Race Charts

The Grand Prix Organizer provides several ways to create heats and run your races: 

The scope runs from the computer-based system to the simple, overhead marker. Depending on your chart requirements, Grand Prix Organizer accommodates what you want to do.

Method #1

The GrandPrix Race Manager™ (GPRM) is a software product available from Lisano Enterprises. 
The Grand Prix Organizer exports racer information directly to the GPRM with a button click. The GPRM interfaces with the popular Grand Prix / Pinewood Derby timers to allow you to record race times during your race. 

 

Method #2 - Requires MS Excel™ and a computer projection system

Export racer information to MS Excel for projection.
By simply designating the race finish order of a heat, the racers move to their next heats.
The system is triple elimination whereby every racer races at least twice, but must loose to at least 3 other cars before being eliminated.
This method produces a true 1st, 2nd, 3rd speed winner.
From 8 to 32 cars per heat can be run.

Method #3 - Requires MS Excel™ and an overhead projector (transparency foils)

Using MS Excel, the Grand Prix Organizer exports racers and car numbers and categories to a spreadsheet which is printed on transparencies for overhead projection.
The race chart is color coded and numbered to allow the chart master to easily move the racers to subsequent heats.
This method accommodates 16 cars per heat.
