Thursday Night Race · Round 1

Heat cards

Each heat shows every pilot's place, channel, holeshot, each lap in order, their total time and the gap to the winner. On track, the card updates with every gate pass and arrows show places gained or lost.

Lap colours

Purple is the fastest lap of the class tonight. Green is the pilot's own best tonight. Gold is the fastest lap of that heat, and a soft outline is the pilot's best in that heat. Dimmed laps came after the finish.

Holeshot

The holeshot is the run from the start to the first gate pass. It isn't a lap; the leaderboard shows each pilot's best (hover for their average).

After finish

Pilots often keep flying after their race is over. The timer still records those passes: they show dimmed with an AF tag after the pilot's laps and are never counted in places, best laps, averages or the season.

The leaderboard

Pilots are ranked by best lap within their class. Best 3 is the fastest run of three consecutive laps in one heat. Average leaves out crashes and resets. Consistency is 0 to 100: higher means steadier laps. Sort by any column with the buttons above the table.

Gaps

The gap is the time behind the winner over the same number of laps, or the number of laps behind.

Lineup and predictions

The lineup lists the heats still to fly in running order. Each pilot shows their class rank tonight (Q) and a predicted place from their pace so far: best three consecutive laps, then best lap, then the season. It's a guide, not a result.

Championship

Points per round across the season, per class. The form pips are each round's points, oldest first; a dash means they didn't race, a faded pip is a round that was dropped.

Favourites

Tap the star next to any pilot to follow them. Favourites are kept in this browser only and work on every race night; turn on Favourites to show only them.

TV, tiles and embedding

The TV view is made for a screen in the pits: big type, the heat on track and a leaderboard that scrolls itself. Pilot tiles show every pilot on track. Add ?embed=1 to drop the site's menus.
