Run your RC race day from one app.
RaceLyx is Windows timing software for RC clubs and home tracks. Point it at your decoder, build your heats, and the results show up on every screen in the building. It runs every format you race in the same app, and your drivers get LyxSpotter: their own race, called in their ear.
Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit. Free 21-day trial, no credit card.
LyxSpotter
Every driver gets a voice in their ear
At a track running RaceLyx, each driver picks their car on the live timing, puts a headset on, and LyxSpotter calls their race while they drive: position, lap time, the gaps, and who is catching them.
Just your race
Your position and lap time every lap, the car ahead and the car behind with the gap, and whether it is closing. Not the whole field.
A warning before trouble
A blue flag before the leader laps you, lapped traffic ahead, a car getting by, time left, and the flags.
Free for every driver
Nothing for the track to set up. It runs on the track's live timing in any phone browser, and in the RaceLyx app.
From download to your first heat
Download the installer, point it at your decoder, and start a heat. There's nothing to host and no accounts to wire together.
Download & install
Grab the Windows installer and run it. No runtimes or extra downloads. It’s ready to go in a couple of minutes.
Connect your decoder
Plug in your decoder over USB or serial, or pair a Bluetooth timer. RaceLyx starts scoring transponder passes right away.
Start racing
Build your heat schedule, add drivers, and go. The scoreboard goes live the moment your first transponder crosses.
A race night in RaceLyx
These are the screens the person at the timing table works from.
The whole programme on one screen
Qualifying heats on the clock, mains seeded from the results with bump-ups, and mains that run to a lap count. Stage a heat, run roll call, and start.
The running order, live
Positions, laps, gaps and best laps update as each car crosses the line, with the clock, flags and controls in one card at the top.
Set up the night once
Choose how heats are scored, how many cars run together, how many bump up, and whether mains end on the clock or at a lap count.
What your racers get
Free for every driver at a track running RaceLyx, on their own phone, with nothing to install.
How tracks use it
Everything you touch on race day
Whether it's a Tuesday club night or a two-day regional, the same app handles ten drivers or a full grid without any changes.
Live Timing & Scoring
Positions, lap times, and gaps update the instant each transponder crosses the loop. No refreshing, no waiting for a print-out.
Connects to Your Decoder
Point RaceLyx at your decoder over USB, serial, or Bluetooth and it starts scoring passes. Works with I-Lap, EasyLAP, LapMonitor, SkyRC LapWiz and OpenStint SDR, plus RaceLyx LyxBridge gates.
Scoreboards on Every Screen
The app serves a scoreboard and a full-screen TV page on your network. Open them in any browser, switch to a light theme for a projector, or enlarge them for a TV across the pits.
OBS Overlays
Twelve built-in overlays on transparent backgrounds, or build your own in the Overlay Designer with your fonts, colours and sponsor logos. Paste the link into OBS and go live.
Every Race Format
Qualifying heats and mains with bump-ups, mains on the clock or to a lap count, endurance, multi-leg finals, and rally stages, all in the same app. Walk-up nights get games like Knockout and Don't get lapped.
Automated Announcing
RaceLyx calls positions and laps out loud over your PA, so racers and spectators stay in the loop without you working a mic.
