About

The Motor Racing Legends app streamlines the historic motorsport experience. Enter races, manage entries and stay abreast of race weekend updates in one place. The app is also the perfect portal to the Motor Racing Legends Club, home to discounts on entry fees, supplier exclusives and members-only test days. Instead of filling dozens of entry forms across a season, entrants need only add their details once. With their car or cars populated in the garage and their personal information securely in the app's vault, multiple events can be entered with a few taps. Not only does this reduce the time and complexity of the entry process, it will provide an up-to-date and accurate resource for consistency across entry lists, written copy and race day commentary. We look forward to welcoming you to a century of motorsport with Motor Racing Legends.

RaceNode keeps your racing season in your pocket. Freelance engineer, mechanic, driver coach — every race weekend you work, in one app, with your own days planned around them. Free for individuals. YOUR SEASON AT A GLANCE. Every event you're part of, with dates, venues and countdowns — across every team you work for, from one account. YOUR RACE WEEKEND, MINUTE BY MINUTE. The timetable and your team's schedule, where you need to be and when, the hotel, the meals — the answers everyone asks on a race weekend. YOUR OWN PLANNING. Workshop days, travel, time off: your personal schedule lives next to your race calendar — and the teams you work for see only the dates, never the reasons. WORKS AT THE TRACK. Paddocks have bad network; RaceNode doesn't care. The app starts instantly, and your events, schedule and travel stay readable even offline. WHEN YOUR TEAM RUNS RACENODE, everything connects: crew assignments, racecars and trucks, travel and accommodation, timetables and season planning — one workspace for the whole team. Ask your team manager, or visit racenode.com. Built in the paddock by a former GT3 team manager. Made in Europe, GDPR-compliant, data hosted in the EU.
