FPVScores Launches Live Lap-Timing and Refreshed Event Pages

FPVScores launched a live lap-timing feature and refreshed event pages on February 18, 2026, a move aimed squarely at chapter race directors and indoor whoop leagues that publish lap times, event calendars and leaderboards. The rollout promises faster visibility for RotorHazard timer data across public event pages and organizer dashboards.

FPVScores positions the change inside its documentation, which opens with "Welcome to the FPVScores Documentation! 🎉" and calls the service "the ultimate platform for FPV drone racing, offering tools to publish lap times, manage events, and enhance the racing experience." The docs explicitly state the platform is cloud-based and "Designed to work seamlessly with RotorHazard laptimers," sending timed laps online for pilots, race directors, and organisations.

Technical plumbing for the live updates centers on RotorHazard and a Sync Plugin. The documentation lists clear setup steps as headings: "Set Up Your RotorHazard Timer:", "Install the Sync Plugin:", "Create a Pilot Account:", and "Set Up Your Organisation (optional):" The Sync Plugin documentation is described as "Detailed instructions for setting up and using the Sync Plugin for RotorHazard laptimers," which suggests organizers who already run RotorHazard-based timing can enable the new live feed without swapping hardware.

The original announcement copy supplied in reporting reads, in full, "What launched and why it matters: FPVScores, the web platform used by many chapter race directors and indoor whoop leagues to publish lap times, event calendars and leaderboards, announced a new live lap‑timing feature and refreshed event pages this week. The upgrade promises near‑real‑time postin", the sentence is truncated in the supplied text but makes clear the vendor touted near-real-time updates. That fragment underscores the practical benefit: lap times flowing from RotorHazard to public leaderboards with far less delay than static uploads.

Missing from the supplied materials are the hard numbers that matter to directors and pilots: measured latency in seconds, whether the feature requires a specific RotorHazard or Sync Plugin version, whether existing event pages migrate automatically, and whether the live lap-timing is included at no extra cost. The documentation mentions a "Support and Community" section with "Need help or have questions? Here’s how to get assistance:" but does not include contact details or step-by-step commands in the provided excerpt.

If you run chapter races or an indoor whoop league, the immediate practical path is already mapped in FPVScores documentation: set up RotorHazard, install the Sync Plugin, create pilot accounts, and configure organisations. FPVScores' marketing copy closes by urging users to "Start exploring today and make your races more connected and engaging!" The next journalistic mile is confirmation from FPVScores of rollout scope, latency figures, and screenshots of the refreshed event pages so directors can validate the speed and reliability of the new live lap-timing feed.
