5. How many racers can Trackside hold?

The Trackside database will hold an unlimited amount of racers.  As you continue to use Trackside, you will just add more racers to your database without needing to delete other racers.  However, once you have more than 10,000  racers in your database, performance will be dependent on the power of your PC.

The Trackside screens that you see on our web site are just an example.  Each promoter will enter his own names for the classes he offers.  A new class can  quickly be added to the list at anytime.  In addition, the user will add the motorcycle brand names and series names.  The same list will be used by all events created in Trackside.
