Timing

Your boat. Your laps.

OMRA’s race-control system identifies each boat by its fitted transponder and records its passes through the timing loop. Register the correct transponder with your boat, then confirm it checks in before racing.

Ask race control about compatibility and placement before buying or fitting one. A transponder is available from Noah’s RC Ark ↗.

Championship points

Every position counts.

Classified drivers earn finishing points, plus one for every classified boat they beat in their class. Fastest lap adds one point. A DNF can receive manually adjusted points; DNS and DSQ score zero.
