Information in the race viewer is also controlled by the race organisers - not YB Tracking. For instance, if a race organiser has not provided pictures for the teams, then pictures will not appear in this app or on our web-based viewer. Key features: - See information about the teams in the race - View live leaderboards - Review the map, course and wind info (where available) - Zoom to all teams, leaders, and the course area - Social media feed with news about the race - Replay facility, to allow you to scrub backwards and forwards in time Note: This app requires an internet connection to operate
