Pre Race
- The course is being pre-set the day before with help from the OCRDA team. 2 marker buoys are being placed 5km apart using GPS tracking.
- A new results display system has been made for the timing screen. It will update as results come in and are posted, as well as showing the running order for each chase boat and who is yet to run etc. Drivers will also receive a text message when the driver before them is about to go out for their run.
