RED RaceControl

Read full description

RED RaceControl turns your phone into a real-time GPS tracker for outdoor sport events. IMPORTANT — YOU NEED A REGISTRATION FROM YOUR ORGANIZER RED RaceControl is not a standalone consumer GPS app. It only works if you are registered for an event with an organizer who uses RED RaceControl — you receive a personal registration link or QR code from them. Without that, you cannot complete setup or be tracked for an event. If you downloaded the app without a link, contact your organizer or visit red-racecontrol.com (see below). Whether you're on trails, gravel, dirt or tarmac — enduro, rally, trail running, gravel cycling, motocross or multi-stage adventure events — RED RaceControl gives organizers real-time visibility of participants' positions so safety teams can respond when seconds matter. — Built for real outdoor events — WHAT IT DOES • Real-time GPS tracking during scheduled race events • Automatic start 1 hour before your race begins • Automatic stop 1 hour after maximum race time • Battery-efficient background tracking, even when the screen is off • Reliable transmission across mountains, forests, and remote terrain HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign up with your race organizer 2. Receive a personal registration link (or QR code that opens the same link) 3. Tap the link on your iPhone — RED RaceControl opens automatically 4. Tap "Authenticate" and allow location and notification access 5. Tracking activates automatically when your race is in its scheduled window FOR RACE ORGANIZERS If you run outdoor sport events and want to use RED RaceControl for your participants, all product information, setup guidance, and contact options are on https://red-racecontrol.com — including how to run a test event and how to reach RED-Sports. BUILT FOR OUTDOOR RACING RED RaceControl is built for long days, weak signal, and tough environments: background tracking is optimized for multi-hour events across forests, mountains, deserts, and remote terrain. PRIVACY YOU CONTROL We collect only what's needed for live event monitoring: GPS coordinates, timestamps, and battery status. Tracking runs only in your registered event window. You can disable Auto-Start Tracking at any time. Data is encrypted in transit and stored on EU servers. Details: https://red-racecontrol.com/tracking-privacy REQUIREMENTS • Registration with an organizer who uses RED RaceControl (registration link or QR code) • Location services enabled (Always — required for background tracking during the event) • Internet connection (cellular recommended for live transmission) ABOUT RED-SPORTS RED RaceControl is built by RED-Sports — event management and race development in Austria.
