CW 43 Weekly Track Titan Update

Track Titan "Drive to Win" is now available for everyone

Last week, we announced the invite-only launch of a project we have been working on for a while: Drive to Win. We are really excited to launch this publicly for everyone now by showing you exactly what rewards are up for grabs and what targets you need to beat to get them.

You can now access Drive to Win here and as you can see, thousands of achievements and Track Titan points are up for grabs.

‍

See a track/car combo you like and think you can beat that time? To get the points, you simply need to be the first user to do the following:

1. Make sure the Track Titan Desktop App is up and running and you are logged in
2. Beat the target time with a valid lap for your chosen track/car combo
3. Make sure to save your replay (really important; without this, you will not be eligible for any achievement)
4. Once your lap data and replay have been uploaded fully (this happens automatically in the background), the achievement is yours :)

‍

We are already working on the redemption functionality and starting next week, you will be able to convert your points into free HYMO setups and more so keep accumulating points starting today so you are in pole position for some rewards next week.

‍

As you can see in the screenshot from my account below, new achievements claimed by you and the points received also show directly on your dashboard.

Video track guides
A big week with our first beginner guides launched. This means we now post two types of guides:

• "Normal" guides with laps within 1.5% of the top times
• "Beginner" guides with laps 3-5% slower and therefore more achievable BUT importantly still with good racing lines and no massive ****-ups. A note on making sure the quality is high: This is complex to do at scale and we have built some pretty sophisticated stuff to check this before we post this but as with every new launch, things might go wrong so if you do see a guide which seems a bit off, please let us know.

You can see a beginner guide example below:

‍

• Total track guides posted on YouTube as of yesterday: 2,006
• Total new guides posted last week: 198‍

Getting your laps processed faster

‍We launched a change last week to ensure that the moment you start driving, we instantly send data to Track Titan to show it in your session list to show you that everything is working fine. Previously, this only happened once we got a full lap processed which caused some uncertainty for some of you.

Besides that, we have started work on some more fundamental changes in how and when we upload your data which will lead to faster processing times. Will keep you posted on this!

‍

Many small things and work on bigger secret projects

The point of this update is to give you an insight into the main changes/insights/work from the previous week. Of course, we work on many other things besides those which can range from small bug fixes and UI improvements to work on pretty big but currently secret projects like previously Drive to Win which is now out there. All we can say is: More to come :)

‍

That's it for this week. As always, feel free to reach out at max@tracktitan.io.
