RaceTec has been designed and developed by myself, Graeme Vincent.
I have 14 years development experience in Delphi, the programming language used
to develop RaceTec, and 12 years of extensive experience in Microsoft SQL
Server, which is the database backend used.
My experience has been in large, mission-critical systems with databases far
larger than RaceTec will ever achieve, and I have used that experience to design
a database that is flexible, powerful and stable.
RaceTec was started in 2004 as a customised system for one of the largest races
in the world (the Comrades Marathon in South Africa), and has evolved in time
from the 'top down'. In other words it was designed to cope with the biggest
races, and has been enhanced to also cope with the smallest races. So it does
not suffer from the effect of being essentially a small system constantly
struggling to cope with bigger and more complex races. |

RaceTec is used by race timing companies to produce results at races like
marathons, fun runs, triathlons, duathlons, ocean swims, MTB stage races, pro
cycling events, etc.
This is its sole focus and the reason it is rapidly growing in success.
Although perfectly suited to professional, full-time race timers, it can be used
by clubs and other small organisations. However there is an initial learning
curve which might not suit organisations which change timing personnel often. |

Not hard at all. It usually requires my close assistance for your first couple
of races and I am more than willing to provide that assistance. Although you
will still be learning new tricks and techniques after a year, you will know
enough after one race to at least be able to do what you need to get results out
fast and accurately. |

- A computer (PC or laptop). There are really no minimum specs other than a
computer that has Windows XP or later installed. The bigger the race you do, the
more I recommend having more powerful PCs.
- Internet access for the installation, and for getting future updates.
- Microsoft SQL Server. If you don't already have this installed, you can download
the Express version for free from the Microsoft web site (approx. 50Mb) and
install it using detailed instructions I will provide.
