About

12 Car Rally Timer

Features
Read full description

The 12 Car Rally Timer app is for use by organisers and marshals of small rally events of up to 12 vehicles (known as 12-Car Rallies in the UK) which involve any form of timed activity. Rally Event Name, Rally Section, Control Number and Control Name are all adjustable. You can use the standard iPhone time, or adjust it for Rally Time. Record arrival time of individual cars using either the Car button or the Stopwatch button. Record penalty or bonus events for individual cars. 12 Most recent times are captured for subsequent assignment to individual cars (useful when several cars arrive very close together). Times can be updated, reset or reassigned in the event of errors. Export a report that can be sent by email or other messaging service to the overall event coordinator, allowing faster results without the risk of mistakes from handwritten timing reports.
