Advertising 2025/26
Two years ago, we asked users how we could improve the site. Based on that feedback, we completed a full redesign - introducing a scalable, responsive layout. This means the layout (and even the data) adjusts automatically based on screen size and phone orientation.
We've also added new features that allow racers and their families to join Live-Timing. Members can now manage results, navigate easily to friends, and post photos—building a community around race results. All this, in addition to the race-viewing features everyone already loves.
We've also changed the advertising options:
- To take full advantage of screen space, Button Ads will no longer be offered.
- Instead of 2 of each type, we’ll now support up to 4 Full Banner Ads and up to 4 Featured Banner Ads.
- For each banner position, 2 ads will be randomly selected from the pool of sold spots and displayed at a time.
- Pricing is now fixed and each ad runs for 12 months from its start date, rather than being based on the calendar month or season.
