RC Timing3.6 - App Store

This App has been created by an RC Cars and slot cars hobbyist (myself) that had a need: I wanted to know my lap times when practicing in my local club but the expensive Timing System was not installed. So I created RC Timing.

RC Timing is an App that tracks lap times for radio-control and slot cars. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor tracks.

This App is not intended to replace your club’s timing system. It is thought to help you in situations where you want to practice and the local timing system is not available.

It uses the video camera for tracking the car colors and it offers an easy and intuitive configuration.
