How to Automate RaceFacer

A rental track sells the same ten minutes forty times a day

RaceFacer is timing and track management software for rental karting, made by a company in Sofia and sold to go-kart centres and multi-activity venues.

The product is ten minutes on a circuit, in a kart, at a stated time. Say there are twelve karts and forty of those slots in a Saturday: a heat that goes out with four drivers in it costs the same to run as a heat with twelve. The margin lives in how full the grid is and how quickly the next one gets away.

So RaceFacer holds the parts that decide the day. The multi-activity calendar and online booking take the reservation, the session manager and kart allocation put drivers into karts, the timing software and the displays run the heat, and the results write a lap time onto a driver profile that the driver will open on their phone before they get home.

The desk is busiest exactly when the office work is due

On a Saturday the desk is three deep and nobody behind it is doing admin.

The rest waits until Monday, and by Monday half of it has expired. Whether the forecast for next weekend justifies opening the outdoor circuit. What the centre forty minutes away is charging for the same Saturday, and whether they have put up a school-holiday offer. The five-star review from Friday that nobody answered and the two-star one that nobody saw. Whether the corporate group that came in March has been asked back. Whether the kart that went into the barrier on Sunday has come out of the garage. Which memberships lapse this month.

Every one of those sits on somebody else's website or in somebody's head, and every one is worth more than whatever got done instead.

Near misses turned into a rebooking list Drivers who finished within a tenth of the track record last week, listed with their session and their time, while the lap is still fresh enough to want another go at.

Next Saturday priced against the town The nearest karting centres' booking pages read for the same dates, with their open slots and school-holiday offers, before your own promotion is printed.

Reviews matched to the session Weekend reviews collected from the sites drivers actually read and traced back to the heat they came from, so a complaint reaches the person who ran it.

The session manager already knows every lap that was run

RaceFacer automates the track's own operation in real depth, and a venue paying for it should have all of that running first.

Online booking and payment sell a slot from your own site or your RaceFacer track page, checking availability and offering products and promos as they go, then syncing into the calendar and the session manager. The multi-activity calendar shows occupancy across every activity and pulls drivers in from the database or the virtual kiosk. Kart allocation puts a named driver in a numbered kart in two clicks, and queue management, the point of sale, the bar and shop and the displays cover the rest of the floor. Race and event management builds sprint and endurance races and championships from templates, with live timing, a point system and kart swaps mid-race. Marketing insights and the campaign manager segment the customer database and send email, SMS, push and automatic birthday messages. RaceSafety controls the karts, applying flag modes and speed modes through a shutdown transponder when something happens on track.

All of that runs on a session RaceFacer sold or a lap it timed. The forecast does not. Neither does a rival's booking page, the review that appeared overnight, or the birthday party enquiry sitting in a social inbox.

A wet Saturday can be re-sold before it arrives

The results screen already holds the interesting half of next week's marketing.

Drivers who came within a tenth of the track or class record and went home without being asked back, listed with the session and the time. Memberships and prepaid heat vouchers running out this month, named with what each driver last spent. Reviews from the weekend collected off the sites drivers read and matched to the heat they came from, so a complaint about a fifteen-minute wait reaches the person who was on the desk.

Then the week ahead. Next weekend's forecast set against the heats already booked, so an outdoor session that will run in the rain is known days out, when an indoor slot or a different day is still worth offering. The two nearest karting centres' booking pages read for the same Saturday, with their open slots and their offers, because a rival cutting a school-holiday price is worth knowing before yours goes to print. Enquiries about corporate days and birthdays sitting unanswered in a social inbox. A kart missing from the rotation for a fortnight.

Anything that decides whether a driver goes on track stays at the desk. Age, height and the safety briefing are a person's call in front of the driver, not a lookup.

Putting a driver in a kart stays a decision at the desk

Finding the drivers who came within a tenth of the record means opening every session from the weekend, one heat at a time, which is why nobody does it.

WebRun is an AI agent that works a real Chrome browser, signed in as you. It opens RaceFacer the way your desk staff do, opens the forecast, a rival's booking page or a review site beside it, and leaves one list with the exceptions named.

It runs on your schedule in your own private environment, and you can watch a run and stop it. Nothing that puts a driver on track, moves a session or messages a customer goes out without a person reading it first. Each workflow below names the screens it opens.
