Because I dig this series so much, I did a little app for pre-race that shows you what ranks you'll be up against. Eg: FBMW @ Russian Ring Or larger fields (it works with all R2P events): It's generated on the fly according to who's enrolled, but to keep the load trivial on R2P's webserver, ranks might be up to a day out-of-date. It's based on the rolling rank appropriate to the car type, if you haven't got one, it uses half your overall rank. Tell me how the speed is for you. It can take maybe 30 seconds to appear for the person who initially posts the line of code into pre-race (which will probably be me unless someone beats me or it spreads). People viewing it might also get delays (but much shorter) if some ranks are over a day old. It can of course be linked to a button instead if that delay delays images posted further down in pre-race. Like this:

Jonty, your something! That's a super cool app!!! The only negative I can see is it confirms visually why I am enjoing racing less and less - NOBODY TO RACE WITH! All the action is in the 4 to 5 ranks, those guys have all kinds of people to race with. You can't imagine how BORING it is to constantly be all alone for most of the events. OK, gotta go play some ArmA! Plenty of action there!! haha Dan |

Past results have current ranks however, not the ranks at the time of the race. |

Wow, awesome. Thanks so much Jonty, it helps a lot. I've already used this app to post the graphical ranking in my next event. Cheers !! |

This is absolutely FANTASTIC Jonty, super work! I hope to see it on pre-race, race results page, and why not everywhere! I guess I am a visual guy. Bit depressing for a lout like myself, and I guess it's not what my overcompulsive obsession with rank needs but.....really great tool. |

Hey, it even gives away my strategy for the 2.4 hours! Off the back until everyone tries to go 10-wide into Indianapolis, then zip right on by! |

Wow, what a great idea! One question, can it be split by class? eg, in the 2.4 hours I'm only going to be racing 1/4 of the guys on that screen. I need to work on my rank.... |
