It features: * Race session management with planned start/end times * Multiple driver tracking with editable planned lap times * Driver switch tracking with manual second-accurate time corrections * Queue-based change prognosis with quick edit controls * Dark theme optimized for outdoor/night use * Public read-only live dashboard for blog readers * Real-time statistics, rolling averages, and race-end buffer forecast * CSV export after a race has ended ### Public Dashboard The plugin creates a public read-only dashboard page for blog readers: ``` https://example.com/dgd-race-tracker-live/ ``` The page uses the `[dgd_race_tracker_public]` shortcode and is created automatically on plugin activation. Readers can view the live race dashboard there, but editing remains limited to WordPress admins. ### Quick Start 1. **Create a Race**: Enter race name, start/cutoff time, first-lap offset, target offset, and driver names. 2. **Review the Queue**: The forecast shows upcoming stints and can be adjusted quickly with the `-` buttons. 3. **Start or Correct the Race Start**: Before the first switch, the correction field adjusts the race start. 4. **Switch Drivers / Next Lap**: Use the main action button to log a driver change or another lap for the same driver. 5. **Track the Forecast**: Watch current/next driver, change countdown, queue, driver stats, and race-end buffer. ### Features * **Night-Proof UI**: Dark theme with high contrast for outdoor visibility * **Queue Prognosis**: Forecasts future driver changes through the race cutoff * **Quick Queue Editing**: Remove upcoming stints directly from the forecast * **Manual Time Corrections**: Correct race start or driver switch times to the second * **Multi-Driver Support**: Track unlimited drivers per race * **Driver Statistics**: Completed laps, remaining projected laps, rolling 3-lap average, and next ride countdown * **Public Dashboard**: Read-only live view for blog readers * **Race Export**: CSV export after the race is ended * **Responsive Design**: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices ### Technical Details The plugin creates the following database tables: – `wp_rar_race_sessions`: Race events – `wp_rar_drivers`: Driver information – `wp_rar_lap_times`: Individual lap records – `wp_rar_driver_rotations`: Driver switch history ### Requirements * WordPress 5.0+ * PHP 7.4+ * MySQL 5.6+ ### Future Enhancements Most originally planned race-management features are now implemented: queue prognosis, first-lap offset, target offset, public dashboard, quick queue editing, dark mode, and export. Possible future additions: * [ ] Offline/PWA support for unreliable network conditions * [ ] More export formats if needed * [ ] Dedicated mobile app integration ### Support For issues or feature requests, contact the plugin author. ## Installation 1. Download the plugin ZIP file. 2. In WordPress, open Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin. 3. Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin panel 4. Navigate to “DGD Race Tracker” in the admin menu 5. Create a new race and start tracking! ## FAQ ### Q: Can I modify the lap time after recording? A: Lap timing is inferred from driver switches. You can correct race start and switch times to the second. ### Q: Can multiple people use this simultaneously? A: Yes, the AJAX interface supports concurrent usage on a local network. ### Q: Is my data secure? A: Editing requires an administrator account and nonce verification. The newest race and its driver data are intentionally visible on the public dashboard. ### Q: Can I export the race data? A: Yes. End the race and use the CSV export in the admin dashboard. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “DGD Race Tracker” is open source software.
