RaceHero Case Study
Track, Analyze, Share your racing on any device
About the project
RaceHero brings everything about racing to your pocket in a fun and social way. Whether it is race schedules, live timing, tracking or analyzing the data, it all can be done in RaceHero.
Engagement with BigBinary
When RaceHero approached BigBinary to build the mobile application, they already had the MVP of their web application up and running. They wanted the mobile application to be up and running quickly. Most importantly, after the mobile application was live, they wanted an easy way to update the product without continually pushing updates to the app store. Since the RaceHero web application was built with responsive design, the application looked great on a mobile browser. The task for BigBinary was to reuse and update the already built HTML pages so that every change in the page did not require a similar change in the mobile app.
Live Races
RaceHero covers live races. It displays and updates racers position in real-time. Deep dive into the completed laps data with just a few clicks. Track and find more about the racers by tapping on their profile information.
Visualize The Race
RaceHero generates charts for each race which helps explain what actually happened in the race. Lap time and position charts help in looking beyond simple finishing position and show how each racer attacks and defends to earn their finishing position.
Results and Schedule
In addition to the live races, users can look into statistics of already finished races. The app shows lap-wise performance of each racer and key stats like best lap timing, time taken compared to the winner, positions gained. The app uses trophy icons to show additional analytics like Hard Charger, Fast Rabbit, Flag to Flag Victory etc. Users can share these results on social media very easily.
Schedule helps users keep track of upcoming races, participants and their past performances.

"When looking for Rails and React developers, we discovered BigBinary from their open source contributions to Rails. They have delivered consistently strong work for the past 2 years, and we consider them part of our team."
