Advertising

At the end of the 22/23 season we asked users how we could improve the site. Based on that feedback we did a full redesign, including creating a scalable responsive layout. This means the layout, and even the data, adjusts based on the screen size and phone orientation.

We've also added the ability for racers and family to join Live-Timing. Then they can manage their results, easily navigate to their friends, and post photos to the site. We're focused on creating a community around race results. All this in addition to the race viewing features everyone loves.

We've also change the advertising options:

To use the full space of the screen we will no longer offer Button Ads.
Instead of 2 of each, there will be up to 4 Full Banner ads and up to 4 Featured Banner Ads. But randomly 2 out of those sold will be displayed in each of the banner locations.
Pricing will not be month or season based. Ads will be a fixed price and run for 12 months from whenever they start.
