new features have been added along with many improvements to make the software easier to use and more versatile.

To find out more, please visit the GrandPrix Race Manager page at GrandPrix Software Central, located at http://grandprix-software-central.com/gprm/.

Here's a summary of what's new:

• Added a Quick Start Tutorial to get you up and running quickly for your race.
• Added a quick schedule generation feature. Now you can create a race schedule with the click of one button.
• Added the ability to ignore the slowest times when scoring by Times. Now, one bad race doesn't mean a racer has to be out of the running.
• Added the ability to select screen background color for all large font screens. This can help improve visibilty when using an projection system or large TV for the audience.
• Added the ability to automatically advance the racing screen to display the next heat, with a configurable time delay.
• Added report filters so you can see just the data that you want to see and print.
• Added the ability for the software to detect which specific parallel and serial ports that are installed on the computer. This makes it easier to setup and test your electronics.
• Added a report to display the race schedule matrix by racer name.
• Added the ability to display only partial racer names on reports so they can be exported and safely posted to a website.
• Added scale speed to the Heat Results report and average speed to the Round Standings reports.
• Added a new type of Lane Rotation Chart, called a Clustered chart. Now you can race small groups of racers through all lanes and then move on to the next cluster of racers.
• Added the ability to start a Normal Lane Rotation Chart from a random number, instead of always the number 1.
• Added a menu option to purge an entire race roster.
• Added the ability to leave the track record holder's name blank, instead of "John Doe".
• Made the number of finalists to advance to a new or Grand Finals round independent of the number of top finishers displayed in the Standings screen.
• And there's more...

I believe that you will not find another race management software package that is as feature packed and as easy to use as GrandPrix Race Manager, at any price.

If you have any questions or comments, please email or PM me.

Thanks,
