Getting Started

Step by step, from your first registration to the podium — or from an empty event to published results.

  1. Create your profile

    Sign up with Google, Apple or email, then complete your rider profile — you need it to register for events.

    • Add your name, country, photo, stance and preferred discipline
    • Design your leathers in the Suit Studio so officials can pick you out on track
    • Show up to 6 sponsors on your rider card
  2. Browse & register

    Find upcoming events on Compete and sign up for your discipline and category.

    • Answer the organizer's questions and accept any waivers in the registration sheet
    • Register for more than one category at the same event if you're eligible
    • Call the winner in Who will win? before racing starts
  3. Race day check-in

    At the venue, show your personal QR code — it's in your confirmation email and on the event page. The organizer scans it to check you in.

    • Your bib number is assigned at registration or at the desk
    • Payment and waivers are confirmed at check-in
    • Follow the event schedule — every item counts down on race day
  4. Qualifying

    Qualifying sets your seed for the knockout. The organizer picks one of three methods.

    • Time Trials — timed runs, your best time counts
    • Race to Qualify — race heats and collect points
    • Custom Seeding — the organizer sets the order
    • Practice runs are shown separately and never count
  5. Knockout racing

    Race single-elimination heats and finish in the top half to advance.

    • Follow every heat live, with a countdown while it runs
    • Open Heat Insights for a prediction before a heat and a recap after it
    • DNF and DSQ are recorded per heat
  6. Results & stats

    Results are worked out automatically as the knockout finishes.

    • You're notified when your result is up
    • Your R4W rating updates after every event
    • Earn 88 achievement badges across every category
  7. Championships

    If the event is part of a championship, your points accumulate across races.

    • Standings update after every round, with position changes
    • Some series count only your best results — dropped rounds are marked
    • Call the champion in championship picks
  8. Track your runs

    Upload your GPS runs to review, analyze and share — R4WRUN is a training log, not just a race-day tool.

    • Upload a GPX or RaceBox CSV file, or import over Bluetooth from a RaceBox on the app
    • See speed, G-force, corners and slides on a synced map and charts
    • Time your favourite stretch with timed sections and chase the spot board
    • Race your run against anyone's in a ghost race
  9. Connect & climb

    Follow the scene, talk race day and see where you rank.

    • Follow riders and spots, and message anyone directly
    • Chat with everyone at each event you're part of
    • Track your R4W rating and climb the rankings
    • Choose email or push for every kind of notification
