RaceTraxs.com is an online resource for up to date information about motor racing tracks. It is billed as "The World's first hypermedia research application for motorsports racing tracks." It was developed by Duncan Rait, based in Melbourne, Australia in the first half of 2012, and went online in July 2012.

1 Development

MR Rait developed the application in response to a lack of up to date information about racing clubs and tracks. Many race tracks in Australia are managed by small clubs on a volunteer basis and lack the resources to have an online presence. The concept was simple: create one central online location for clubs to list their facilities where prospective racers could research them. Over the course of development this concept expanded to include interactive mapping and status updates that all users could add to. This created an environment where both track managers and users can contribute to keeping information timely. Video links and driving directions from any location were also added, followed by a mobile phone version.
