End of the night

Archiving saves tonight into your season and clears the board for next week. Do it every race night — season points only add up from archived nights.

  1. Check every feature is scored

    The Race Control bar should say “Every feature is scored — the night is complete.” If a feature isn't finished, RaceDay warns you before archiving — those classes' points won't count, so tap Cancel and finish them first.

  2. Archive and start the next race day

    Tap 🏁 Archive & start next race day and confirm. Tonight's entries and results move to Race day history and the board clears. Your driver book and classes stay.

  3. Download a backup

    RaceDay asks “Back up first?” — tap OK to save a backup file. Keep it somewhere safe (email it to yourself). If this device is ever lost or wiped, that file brings the whole season back.

  4. Share results with Driven

    Next it offers to share tonight's results with Driven, so drivers' career stats update. Tap OK to share now, or Cancel to be reminded later.

  5. Check the history

    Admin → Race night → Race day history lists every archived night. View shows it, CSV exports it, Delete removes it.

  6. Turn on cloud backup

    In Admin → Account → Backup & export, tick the cloud backup box and RaceDay keeps an off-device copy for you. ☁ Back up now runs one immediately. Your PIN and license are never uploaded.

Good to know

  • History keeps your last 60 race days.
  • If you haven't downloaded a backup in 30 days, RaceDay reminds you.
  • Restoring a backup never moves a license — each device keeps its own.
