About

RC Replay

Features
Read full description

RC Replay is a companion for radio-control (RC) car racing. Replay finished heats and follow live timing from myRCM, Everlaps and LiveRC — right on your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Live timing: watch current races update lap by lap — full timing tower (positions, gaps, intervals, best laps) and an animated track map showing the field move around the circuit. - Replay: play back any finished heat — play, pause, change speed, and scrub the timeline. - Browse: dig into an event's rounds and heats (both myRCM and Everlaps). - Search: find past events and clubs to replay. HOW IT WORKS Car positions on the map are illustrative — derived from lap times, not real GPS — so you get a clear, smooth sense of the race even when only lap data is available. Leaderboard order and gaps use the real timing feed. RC Replay is read-only and needs no account. It reads public race timing from myrcm.ch and everlaps.com. It is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with myRCM or Everlaps.
