What is Tracktimer?

since I have moved to Stockholm.

the site should look just the same.
081120: Basic versions now at 50 euro, still cheap!
080328: Yesterday Caroline
Landström was lucky enough to be the 100th online customer!
She (or more correctly her father) bought the Basic Motorcycle version
but she will now get a Pro Motorcycle version for free! And it's
not even Christmas! :) Thank you for your order and best of luck
Caroline!
080209: Version 3.0.0.65 was released today! All registered users will be able to update automatically when starting
the old version while connected to Internet. If you have a really
old version this will not work, contact
me directly instead.
071122: Version 3.0.0.64 was released today, lots of small but very nice changes!
070704: Version 3.0.0.61 was released today, the main change is that Tracktimer now works in Vista even if you are
not logged in as Administrator.
070513: At last the new release v3.0.0.60 is ready!
Tracktimer is now available in English, Italian, Spanish, French,
Swedish and partly in Norwegian and German too! Note that the help
files are still only available in English.
070421: Share-It
announces that they now accept payments from PayPal
too! Today I sent out the next release for testing, expect it to
be available in about a week.
070206: I have made a new tutorial where I explain
all parts of Tracktimer without going into too much detail. You
find it at the Download page
or use the direct link here.
061214: Ho, ho! I have a Christmas present, all
basic versions are now only 10 euro + VAT if applicable! Order page
is here.
061206: At last, it's time for a new release: v3.0.0.58!
The big news is that Tracktimer is now translated to French! For
a list of changes look in the help file Welcome to Tracktimer
- What's new?
Try the demo from the download page.
My visit to Valencia was great even though Rossi fell! I got to
meet some important teams and also had a short meeting with Jeremy
Burgess.
061017: New VAT rules for customers within EU,
check the Order page. There is now a way
to chat directly with me using a Meebo
Widget at the Contact page, try
it!
And most important of all: I am leaving for the final round of the
MotoGP at Valencia
in Spain. I have been given the opportunity to show Tracktimer to
Jeremy Burgess, chief engineer for Valentino Rossi! More about this
when I get back!
060504: New official release is v3.0.0.55, now
available as demo version too. For a list of changes look in the
help file Welcome to Tracktimer - What's new?
060216: Since everybody else do it I might as well
try too, have a look at my cafepress shop here.
060125: I just added a brand new forum
for users and those who are interested, please join and let the
ideas flow!
It isn't pretty (my first forum actually) but right now design is
not as important as getting feedback!
051211: Added a mail form on the Contacts
page, now it is easier than ever to contact me! Regarding development
status on Tracktimer I have had some good feedback on order issues
which I will look into.
051204: If you can read this the change to a new
server has been completed.
051121: New
track packs added! Great Britain, Ireland, Wales and South Africa
all thanks to Andy Jamison!
051104: If you downloaded the demo version you
might want to look at some data too to see how it works. In the
download section you can now download
my personal backup from 2004-2005, in Swedish unfortunately...
050718: v3.0 is here! Now in basic versions as
well as Pro versions. Slightly increased prices but also more versions
to choose from. Have a look around and especially look at the tutorials
found at the Download page.
050613: Spam alert! Apparently huge amounts of
spam mails with tracktimer.com as sender and also some junk mail
that ends with The Tracktimer Support Team or The Tough-Technology
Support Team has been sent out the last months. I have of course
nothing to do with this and believe me, I would like to do the same
thing with spammers as you do...
As for the release of v3.0 it is now closer than ever...
050529: I have found a truly fantastic software
called Wink
which I will use a lot to make small instruction videos.
My first try is here,
have a look!
Edit: Actually, this
was my first try, more will come soon!
050522: For your information: All new and registered
customers have access to the latest v3.0 beta of the pro versions.
So if you are waiting for the v3.0 to be released you don't have
to wait anymore!
050510: Added Gold Star Angel Racing and Andy Jamison
to user links.
050419: I am looking for translators from english
to italian, spanish, french and finnish.
In total it is about 1300 sentences/words that need to be translated.
In return you will get a free license of any Pro-version. Contact
me if you are interested.

to use a service called Blogger!

like the new look as much as I do! My regards to RDT

Tracktimer is software to manage racing data.
Not data from datalogging but physical data such as how the vehicle
has been setup in detail and what the weather conditions was like
during a session.
It also handles lap timing, track notes, part wear, maintenance and
order handling.
Most data can be exported to HTML format so you can easily share it
with other team members by copying it to a floppydisk or uploading
it to a web server.
Think of Tracktimer as an extremely useful log book that will help
you get in control and use your past experiences in the best possible
way.
New inventions forces new habits, this is the hardest thing to overcome
for all of us and also the biggest obstacle for all inventors. Now
it's time for you to get a new habit, get in control of your racing
like never before!
Whenever a new release is available or when there are
important news I will send out an E-mail to all subscribers where the
new features and/or fixes are discussed. Also expect some hints and
tips to make you get the most out of Tracktimer.
If you subscribe to my blog
you will get the same information.
If you are into racing you most certainly have notes from practice sessions with lap times and setup notes on them.
Some make their own Excel data sheets with notes but many teams even in higher levels still use paper for this.
It is very difficult to get structure among such notes and without structure it's hard to make good use of them.
This is where Tracktimer excels.
The main idea behind this program is to collect just about everything a race team will ever need into one package.
From the beginning Tracktimer has been developed with the help of experienced
racers and mechanics, special credit goes to the following people:
· Charles Wessman for car setup details
· Fredrik Watz for motorcycle setup details
· Lars Lindberg for sidecar setup details
· Benjamin Ernryd for kart setup details
· Johan Hellström for general timing ideas

Tracktimer is highly specialized software for racing, currently supporting
motorcycles, sidecars, gokarts and automobiles.
Tracktimer needs Windows NT 4.0 (SP5), Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Windows 95 and Windows 98 handles windows resources so badly that
Tracktimer will not run stable. Those operating systems are not recommended.
Languages
Tracktimer is originally in English but has been translated to Italian,
Spanish, French, Swedish and partly to Norwegian and German. Help
file is only available in English.
