streaming
No OBS. No window capture. fpv-race-pits streams straight to YouTube.
try it
A sandbox heat in your browser: stage, arm and start it, watch the laps come in, then marshal a lap. Nothing is saved.
Missed a gate? Add or remove a lap.
Demo only: runs in your browser, sends nothing, saves nothing. Laps run six times faster than real time.
an honest comparison
Many clubs piece race night together from a timer, a plugin that uploads results to a website, and a screen-capture stream. Here's how that compares.
| Feature | Results site + timer plugin | fpv-race-pits |
|---|---|---|
| Running the race | A separate timer app; the website only shows results afterwards | One race director app: heats, channels, brackets, marshalling and safe start calls |
| Live on the web | Results appear when a heat is uploaded | Every lap live on your club site in under a second, and the full archive |
| Streaming | OBS and window capture on the timing laptop | No OBS. No window capture. The app streams straight to YouTube |
| Your website | A page on someone else's site | Your club's own site and installable app, on a subdomain or your own domain |
| Entries and money | Usually a separate form and spreadsheet | Entries, memberships, payments to your Stripe and the books |
| Brackets | Drawn after the fact | Built by the same engine as the app, live and animated, Chase the Ace on any final |
| Race control away from the laptop | No | Run the whole meet from a phone or tablet |
| Goggles | Not included | ELRS/HDZero goggle OSD and channel changes |
| Offline | Needs the internet to upload | Offline-first: races at the field never wait for the internet |
| Cost | Free to a small monthly fee, plus the extra tools | Free forever for the site and live timing; Club from US$8 a month |
Results websites do a good job of what they do. This is about what a club needs on race night.
