At Race-Trax we have a mission to turn sailing into a spectator sport, which means you, the spectator, are our most important customer. Race Viewer provides a complete model of the racing LIVE! or post event Replay including Start Sequences, Penalty flags and Race Blog. We aim to make Race-Viewer the tracking tool of choice for the serious sailing enthusiast whether a fan, racer, race officer or offcial.  Our challenge is to provide great functionality and powerful features with ease of use.

There has been a great response from Match Racing fans at Match Race Germany. We have had a large number of Viewers who were invited to provide feedback and our thanks go to everybody who responded. 

As a result of the feedback we have simplified the download and install process, improved zooming and navigation around the screen and fixed some minor bugs. Also some Users, especially in Asia and Australia, have experienced problems logging on LIVE! with Errors SR015 and PN010. This is due to differences in Regional Settings specifically to do with 12 and 24 hour clock settings. The new version fixes these problems and as a temporary fix the problem can be overcome by adjusting your Regional Settings to English (United Kingdom). To do this go to Control Panel then choose Regional Setting.

The new version is available for download now and please keep those comments coming.

Finally a couple of important messages;

IMPORTANT When installing Race Viewer you may get a message saying;
"Error Creating File Access is denied. Would you like to continue"

This means the file already exists and is in use. It is safe to click OK and continue with the installation. The reason this message appears is that some versions of Windows do not have all the file Race Viewer needs so they have to be included. If the file already exists on your system then that is a good thing.

IMPORTANT Race Files are compressed ZIP files and you have to extract them. Once downloaded please chose Extract All Files and when asked which directory to extract file to please enter c:\
