User guide / RaceYear Calendar

For fans

Set your location, find races near you, and follow tracks, drivers and series so every race lands on your phone's calendar.

For fans

Set your location

The location bar on Browse

Setting your location makes everything you see local: nearby races first, distances on every card.

The location bar: set a ZIP and a radius, and every list filters to it.

Set it on Browse

  1. Enter your ZIP code. The app geocodes it to position you on the map.
  2. Choose how to measure reach: by miles (50 / 100 / 200 / Anywhere) or by driving hours (1 / 2 / 3 / Anywhere).
  3. Continue. Every list now respects that radius.
Just want to look? Choose “Skip, just browse everything” to explore without a location. You can set one later from the location bar on Browse.

Change it later

On Browse, the location bar shows your current ZIP and radius. Use Change to update it or Clear to remove the filter.

Event tiles show the date, series, follower count, a Follow button, and a status badge.

Find what you care about

  • Search + day-of-week filter: search all races, and check Sun–Sat to show only the nights you can attend. Save as default remembers your nights.
  • Your Follows: once you follow things, they appear as pills at the top with an Open in calendar link.
  • Racing This Weekend: upcoming events from Friday through Sunday.
  • Popular Near You: the most-followed tracks and drivers in your state.
  • Browse Events: the full, day-filtered list.
  • Track Locator, Driver Schedules, Explore Series: dedicated rails for each, every tile with its own Follow button.

Reading the tiles

Each tile shows the date, the series, and how many people follow it. Two badges can appear in the top-right corner:

🔥 Popular: high interest. 💰 Big Money: purse of $5,000 or more.

If a race is both popular and big-money, the Big Money badge takes priority.

Follow and sync your calendar

Following is the core action. It puts a race calendar on your phone that updates itself.

 
 
 
raceyear.app/track/123
Follow Eldora Speedway
Your calendar stays in sync as races are added, moved, or cancelled.
📅 One-tap subscribe (Apple / Google)
webcal://raceyear.app/…/feed.ics
⬇ Download schedule CSV

The follow panel: one-tap add to your phone's calendar, a copyable iCal URL, and a CSV download.

How to follow

  1. Find a track, driver, series, or single race you want to follow.
  2. Press Follow. If you are not signed in, a quick sign-up prompt appears first. Your follow completes after you sign up.
  3. Your calendar feed link opens. Add it to your phone's calendar: Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook.

What you get

  • A live webcal / iCal feed in your calendar app.
  • It stays in sync. When the track adds, moves, or cancels a race, your calendar updates on its own.
  • Canceled races are flagged, not silently deleted, so you are never surprised.
  • Confirmed races include a day-before reminder.
What can I follow? Tracks, series, individual drivers, and single races. Follow a driver and their whole season flows into your calendar as they confirm it.

From what you follow

Browse → the “From what you follow” section at the top

Everything you follow, in one list of the next 30 days at the top of Browse.
