Timekeeper

Timekeeping is a great way to get involved in motorsport and play a crucial role in the running of events.

At race and speed events, the role involves accurately recording competitor’s times during race and practice sessions. This can sometimes involve using sophisticated timing systems to measure lap times, sector times, and overall race times, which are then used to determine results, analyze performance, and manage the race.

Timekeepers also play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of events by monitoring progress, providing data to other officials, and managing any timing-related issues that may arise.
