MotoGP: New live timing App released for iPhone and iPod

In 2010 MotoGP fans are able to enjoy an amazingly detailed experience on their iPhone and iPod Touch thanks to the new Official Live Timing Application by Soft Pauer, which ensures that fans will not miss a minute of the action from any of the rounds on the 2010 calendar regardless of where they are.

Many of them have already enjoyed this new application throughout the first race weekend of the season in Qatar, when MotoGP Live Timing placed amongst the top sales in the iTunes App Store sports section for Italy, Spain, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Hungary, Finland, UK, USA, Australia, Indonesia and Japan.

The App offers an unprecedented level of information to consumers, which can be immediately taken in with the unique dynamic/interactive track map which provides users with a clear illustration of all the gaps between riders.

Users are also able to access the same live timing information and in the same format as that which is used by the teams at each Grand Prix venue to track the progress of a session or particular team or rider. Uniquely, all the data from the whole season will be retained on the user’s device to enable them to look back at and re-run the sessions whenever they want.

After the successful launch last year of the F1 Timing and Track Positioning App, iPhone and iPod Touch users can now get their hands on Soft Pauer’s brand new MotoGP 2010 Official Live Timing Application – Premium Pass, and never miss a lap of this year’s championship.

The App is available in English, Spanish, Italian, French and German at a cost of just €14.99 (approximately $AUD20.00) for the whole season. Support and service information is constantly updated at www.twitter.com/motogptimingapp.

Soft Pauer’s chief executive Otmar Szafnauer is pleased with the release.

“We’re very pleased to offer fans an added dimension to the experience of watching MotoGP,” he said. “We hope that they will take advantage of this new opportunity to get a full picture of the racing action wherever they go.”

Dorna Sports managing director Manel Arroyo is also excited with the announcement.

“We have a duty to improve and expand MotoGP coverage through new technologies and this new application is the perfect tool for fans who don’t want to miss a moment of the MotoGP World Championship wherever they are, like those who are enjoying MotoGP at the racetrack and want to have instant information of what goes on lap by lap,” he explained. “We are also working with Soft Pauer so that this application is available on other platforms soon”.

The application is available from the iTunes App Store, and you can also download it now by visiting the official MotoGP website here.
