Getting Started

Welcome to RacePrep

Where in the app: Splash screen and Product Tour

RacePrep is the maintenance tracker for a race car. Every part on the car is counting laps, and RacePrep keeps the count for you so you know what is due before you load the trailer.

What RacePrep tracks

• Part life by laps. The Dashboard holds a card for each thing you want to watch, with the laps it has run and the interval you set. A coloured bar turns from green to orange to red as an item comes due.
• A weekly inspection. The Inspection tab is a checklist grouped by area of the car. Anyone on the crew can tick an item off, and their photo appears on the row.
• Jobs to do. The Task List collects what needs doing now and what is coming up soon.
• What to buy. The Shopping tab is one list for the whole team, and Parts is your inventory of parts and supplies.
• Race history. Laps you log after a race night roll into every maintenance item at once, and the history keeps the record.
• Your crew. A team can hold several cars and as many crew members as you like.

Who uses it

• The team owner, the person who bought the subscription or started the trial, can manage the team, the crew and the cars.
• Crew members are invited by the owner. They see the same dashboard, inspection, tasks, shopping list and parts, and they do not pay anything.
• The person who owns the team is the one whose account the team belongs to. Everyone else sees a short message on Manage My Race Team telling them who the owner is.

The Product Tour

The tour opens by itself the first time you register, and you can replay it later from the side menu. It is nine full-screen pages, always in the dark theme.

1. The RacePrep logo and the line "100% prepared, 100% of the time".
2. Customize Maintenance: choose your race class so RacePrep can load a starting set of maintenance items.
3. Track Maintenance: keep track of usage on any part.
4. Weekly Inspection: make sure you are ready before you leave the garage.
5. Manage Tasks: every task in one place.
6. Parts and Supplies: keep the trailer stocked.
7. Shopping List: share a team shopping list.
8. Invite your crew: add your whole team.
9. Get Started!: choose Start Demo or Start Free Trial.

• Tap Next at the top right to move on, or Skip at the top left to jump straight to the last page. Both disappear on the last page.
• You can also swipe sideways between pages. The dots at the bottom show where you are.
• The play button near the top of the last page opens the RacePrep tutorial videos on YouTube.
• Start Demo takes you into the sample team. Start Free Trial opens the subscriptions screen, called My Subscriptions in the side menu. Its title reads Start Free or Go Pro while a trial is on offer.

Create an account & sign in

Where in the app: Welcome screen, sign-in and register forms

Your account is what carries your team, your cars and their history. Sign in on any phone and everything is there.

The welcome screen

The app opens on a short animation, then either the welcome screen or your dashboard if you are already signed in. The welcome screen reads "Run your race team like a pro." and offers, in this order:

1. Sign in with Google.
2. Sign in with Apple, on iPhone, iPad and Mac only. The button is not shown on Android.
3. Other login methods, a small orange link. Tap it and the link is replaced by two more buttons, separated by an OR divider.
4. Sign in with email.
5. Register with Email.

Under the buttons is the line "By creating an account, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy". Both open in your browser.

Register with an email address

1. Tap Register with Email.
2. Fill in Your Name, Email and a Password. The password must be at least 6 characters. Tap the eye icon to check what you typed.
3. Enter an Invite code if someone gave you one. Otherwise leave it blank. The helper text beside the field reads "Enter your invite code or leave it blank."
4. Tick the box beside "I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions".
5. Tap Create Account.

Validation only runs when you tap the button. You may see "Please enter your Name", "Please enter a valid Email address", "Please Enter Password", "Minimum password length is 6" or "You need to accept the terms".

If the account cannot be created you get a Registration failed dialog with the reason from the server. When the address already has an account the dialog button reads Login with email and takes you back to the sign-in form with the fields cleared.

After a successful registration the Product Tour opens.

Sign in

1. Tap Sign in with email.
2. Enter your E-mail and Password.
3. Tap Log In.

A wrong address or password gives a Login failed dialog with the reason. If the app could not reach the server at all the dialog reads "Error logging in".

Sign in with Google or Apple

• Tap Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple and complete the sheet your phone shows.
• If you back out of the sheet nothing happens and you stay on the welcome screen.
• A problem on the RacePrep side gives a Google Sign In failed or Apple Sign In failed dialog with the reason.
• On a device where Apple sign-in is not set up you get Not Available with the text "Sign in with Apple is not available on this device."
• Signing out of RacePrep does not sign you out of your Google account on the device.

Forgot your password

1. On the sign-in form tap Forgot Password?
2. Enter the email address of your RacePrep account and tap Request password reset.
3. A Password reset has been sent dialog confirms it. Tap OK and follow the email.

An address the server does not know gives Password reset failed. Back to login returns you to the welcome screen, so tap Other login methods again to get back to the email form.

Verify your email

Some parts of the app wait until your email address is confirmed. My Subscriptions and Refer Friends show "To continue, you need to verify your email" with a Send Again button instead of their normal contents.

• Tap Send Again and the app confirms with "Email sent".
• Open the link in the email. The screen re-checks every 20 seconds and swaps to the real page on its own.

Staying signed in and signing out

• The app remembers you. The next time you open it you go straight to the dashboard after the animation.
• Sign Out sits at the bottom of the side menu. There is no confirmation, and you land back on the welcome screen. Your data stays on the server.

Navigating the app

Where in the app: Bottom bar, side menu and the controls you meet everywhere

RacePrep has five tabs along the bottom, a side menu behind the hamburger button, and a car picker on the screens that are about one car.

The bottom bar

• A red badge on a tab is a count sent by your account. It always describes the car you are on, or every car when you are in View All on the Task List.
• Tapping a tab replaces the screen you are on, so there is no back arrow between tabs. The app-bar button on the left is always the side menu.
• Tapping the tab you are already on reloads that screen.

The side menu

Open it with the hamburger button at the top left. From top to bottom:

• The RacePrep logo and, beside it, a "brought to you by" panel. That panel shows your sponsor's logo when your account has one, otherwise the RaceYear apps banner.
• Select Race Team, a dropdown listing every team you belong to. Picking a different team closes the menu and reloads the dashboard for that team.
• On the demo team, if you do not own a team yet, a button reading Get free Trial or Create my own team.
• Manage Race Cars
• Manage My Race Team
• Race History
• A panel headed "Other Apps by RaceYear" promoting RaceTrips with a Download button.
• My Subscriptions
• Join a race team
• Refer Friends
• Product Tour
• User Guide, which opens this guide.
• Tutorial Video, which opens the RacePrep playlist on YouTube.
• Help and Freedback [sic], which opens the RacePrep help page.
• My Profile
• Sign Out
• At the bottom, a brightness button and the version line, for example "Version v2.0.08 - Production".

The last three of those web links are marked with a small arrow icon. User Guide and Help and Freedback open inside the app with back, forward and reload buttons in the title bar. Tutorial Video hands over to YouTube and leaves the menu open behind it.

Picking a car

• The Dashboard and Inspection show a photo carousel. Swipe sideways to move to another car. Everything under it reloads for the car you land on.
• Tap the car name, or the pencil beside it, to open that car's details.
• The Task List has two tabs above the carousel, View by Car and View All. View All hides the carousel and lists the jobs for every car in the team.
• If your team has no cars yet the carousel is replaced by the words "No car found".
• A car of type garage is a place to park parts you are not running. It appears on the dashboard carousel and tapping its name offers use Camera or use Gallery to give it a picture.

Controls you meet everywhere

• Pull down to refresh works on the dashboard, inspection, task list, shopping list and parts.
• A thin progress line under the title bar means the app is talking to the server, usually while a photo uploads.
• Confirm dialogs always name what they are about, with the safe choice on the left and the action on the right.
• Messages appear as a bar near the bottom of the screen for about three seconds.
• The brightness button in the side menu footer switches between the dark and light themes and remembers your choice.
• Text follows your phone's text size setting up to a small limit, so the layout stays intact.

When you are offline

• A pill reading "No internet connection" and "Please check your network and try again." slides up from the bottom of any screen while you have no connection. It goes away by itself.
• If a request fails because of the connection you also get a No Internet Connection Available dialog with a single OK.

Demo mode, free trial and subscriptions

Where in the app: Dashboard banner, side menu and My Subscriptions

RacePrep gives you a sample team to play with, a free trial to run your own car, and a paid subscription after that. Crew members you invite never pay.

The demo team

• A new account starts on a demo team with sample cars, so you can look around before you commit.
• The dashboard shows a banner reading "You are in DEMO MODE" with Start a Trial or Buy a Subscription on the right. Tapping the banner opens My Subscriptions.
• Coming into the demo from the Product Tour shows the dialog Welcome to the demo! once. It explains that you can test everything and that "this demo data resets daily", and the button reads Explore Demo.
• Manage My Race Team and My Subscriptions are greyed out in the side menu while you are on the demo team. Use the Get free Trial or Create my own team button at the top of the menu instead.

Starting the free trial

1. Open My Subscriptions from the side menu, the dashboard banner, or Start Free Trial on the last page of the Product Tour.
2. If your email address is not verified yet the page shows "To continue, you need to verify your email". Tap Send Again, open the link in the email, then pull down to refresh.
3. On the Free Trial tab, tap Start a free trial.
4. The dialog Your 30-Day Free Trial Starts Now! appears. Tap Start My Trial.
5. Manage Race Cars flashes past and the app leaves you on the Dashboard. Open Manage Race Cars from the side menu to set up your own car.

The trial gives you your own team, so you can add a car, build your maintenance program and invite your crew. The app's own wording calls it a 30 day trial. The exact length is set by your account.

While the trial runs

• The dashboard banner reads "This is a TRIAL VERSION" with Buy a Subscription beside it.
• My Subscriptions lists the trial under "RacePrep Trials & Subscriptions" with a green badge counting the days left.

Buying a subscription

1. Open My Subscriptions.
2. Pick the Yearly (save 30%) or Monthly tab and read the plan.
3. Tap the buy button on the plan and complete the App Store or Google Play sheet.
4. When the purchase comes back, the dialog Welcome to your Full Subscription! appears. Tap View Dashboard and the app opens Manage Race Cars.

• Prices and plan names come from your account and are shown in US dollars. The App Store or Google Play sheet shows the amount you will actually be charged.
• If a plan cannot be sold in your region the card reads "This plan is not available at this moment." with a link to contact CrewChief@raceprep.app.
• Restore Purchases at the bottom of the page brings back a subscription you already paid for, for example on a new phone.
• Cancelling or changing a subscription is done in your App Store or Google Play account, not in RacePrep.

When the trial or subscription ends

The dashboard, inspection, task list and shopping list are covered by a card reading Subscription Required, with your data still visible behind it. The card explains that your data is safe and offers Buy Subscription. The Parts tab, Race History and Manage Race Cars stay open.

Track Maintenance

The Dashboard

Where in the app: Dashboard tab

The Dashboard is one card for every part or job you want to watch on the car you are on, with the count it has run and how close it is to being due.

Reading a card

• The name of the item is on the left. On the right is the limit you set for it, for example "100 laps".
• Under the name is your note for that item, if you wrote one.
• The bar underneath fills as the count climbs toward the limit. The number in the marker on the bar is the actual count.

• A card that is past its limit shows a full red bar with the real number in the marker, so 250 laps on a 100 lap limit still reads 250.
• Cards appear in the order your account sends them. There is no sort control.

The header row

• Update All Laps opens the screen where you log a race night. The word changes with the unit the car uses, so it may read Update All Hours or Update All Miles.
• The magnifying glass opens a search field labelled Search Dashboard Cards. The team banner and the car photos slide out of the way while you search.
• The gear opens the configurator, where you choose what this car tracks.
• On the garage the row is different. There is no update button. The row shows the word "Dashboard", the magnifying glass and a plus icon for adding an item to the garage.

Moving and deleting a card

Swipe a card to the left to reveal three actions.

• Edit opens the same screen as tapping the card.
• Move opens Move Item, a list of the other cars and the garage. Tapping a car moves the item at once with no confirmation. Tapping the garage asks first, with the dialog "You're moving item to the Garage" and the buttons Cancel and Move to Garage.
• Delete asks "Are you sure?" and explains that deleting removes the item and its data for good. The buttons are Cancel and Delete Task.

Empty and locked states

• A car with nothing configured shows a wrench icon and "This car is not yet configured for maintenance", with Configure now.
• A team with no cars shows "No car found" where the photos would be.
• If your trial or subscription has ended the whole dashboard is dimmed behind a Subscription Required card.

Set up what you track

Where in the app: Dashboard, gear icon

The configurator is where you switch on the items this car should track, clone them from another car, or write your own.

Open it

1. On the Dashboard, tap the gear at the right of the header row.
2. The screen Configure Dashboard cards opens with the car photo at the top.

You can also get here from Configure now on a car that has nothing set up yet.

Turn items on

Under the heading "Racers like you track some of the following items:" is a list your account suggests for this car.

1. Flip the switch beside an item to turn it on.
2. The edit screen opens straight away so you can fill in the numbers for it.
3. Fill in the count that is already on the item and the two thresholds, then tap the orange check to save.

• A switched-on item shows three lines underneath: the current count, the Maintenance Threshold and the Notification Threshold. The current count is highlighted while it is still zero.
• Edit beside an item reopens those numbers.
• Flipping a switch off takes the item off the dashboard. That change is saved when you leave the screen.

Write your own item

1. Tap Create Custom Dashboard Card.
2. Leave Include in Dashboard on if you want it to appear straight away.
3. Fill in Item name, the count already on the item, both thresholds and any Notes.
4. Tap the orange check to save, or the plus to save and start another one.

Copy a car you already set up

1. Tap Clone From Existing Car.
2. Pick the car in Clone From Car and tap Clone.

The dialog warns you first: cloning deletes the current cards on this car, replaces them with the ones from the car you pick, and sets every count back to zero.

The numbers you set

Both thresholds must be a number greater than zero, or you see "Enter a number greater than zero".

Service an item and reset its laps

Where in the app: Dashboard, tap a card

When you service a part, open its card, set the count back to zero and save. The card goes green again and the history keeps the record.

Open the card

Tap the card on the Dashboard, or swipe it left and tap Edit. The title bar reads "Edit" followed by the item name.

What is on the screen

1. The car photo and name.
2. Total Laps, a large number box on the right with the words "Enter or change the total # of laps" beside it. The unit follows the car.
3. Reset to Zero, a full width button.
4. Item name.
5. Laps Maintenance Threshold with the note that it is the number of laps before the job is added to "Action Now".
6. Laps Notification Threshold with the note that it is the number of laps before the job is added to "To Do Soon".
7. Notes, up to a few lines.
8. History, with an Email this item button.

Every field except the Total Laps box has a small cross at the right that clears it.

Record the service

1. Tap Reset to Zero.
2. The dialog Maintenance complete? explains "Reset lap counter when you perform maintenance or replace the item. Resetting can't be undone."
3. Tap Reset to Zero to accept, or Cancel to keep the count.
4. Tap the orange check in the title bar to save.

Correct a count by hand

Type the new figure into the Total Laps box and save. Use this when you logged a race night twice or forgot one. The box must hold a number. An empty or non-numeric entry gives "Enter amount" when you save.

Replace a part

There is no separate replace button. Two things work well:

• Service the item and reset it to zero when the new part goes on, so the count starts again.
• Or swipe the old item to the garage first, which parks it with its count intact, then set up the replacement on the car.

The history

• Under History each line shows the date, the track or series, what changed and the running total.
• Email this item sends a summary of the item to you. The app confirms with a Task Summary message.
• History lines cannot be edited or deleted.

Saving and leaving

• The orange check saves. You see "Updated" and the name at the bottom of the screen.
• Leaving with unsaved changes asks "Unsaved changes" with Discard changes and Save.
• Leaving with a mistake on the form asks "Are you sure?" and explains there are errors shown in red. Continue editing goes back to the form, Discard leaves without saving.

Delete an item

Swipe the card on the Dashboard and tap Delete, then Delete Task. The dialog suggests two safer options first: move the item to the garage to keep its data, or edit it and reset the laps to zero.

Weekly Inspection

Run the weekly inspection

Where in the app: Inspection tab on the bottom bar

The Weekly Inspection is the checklist you walk through before a race weekend: everything you want to look at on one car, grouped by the part of the car it belongs to.

Pick the car

• The photo carousel at the top holds your team's race cars, without the garage. Swipe sideways to another car and the checklist below reloads for it. The dots show how many cars there are and which one you are on.
• Tap the car name or the pencil beside it to open Race Car Details for that car.

Work through the list

Each section is one car area, for example "Body and Chassis". Sections and items come in the order your account sends them.

1. Tap a section title to open or close it. A section where every item is already ticked starts closed. The rest start open.
2. Tap anywhere on a row to check the item off. The name gets a line through it and your profile picture appears at the left of the row.
3. Tap the row again to uncheck it.
4. Tap the circle to the left of a section title to tick off the whole area at once, and again to clear it.

• The circle beside a section title is a filled orange check once the whole area is done, and hollow while anything is still open.
• The picture at the left of a row is the crew member who ticked it. There is no name and no time stamp.
• Anyone on the team can check or uncheck any item, including one somebody else completed. Crew members and the team owner see the same screen.
• The bolt at the right of a row opens a screen titled with the item's own name, asking "What do you need to Order, Replace or Repair". It holds two cards, "Add maintenance Task(s)" and "Add Items(s) to Shopping List", where you note parts to order, replace or repair. It is orange when the item already has something attached and grey when it does not.

Progress and the badge

There is no "x of y" counter. You read progress from the struck-through rows and the filled circles beside the section titles. The red badge on the Inspection tab comes from your account, always describes the car you are on, and refreshes every time you tick something and every time the list loads.

Reset for the next week

1. Tap the circular arrow in the title bar. Its tooltip reads "Clear Completed Tasks".
2. The dialog "Reset checklist" opens: "Reset will uncheck all weekly checklist tasks. We recommend doing this only after your Race Trip is complete. This cannot be undone."
3. Tap Reset tasks to clear every tick on this car, or Cancel to keep them.

The dialog stays open while the reset runs and closes itself once the list has reloaded, so give it a moment. Cloning tasks from another car clears the ticks too.

Reloading and empty states

• Pull down to reload the cars and the checklist. The spinner disappears while the data is still on its way, so give it a second and pull again if nothing changed.
• If the round spinner in the middle of the screen keeps turning, leave the tab and open it again.
• A car with nothing configured shows a wrench icon, the text "This car is not yet configured for maintenance" and a Configure now button that opens the Weekly Checklist Library.
• Other problems print as a line of plain text where the list would be, for example "Something went wrong. No Internet?".

If your team is blocked

The list is dimmed behind a card titled "Subscription Required" that reads either "Your Trial has ended." or "Your Subscription has been canceled.", plus a line saying your data is safe but you cannot continue without buying a subscription. Buy Subscription opens My Subscriptions. The title-bar buttons, the side menu and the bottom bar still work.

Choose your inspection items

Where in the app: Weekly Inspection, gear icon, Weekly Checklist Library

The Weekly Checklist Library decides which items appear on one car's inspection. Switch on the ones you want, add your own, or copy a whole set from another car.

Open the library

Tap the gear in the Weekly Inspection title bar (tooltip "Configure"), or Configure now in the empty state. The photo at the top is the car you were on in the checklist and you cannot change it here. To configure another car, go back, swipe the carousel to it, then open the gear again.

Turn items on and off

1. Each section is a car area, and every section starts open.
2. Tap the switch at the right of a row to put that item on the checklist, or to take it off. Tap the switch itself, because tapping the task name does nothing.
3. Leave with the back arrow. Your switches are sent then.

• There is no Save button and no message when the save finishes or fails. Reopen the library afterwards to confirm your switches stuck, especially on a poor connection.
• You cannot reorder the items. The order comes from your account.
• You cannot rename or delete a library item. Switch off what you do not want.

Create a custom task

Tap Create Custom Task in the library header. The form is titled "Create Custom Task" and reads "This task will be added to your Weekly Checklist". Fill it in from top to bottom.

1. Task. The name that appears on the checklist. It is required and holds up to 512 characters, with a counter under the field. Blank shows "Enter a name" when you save.
2. Category. A dropdown of car areas, helper text "Select a Category from the list". It sets the section the item lands in. Nothing is selected to start with, and leaving it empty shows "Select a category".
3. Add custom task to. One row per race car, each with the car photo, the race type and the car name in larger text beneath it, and a tick box. Every car is ticked to begin with. The car you came from is ticked and greyed out, so the task always goes on it. Untick the cars you do not want.

Then save:

• Save (the check icon) stores the task, shows a "Created" message with the task name, and returns you to the Weekly Inspection checklist rather than the library.
• Save & New (the plus icon) stores the task and clears the form for the next one. The name is emptied and the category has to be picked again. The car tick boxes stay as you left them.

The circle with a cross at the end of the Task field is decoration, not a clear button. Empty the field by hand if you want to start over.

Leaving the form

• With errors on the form you get "Errors exist" and "There are errors on the form (shown in Red)." Choose Continue editing to stay or Discard to leave without saving. Save & New shows the same title with "Can't save because there are errors on the form (shown in Red)." and only a Continue editing button.
• Backing out of a form you never typed in counts as an error, because the name is empty. You get "Are you sure?" and the same red-errors text. Tap Discard to leave.
• With a valid form and unsaved edits you get "Unsaved changes" and "Do you want to save or discard modifications." Choose Save or Discard changes.

Copy the items from another car

1. Tap Clone From Existing Car in the library header.
2. The dialog "Clone Inspection Tasks From Existing Car" explains: "You are going to delete all current Weekly Inspection tasks from this car and replace them with all Weekly Inspection tasks from an existing car in this race class. This will reset all Weekly Inspection cards."
3. Pick a car under Clone From Car. The dropdown only offers cars counted in the same units as this one, so a car counted in laps can only be cloned from another car counted in laps.
4. Tap Clone, or Dismiss to back out.

The dialog closes once the copy is finished and the library reloads with the new items. Nothing on screen shows progress while it runs, so wait for it instead of tapping again.

With no matching car you get "Error: No Cars Available to Clone" and an explanation that cloning is only possible when both cars use the same counting units (laps, hours, races, runs, miles, km). Tap OK.

The other way in

Race Car Details has an Inspection tab with the same switch list and the same clone button, reached by tapping a car name or pencil under the carousel. It adds the heading "Configure your Weekly Inspection" and the note "Racers like you often add these tasks to their weekly inspection. You can change these at any time or add custom tasks from the Weekly Inspection settings." Finish with Save and Close. With too few Dashboard items enabled you get "Please select Dashboard items" and "Please enable and configure at least 5 Dashboard items to build a car." and land on the Dashboard tab instead.

Tasks & Lists

Task List

Where in the app: Task List tab

The Task List is the jobs waiting on the car, split into what needs doing now and what is coming up soon.

Reading the screen

• Tabs at the top switch between View by Car and View All. View by Car shows the car in the photo strip. View All hides the strip and groups the jobs under each car.
• Action Now is the first block. To Do Soon follows.
• Which block a job lands in is decided by your account, from the thresholds you set on the dashboard cards.
• The garage is not shown in the photo strip, and it is not offered when you add a job.

Each row is a circle and the name of the job. A job someone has done shows a line through the name and the photo of the crew member who ticked it, in place of the circle.

Ticking jobs off

1. Tap anywhere on the row to tick it.
2. Tap it again to untick it.

• Anyone on the team can tick or untick any job.
• Ticked jobs stay in the list until you clear them.
• The broom in the title bar wakes up as soon as something is ticked. Its tooltip reads "Clear Completed Tasks".

Clearing what you finished

1. Tap the broom in the title bar.
2. The dialog Completed tasks. explains "Clears all completed items and resets lap counts. This cannot be undone."
3. Tap Clear items to clear them, or Cancel to leave them.

If you try to leave the tab while jobs are ticked you get the same dialog with a different message, "You have completed tasks that will be cleared and reset to zero on the dashboard", and the buttons Do it later and Clear items. Do it later leaves the screen and keeps the ticks.

Adding a job

1. Tap the orange plus beside Action Now.
2. The screen Create Maintenance Task opens with the line "This task will be added to your Maintenance Tasklist" [sic].
3. Type a Task name. It is required, and an empty name shows "Enter a name".
4. Under Add task to, tick the cars this job applies to. Coming from View by Car the current car is already ticked. Coming from View All every car is ticked.
5. Tap the orange check to save, or the plus to save and start another.

• The message "Created" with the name confirms the save.
• There is no priority, due date, assignee or note. A job is a name and the cars it belongs to.

What you cannot do here

• Jobs cannot be edited or deleted once created. Tick and clear them instead.
• There is no search, sort or done filter.

Shopping list

Where in the app: Shopping tab

One list for the whole team of what needs buying, with a quantity against each line and a shortcut to the supplier.

Adding an item

1. Tap Search for or add a new item at the top.
2. Type what you are after. Matches from your parts library appear as you type.
3. To add one of them, tap the cart icon on its row.
4. To add something that is not in the library, tap the plus on the first row, which reads "Add" followed by what you typed.
5. Set the quantity in the dialog Adding "..." to Shopping List with the up and down arrows, then tap Add to Shopping List.

• The quantity starts at 1 and cannot go below 1. It is stepped with the arrows, not typed.
• Adding an existing part confirms with the part name and "Added to your shopping list".
• A brand new item is added under its name only. Give it a supplier and a link later by adding it to Parts instead.

Working the list

• Items are grouped by supplier, with the supplier name as the heading. Anything without a supplier sits at the top with no heading.
• The box on the left of each row is the quantity. Type over it and the app saves it a moment later on its own. It takes up to 5 digits.
• Tap anywhere else on the row to cross the item off. Tap it again to bring it back.
• Shop opens the supplier page in your browser. It shows only on rows that have a link and are not crossed off, so use it before you cross the row off.
• Crossed-off rows stay on the list, struck through, with the quantity locked, until you clear them.

Clearing what you bought

1. Tap the broom in the title bar. Its tooltip reads "Clear Shopping List".
2. The dialog Clear Shopping List explains "Clears all items from the list that are crossed off."
3. Tap Clear Shopping List to clear them, or Cancel.

Featured Catalogs

If your account has any, a Featured Catalogs block appears under the list. Tapping a catalog opens the supplier's site in your browser.

Parts and Supplies

Where in the app: Parts tab

Parts is your library of the things you fit and use, with part numbers, suppliers and links, so the shopping list can be filled in two taps.

Finding a part

• Search for an item at the top searches your library. Matching happens on the server as you type, after a short pause.
• The cross at the right of the field clears the search, but only while the field has the keyboard. Otherwise select the text and delete it.
• Parts are grouped in the categories your account provides. Every group starts open.

A part row

• The star on the left marks a favourite. It is yours alone, not the team's.
• The name is next, with a grey line under it built from the manufacturer, part number, supplier, SKU and your notes.
• Add on the right puts the part on the shopping list. Set the quantity in the dialog and tap Add to Shopping List.
• Tapping the row opens the part for editing. Swiping it left offers Edit and Delete.

Adding a part

1. Tap the plus in the title bar. Its tooltip reads "Add Item to the list".
2. The screen Add New Part opens with the line "Create an item for your Shopping List Library."
3. Fill in the fields, in this order:

1. Tap the orange check to save, or the plus to save and start another.

The app confirms with "Created and added to the Shopping List" when the box was ticked, and "Created" when it was not.

Editing a part

Tap the row, change what you need and tap the orange check. The app confirms with "Updated".

Leaving with unsaved changes asks Unsaved changes, with Discard changes and Save. Leaving with an error on the form asks "Are you sure?" with Continue editing and Discard.

Deleting a part

Swipe the row left, tap Delete, then Ok on Delete Part from Library. There is no undo.

Laps & Race History

Log laps after a race

Where in the app: Dashboard, Update All Laps

Adding laps is how a race night gets into RacePrep. One entry raises the count on every dashboard card of the car you raced and writes a line into Race History.

Open the form

1. Open the Dashboard tab and swipe the car carousel to the car you raced.
2. Tap Update All Laps. The button carries that car's unit, so on other cars it reads Update All Hours, Update All Miles, Update All Races, Update All Runs or Update All Km.
3. The Update Laps screen opens with the car photo and name at the top.

• Laps go to the car showing in the carousel, so switch cars first to log a different one.
• The Garage cannot take laps. While it is selected the button is replaced by the plain word "Dashboard".
• If the team's subscription has ended, the dashboard sits behind the Subscription Required panel and the button cannot be reached. Tap Buy Subscription first.
• Crew members see the same button and the same form as the team owner.

Fill in the form

Four inputs and a button, in this order.

• Add Laps heading, with the line "This increases the Laps count on each card in this car. This can't be undone."
• Amount. The large box on the right. It has no label; the small line under it is your unit ("Laps", "Hours" and so on). Up to 10 characters. Leave it empty, or type something that is not a number, and you see "Enter amount". Type whole numbers: the field also accepts a decimal point or a minus sign, and your device opens the normal text keyboard rather than a number pad.
• Race Date. Read only, and empty every time, so pick a date on every entry. Tap it to open the calendar. Any day from 1 January 2020 up to today can be picked, and future dates cannot. Tapping a day selects it and closes the calendar, and Cancel leaves the field as it was. Skip it and you see "Please Enter Date". Helper line: "Race Date is added to history".
• Race Track/Series. Free text, up to 512 characters, helper line "Race Track/Series is added to history". Skip it and you see "Please enter a track or series name". The small X at the end of the field is decoration only, so select the text and delete it yourself to change it.
• Reset Weekly Checklist. A checkbox, ticked by default. Untick it to leave the weekly checklist alone.

Save

1. Tap Update Laps at the bottom.
2. Wait. The form stays on screen with no spinner while the server works, so do not tap it twice.
3. RacePrep sometimes asks you to confirm. A dialog titled "Are you sure?" appears with a message from the server. Yes, Continue saves the entry, No, Ignore this change saves nothing, and tapping outside counts as "No".
4. You land back on the Dashboard. The cards reload with their new counts and colours, and the badges on the bottom bar refresh. There is no confirmation message.

If the save fails, the dashboard shows the reason where the cards normally are, for example "No Internet". Pull down to reload, then try again.

What the entry does to your cards

• Every card on that car counts up by the amount you entered. The bar under each card name turns orange once the count reaches the card's Notification Threshold, and red once it reaches the Maintenance Threshold. A card past its limit shows a full bar with the real count on the slider handle.
• The entry is stored with the date you picked plus the current time of day, and shows up in Race History and in the History list inside each card.

Race History

Where in the app: Side menu, Race History

Race History is the log of every lap entry made for your team, across all of its cars.

Open Race History

1. Tap the hamburger icon to open the side menu.
2. Tap Race History, the row with the clock-and-arrow icon.

• The screen replaces the one you came from, so leave through the bottom bar or the side menu. No bottom-bar tab is highlighted here, but all five still work.
• Race History stays open on a demo team, and unlike the Dashboard it is not covered by the Subscription Required panel, so you can still read the log after a subscription ends. Crew members and the team owner see the same list.

What an entry shows

Each row has three lines:

• The race date, formatted by the server.
• The item name followed by what changed, for example the laps added.
• The car name, then " at ", then the track or series you typed on the form.

The list covers every car on the current team. There is no per-car filter, search box, sort control or paging, and tapping a row does nothing: no detail screen, no swipe action, no long press. Every line arrives from the server already formatted, so an entry saved without a track can end with a dangling " at ".

Refresh and states

• Pull down to reload. The pull indicator disappears straight away and the list shows its own spinner. Pull down after adding laps if your newest entry is not there yet, and after switching teams.
• If the list cannot load, the reason replaces it, for example "No Internet".
• With nothing logged yet the screen reads "Race History will show Lap Count entries from the dashboard once they are entered."

Editing or removing an entry

You cannot edit or delete a history entry from the app. The list is read only, which is why the Update Laps form warns "This can't be undone."

To correct a count that went in wrong:

1. Open the Dashboard and tap the card you want to fix.
2. Change the number in the Total Laps box, or tap Reset to Zero and confirm in the "Maintenance complete?" dialog. It explains "Reset lap counter when you perform maintenance or replace the item. Resetting can't be undone."
3. Save with the check icon in the title bar. A short "Updated" message confirms.

• This changes that card's running count, not the history line you already logged. What the server writes into history for a correction or a reset is decided on the server.
• Deleting a card is not a way to remove one bad entry. The delete dialog warns that it "will permanently delete this task and all data attached to it from RacePrep", and suggests you swipe the card and use Move to park it in the Garage, or Edit to keep the data and reset the laps to zero.

History for one card

• Tap a card on the Dashboard, then scroll to History. The same events are listed for that card alone, with the date and track on the left, and the change and running total on the right.
• A card with no history yet shows nothing under the header. There is no empty-state message here.
• A row whose total did not come through prints the word "null" where the number should be. The count on the card itself is still correct.
• Email this item, beside the History heading, mails a summary of that card. A "Task Summary" message reports what the server sent back.

Team & Cars

Manage Race Cars

Where in the app: Side menu, Manage Race Cars

Add race cars to your team, set each car's name, race class, unit and photo, and choose the car the rest of the app works on.

The car list

Open the side menu and tap Manage Race Cars. Under the title sits the line "Update your Race Car’s configurations including the Dashboard and Weekly Checklist items." and the header Configure Race Cars.

• Every car on the team you have selected gets a row: a square photo on the left, the car name, and the race class underneath. Tap the row or the > arrow to open it.
• Your Garage is not in this list. The Garage is the extra tile in the dashboard carousel and it has no details screen, so it cannot be renamed or given a race class.
• A car with no photo shows a yellow spinner picture until you upload one.
• When the team has no cars the list reads "No car found". A connection problem shows its message in the same place, for example "No Internet".
• Pull down to refresh. The spinner clears before the new list arrives, so wait a moment and pull again if something is missing.
• The five bottom tabs stay on screen here but none of them is highlighted. Tapping one leaves this screen.

Add a car

Add a New Race Car sits between the intro line and the list. It only appears when you are the owner of the team you have selected. Crew members do not see it, and nothing on screen explains why.

1. Tap Add a New Race Car.
2. Type a name in Car name. Each word is capitalised for you as you type.
3. Tap Add, or Cancel to back out.

• Add does nothing while the field is empty and shows no message. Type a name, then tap it again.
• The new car starts with the unit Laps and no race class. Set both on the car's own screen.
• There is no success message, and the list reloads from the top. The new car is not opened for you, and the first car in the team becomes the current car, so you may be switched away from the car you were working on. If you do not see it in the list, pull down to refresh.
• If the car cannot be created, a message appears at the bottom of the screen titled "Could not add car" with the reason underneath.

Car details

Tapping a car makes it the current car and opens Race Car Details, with three tabs: Details, Dashboard and Inspection. The screen saves by itself. There is no save icon in the title bar and no "unsaved changes" question when you leave.

The Details tab holds three fields:

• Under Race Class you see "Select a Race Class to pre-populate suggested maintenance tasks as a starting point or build a custom class by selecting “Other”."
• Under Unit you see "The unit which measures preventative maintenance thresholds." The unit counts every maintenance threshold on the car, and two cars can only clone from each other when their units match.

To set the race class:

1. Tap the Race Class field. Search your Race Class opens full screen.
2. Type in Search Race Class. The list filters as you type. Each row shows the class name with its category and a description.
3. Tap the row or its + to pick it.
4. If the car already had a class you are asked "Warning: Race Class change will reset car." Tap Back to the list to keep looking, or Clear tasks to apply the new class.

Picking a class saves the car straight away and also sets the Unit to that class's own unit, so check the unit afterwards.

The car photo

Under the form is a large picture of the car and the button Upload Race Car Photo.

1. Tap Upload Race Car Photo.
2. The dialog Add a Car Photo asks "Do you want to use the Camera or select a Photo from your Gallery".
3. Tap use Camera or use Gallery.

The camera opens on the front lens, so switch lenses before you shoot the car. Pick an image file, not a video. If the upload fails there is no message, so reopen the car to check whether the new photo took.

Save, reset and leaving the screen

• Save and Next at the bottom of the Details tab saves the form and moves you to the Dashboard tab.
• Move between the three tabs by tapping Details, Dashboard or Inspection at the top. Tapping a tab saves the tab you are leaving, so this is the reliable way to work. If you use Save and Next and then change something on the tab it lands you on, tap that tab's title once before pressing back so your change is the one that gets saved.
• The back arrow saves and closes without asking anything.
• Reset Car is the red button under the photo. It asks "Warning: Reset car can’t be undone." with the body "Resetting this car to its starting point will permanently erase everything attached to this car including all Dashboard cards, Lap History, Tasks, etc. This cannot be undone." Tap Cancel to stop or Reset Car to go ahead. There is no undo.
• After a reset, leave Race Car Details and open the car again before you touch the Dashboard or Inspection tab. Those two tabs still show the pre-reset lists until the screen is reopened.

Switching the active car

One car at a time is the current car, and the dashboard, inspection, task list, shopping list, parts and the bottom-bar badges all follow it.

• Swipe the carousel at the top of the Dashboard to change cars.
• Tapping a row in Manage Race Cars, or the car name under the dashboard carousel, makes that car current and opens Race Car Details. Because closing that screen makes the first car current again, use the dashboard carousel when you only want to switch cars.
• Closing Race Car Details reloads the car list and the first car becomes current again, whichever car you were editing. Swipe the dashboard carousel back to the car you want.

Deleting a car

There is no delete, archive or retire button for a car anywhere in the app. Reset Car is the only destructive action, and it empties a car rather than removing it. To have a car taken off your team, ask RacePrep support.

Manage My Race Team

Where in the app: Side menu, Manage My Race Team

Rename your team, invite crew members by email, and remove or restore their access.

Who can do what

A team belongs to one person: the racer whose account created it. Everyone else on it is a crew member. There are no other roles and no per-person permissions.

The owner view

The title reads Manage Race Team & Crew. The page holds four blocks, top to bottom.

1. Team name. The field is labelled Team name and takes up to 60 characters. Leave it empty and you get "Need a teamname". Tap Update to save. A message reading "Profile updated" appears at the bottom of the screen.

2. Invite your Crew. Crew members cost nothing to add.

1. Tap the orange + beside "Add another crew member invitation" to open an email row.
2. Type the crew member's address in Enter Crew Member Email. A bad address shows "Please Enter a valid Email address" under the field.
3. Repeat for everyone you want to invite. The + greys out until the row you just added holds a valid address.
4. Tap the × at the end of a row to drop that invitation.
5. Tap Send Invites.

• The + is greyed out and does nothing while any address in the list is invalid. Correct the address and the + lights up again. Send Invites is greyed out while any address in the list is invalid, and while a freshly added row is still empty.
• Tapping Send Invites with no rows at all shows "Add an invitation first." and "There are no invites in the list".
• There is no confirmation once the invites go out. The rows clear and the crew list reloads, and each new person appears with a blue PENDING badge. That badge is your receipt. If nothing changes in the list, the send did not reach the server, so try again.
• Addresses go out exactly as typed, so watch for stray spaces.

3. My Crew. Each row shows a photo, a state badge, the name, the email and the phone number. A pending invitation has no name or phone yet. An empty crew list shows nothing at all.

To remove someone, tap Remove, read "Are you sure?" and "The Crew Member will be blocked and will no longer have access.", then tap Ok, or Dismiss to stop. To let them back in, tap Unblock on the red row and confirm "The Crew Member will regain access." Removing is never permanent: the person stays in the list with a red badge so you can undo it.

4. Transfer Team Ownership. The Transfer button opens the RacePrep transfer page in your browser. Nothing happens inside the app, and the app gives no feedback afterwards.

The crew member view

When the team you have selected belongs to somebody else, the title reads Manage followed by the team name and the page is a single paragraph: "Managing the crew of" the team name "is only allowed by the team owner:" with the owner's name and email address. Under it is one button:

• Switch to your own team if you own a team as well. The page redraws as the owner view straight away.
• Buy your own team if you do not. It opens the subscriptions screen.

Crew members cannot leave a team from the app. Ask the owner to remove you.

On a demo team

• Manage My Race Team is greyed out in the side menu and tapping it does nothing at all. The menu stays open.
• If you have no team of your own, the top of the side menu carries an extra button: Get free Trial, or Create my own team once a trial is no longer available. Both open the subscriptions screen.
• The Dashboard shows the panel "You are in DEMO MODE", with DEMO MODE in bold, with Start a Trial or Buy a Subscription.

Join a race team

Where in the app: Side menu, Join a race team

Use the code a team owner emailed you to join their team as a crew member.

Enter your code

The screen opens with "Enter your invite code to join a race team. If you do not have a code, please ask the team owner to invite you to the team from within their app." Under it is one large centred box and one button.

1. Open the side menu and tap Join a race team.
2. Type your code into Invite Code. The helper line reads "The invite code emailed to you." The box takes up to 8 characters.
3. Tap Join the Team.

• The code comes from the invitation email. A link in that email cannot open this screen for you, so type the code in by hand.
• The field keeps whatever you typed after a failed attempt. Clear it yourself before trying a different code.
• A thin progress line runs under the title while the code is checked. Pulling down on this screen does nothing.

What happens next

On success a dialog appears titled "You joined a Race Team!" with "Welcome as a crew member of" and the team name. Tap OK and the app switches to that team and opens the Dashboard. A short message reading "Accepted to" and the team name also appears at the bottom of the screen.

If the code is not accepted, the dialog is titled "Couldn't join the race team." and the body carries the reason. Two you may see:

• "Invalid invide code" [sic], when the server rejects the code and sends no reason of its own.
• "Could not verify this invite code, please try again later.", when the app could not reach the server.

Tap OK, check the code against the email, and try again. If nothing appears at all after you tap Join the Team, treat it as a failure and try once more.

When you belong to more than one team

Joining a team does not replace the team you already have. Both stay in your account and you switch between them.

1. Open the side menu.
2. Tap the Select Race Team dropdown at the top.
3. Pick a team.

The menu closes and the Dashboard opens on the team you picked.

• Switching teams reloads the cars. The car you were on stays current if it belongs to the new team, otherwise the first car in the new team takes over.
• You are the owner of your own team and a crew member of every team you joined. What you can do changes with the team you have selected.
• The badges on the bottom bar, the dashboard, the inspection, the task list, the shopping list and the parts list all belong to the current car of the current team.
• At sign in the app always starts on the first team in your list. Use the Select Race Team dropdown to switch back to the team you want.

Account

My Profile

Where in the app: Side menu, My Profile

My Profile holds your photo, your name, how we reach you and the emails you get. Your email address itself is fixed.

Open it

• Side menu, then My Profile.
• Or tap the round photo at the top right of the Dashboard. Its tooltip reads "Your Profile".

The title bar reads "Profile of" followed by your name.

Your photo

1. Tap Upload Profile Photo.
2. The dialog Add a Profile Photo asks "Do you want to use the Camera or select a Photo from your Gallery".
3. Tap use Camera or use Gallery and pick the picture.

The photo uploads straight away and the circle refreshes. A thin line under the title bar shows while it uploads.

The email bar

At the top of the form is a bar showing where your email address stands.

• Verified accounts see a green envelope and "Email verified".
• Unverified accounts see a red envelope, "Verify email in your inbox" and a Send Again button. The app confirms with "Email sent".

Verification unlocks My Subscriptions and Refer Friends. Pull down to refresh after you tap the link in the email.

The fields

Tap Update to save. The app confirms with "Profile updated".

Change your password

1. Tap Change My Password.
2. Type the new password in the Change Password dialog. It must be at least 6 characters.
3. Tap Submit.

The app confirms with "Password updated". A failure reads "Error, Password NOT updated". There is no cancel button, so tap outside the dialog to close it.

Your promo code

If your account carries a promo code, it appears under the buttons as "Your Promo Code:" followed by the code, and, if your promo comes from a sponsor, their logo underneath. The code is set by RaceYear and cannot be edited.

Subscriptions and purchases

Where in the app: Side menu, My Subscriptions

My Subscriptions shows what you are on now and what you can buy. Buying is handled by the App Store or Google Play.

Before you can buy

Your email address must be verified. Until then the page shows "To continue, you need to verify your email" with a Send Again button. Tap the link in the email and the page re-checks every 20 seconds and swaps to the real contents, or straight away if you pull down to refresh.

What is on the page

• The title reads Start Free or Go Pro while a trial is on offer, and My Team Subscriptions otherwise.
• RacePrep Trials & Subscriptions lists what you hold today. This block only appears when no free trial is on offer. With a trial available the page shows the line "Start a trial or jump right in with a subscription." above the plans instead. Each line shows the plan and whether it is a Monthly plan, a Yearly plan or a Free Trial. Paid plans also show the price and "Renews" with the date. Free trial lines show neither. A badge sits over the middle of the second line and reads ACTIVE, PENDING, CANCELLED, Expired, or the days left on a trial.
• With nothing active the block reads "You have no active subscriptions."
• Under that come the plans you can buy, on tabs: Free Trial when one is offered, Yearly (save 30%) and Monthly.
• Restore Purchases sits at the bottom.

Buy a plan

1. Pick the Yearly (save 30%) or Monthly tab.
2. Read the plan card. It shows the price per year or per month and what that works out to the other way.
3. Tap the buy button on the card.
4. Complete the App Store or Google Play sheet.
5. The first time you subscribe, the dialog Welcome to your Full Subscription! appears. Tap View Dashboard.

The app then opens Manage Race Cars so you can set your car up.

Start a trial instead

On the Free Trial tab, tap Start a free trial. The dialog Your 30-Day Free Trial Starts Now! appears and you tap Start My Trial.

Restore a purchase

Tap Restore Purchases. Use this on a new phone, or after reinstalling, when a subscription you paid for is not showing.

When something is wrong

• "There is no store available." means the app cannot reach the store on this device. It always shows on the web version.
• "This plan is not available at this moment." with a line pointing at CrewChief@raceprep.app means that plan is not sold in your region. Tap the address to email us.

Frequently asked questions

Where in the app: Reference

Short answers to what racers ask most.

Do my crew members have to pay?

No. The team owner holds the subscription. Anyone the owner invites uses RacePrep for free.

What is the demo team?

A sample team with sample cars so you can look around before you commit. Its data resets, so treat it as a sandbox rather than a place to store real work.

How do I get my own team?

Tap Get free Trial at the top of the side menu, or tap the DEMO MODE banner on the Dashboard. Either opens the subscriptions screen, where you tap Start a free trial or buy a plan. My Subscriptions in the side menu is greyed out while you are on the demo team. Both create a team of your own and take you to Manage Race Cars.

Where do I set what the app tracks on my car?

On the Dashboard, tap the gear. Switch on the items your account suggests, or tap Create Custom Dashboard Card to write your own.

What is the difference between the two thresholds?

The Maintenance Threshold is when the item is due. It turns the bar red and moves the job to Action Now. The Notification Threshold is the earlier warning. It turns the bar orange and moves the job to To Do Soon.

How do I record a race night?

Open the Dashboard and tap Update All Laps. The button uses whatever unit the car is set to, so it may read Hours, Miles or Km. Enter the laps, the race date and the track or series, then tap the button at the bottom. The laps are added to every card on that car.

Can I log laps for two cars at once?

No. Laps go on the car you are looking at. Switch cars on the dashboard and log the second car separately.

Can I undo laps I entered twice?

Not as a history entry. Open the card, type the correct total in the large box and save. The history keeps both lines but the count is right.

What happens when I service a part?

Open its card, tap Reset to Zero, confirm, then save with the orange check. The count starts again from zero and the card turns green.

What is the garage for?

Parts you are not running. Move a card to the garage and it keeps its count off the car. Move it back to a car later and the history comes with it.

Why can I not add laps on the garage?

The garage is storage, not a car. It has no Update All button.

Who can tick off an inspection item?

Anyone on the team. Their photo appears on the row so you can see who did it.

When does the weekly checklist reset?

When someone resets it. Tap the circular arrow in the title bar on the Inspection tab, then Reset tasks. Logging laps with Reset Weekly Checklist ticked also clears it.

How do items get onto the shopping list?

Three ways. Search for or add an item on the Shopping tab, tap Add on a row in Parts, or attach parts to an inspection item.

Why can I not delete a job from the Task List?

Jobs cannot be deleted in the app. Tick the job and clear it with the broom instead.

Do I need to be online?

Yes. RacePrep reads and writes everything on the server. Offline you get a "No internet connection" bar and changes will not save.

How do I change my email address?

You cannot in the app. The email field on My Profile is read only because it is your sign-in name. Contact us if it has to change.

How do I stop the Monday email?

Turn off Monday Morning Recap Emails on My Profile and tap Update.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In your App Store or Google Play account. RacePrep has no cancel button, and cancelling in the store stops the renewal.

How do I delete my account?

Open My Profile and tap Delete my account. That opens the RaceYear deletion page in your browser, where you make the request.

Still need help?

If something is not working, or you cannot find the answer here, see the troubleshooting section of the Help Center or contact us. Telling us which app you are using, your device, the version shown at the bottom of the side menu, and what you were doing when the problem happened helps us sort it out faster.
