RC Report Card

Features
Read full description

RC Report Card grades how you're actually racing: wins, TQs, and consistency across your last 100 races. Getting a race in takes one screenshot. If your club posts results online - LiveRC, MyRCM, anything else - screenshot the page and the app reads it: the full field, finishing positions, laps, times, consistency. It finds you by your driver name. No typing results into a notes app or a spreadsheet. Only have a paper result sheet? Photograph that instead, it works the same way. All the app needs is the results. YOUR REPORT CARD Log your first race and your Report Card unlocks. It shows how you're really driving over your last 100 races: - Wins and TQs, with A-main wins counted separately - A consistency trend chart, so you can see if you're getting smoother - Consistency broken out by session, mains against qualifiers, and by result, wins against losses - Totals: races, laps, minutes, and opponents beaten TROPHIES The trophies are mostly just for fun. Come from the back to win and you get Hold My Drink. Start an A-main last and win it anyway and you're a Sandbagger. Have a lap go really wrong and it's Hey Marshall. Have it go very wrong and it's Worst Pit Stop Ever. Fastest lap, fastest average, and somebody else still took the win? Robbed. There's a milestone ladder too, and it climbs through the materials you upgrade your car with, Steel up to Titanium. RACE DETAILS Open any race for lap-by-lap times with your best lap flagged, where you started versus where you finished, and how your consistency that day compared to your 100-race average. GETTING A RACE IN It's a race log and lap time tracker underneath, and the Results-o-matic is what fills it. Point it at a printed result sheet or a screenshot of your club's online results and it reads the full driver list, finishing positions, laps, times, and consistency. It finds you in the field by your driver name. It works with any scoring system, so it doesn't matter what software your club runs or how their sheets are laid out. If the results and the lap grid are on separate pages, add both photos to the same race. Club race, points series, regional event, it all goes in the same way. WORKS FOR Buggy, truggy, short course, stadium truck, touring car, oval, and anything else your club runs. 1/8, 1/10, 1/12. Electric or nitro. ALREADY ON THE RC SETUP APP? Then Report Card is yours. The app is free, and the paid scan tier is included for as long as you subscribe. Sign in with the same So Dialed account you use for the RC Setup App and it unlocks on its own - nothing to ask for, nothing to set up. FROM SO DIALED Makers of the RC Setup App, RC Pit Calc Pro, and RC AI Mechanic.
