The 2025 June release of HH Timing brings exciting improvements, many of which were requested by you! So thank you for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas. We have also included numerous bug fixes for improved stability.

As always, if you have any questions or issues with the release, please contact us at support@hh-dev.com.

Full Track Map​

It is now possible to zoom in on different cars on the Full Track Map.
This feature enables a closer view of one or multiple vehicles during a session.

In the example below, the view is focused on the three safety cars used at Le Mans:

The zoom can also be applied to cars from the same team, offering a detailed view of their positioning on track.
For instance, the following image shows a zoom on two cars from the same team:

The zoom level can be adjusted manually using the slider to set the desired scale.

To activate this feature, the Zoom On Car option must be enabled from the ribbon in the Full Track Map. When active, the map automatically centers around the selected reference car, adapting the view dynamically as their position evolves.

Advanced Car Stopwatch​

The Advanced Car Stopwatch now includes additional visual indicators to enhance race monitoring and analysis.

Pit Entry / Pit Exit Light Status​

Two new columns can be added via dedicated checkboxes to display the pit entry and pit exit light status. These indicators reflect real-time conditions and are updated as soon as the light status changes.

Below is an example where the pit entry is red because track status is Prepare for FCY then FCY:

And an example where Track Status in Red under the FCY then Green when the FCY ends:

Safety Car Highlighting​

All Safety Cars now appear with a yellow background color in the stopwatch.

Quick Access to Car Scoreboard​

A double mouse wheel click on any car row in the Main Scoreboard now opens the Car Scoreboard for that specific car.

This provides a fast and convenient way to access detailed timing information without navigating through the tree or the ribbon bar to add the car scoreboard.

Use Micro sectors as main sectors (WEC, EXPERIMENTAL)​

When available from the timing feed, microsectors can be used in place of standard sectors to allow for more granular timing analysis.

Defining Micro Sectors​

Microsectors must be entered either in pairs or triplets:

• Pair format: entry,exit
  → sectors are automatically named MS1, MS2, ...
• Triplet format: name,entry,exit
  → allows assigning custom names to each sector

Each microsector definition should be separated by a semicolon (;).

Example​

Using triplets, Slow Zones can be created at Le Mans with timing lines from the feed:

• FL to Z4
• Z4 to IP1
• IP1 to Z12
• Z12 to A7-1
• A7-1 to A8-1
• A8-1 to SCLB
• SCLB to PORIN
• PORIN to POROUT
• POROUT to FL

Micro Sectors: SZ1,FL,Z4;SZ2,Z4,IP1;SZ3,IP1,Z12;SZ4,Z12,A7-1;SZ5,A7-1,A8-1;SZ6,A8-1,SCLB;SZ7,SCLB,PORIN;SZ8,PORIN,POROUT;SZ9,POROUT,FL

To ensure full functionality — including features such as ghost cars — the dedicated Track Map must be used.

The 2025 April release of HH Timing brings exciting improvements, many of which were requested by you! So thank you for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas. We have also included numerous bug fixes for improved stability.

As always, if you have any questions or issues with the release, please contact us at support@hh-dev.com.

Advancing replay​

When replaying a session, you now have the option to jump to a specific session time, moving either forward or backward. This eliminates the need to replay the entire session from the beginning. A new button has been added to the replay bar in the bottom-right corner of the screen:

A control pop-up will let you set the desired elapsed time of the session you want to advance to:

After clicking the 'OK' button, HH Timing will process the replay and begin playback from the selected elapsed time.

Graphs​

X and Y axes can be changed without creating a new graph. The selection can be made from the ribbon bar of any scatter plot or moving average graph:

Additionally, we implemented the ability to:

• change the car/driver series directly from the ribbon bar.
• filter the displayed series based on driver categorization.

Strategy overview​

The stint time can now be displayed on the strategy overview. This stint time is the time from pit out to pit in except fo rthe first or last stint where the race start/end times are used:

Virtual finish ghost car​

A virtual finish ghost car is now available on the full track map. This feature displays a car running to a specified average lap time and finishing the session precisely when the session time reaches zero. This helps to quickly assess whether another lap is likely or not depending of the current track postion.

This setting can be changed on the ribbon bar of the full track map:

Alkamel V2 enhanced read history​

A newly enhanced option has been added to the Read History parameter of the championship config for the Alkamel V2 protocol. When enabled, HH Timing will process Alkamel lap and sector times correction messages (i.e. lap deleted for track limit or other penalty). Scoreboards and graphs will be updated accordingly:

IMSA IWSC GTP telemetry​

HH Timing can now record and display IMSA telemetry data provided by IMSA GTP telemetry website: https://www.imsa.com/gtp-telemetry/.

Add the Enable Telemetry Reading parameter to the championship config from either IMSA Enhanced RMon Timing protocol (IMSA Timing) or Al Kamel V2 North America protocol to enable the recording.

Recorded from the telemetry, the following columns will be available on the main scoreboard:

• Energy Rem
• Energy Refill Time

Live data can be plotted using the telemetry graph (found under Displays --> Other Graphs) and selecting the Live Telem Plot Mode:

Indycar telemetry​

When using the RIS protocol with the option to record telemetry, you can now display live data on our telemetry graph (Displays --> Other Graphs) by selecting the Live Telem Plot Mode:

The February 2024 release of HH Timing brings exciting improvements, many of which were requested by you! Thank you for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas. This release also includes numerous bug fixes for improved stability.

As always, if you have any questions or issues with the release, please contact us at support@hh-dev.com.

Gap graph​

In 2024, one of our goals is to consolidate tools that have grown over time. One such tool is the gap graph. For the past few years, we have maintained both a regular gap graph and a more advanced projected gap graph. We have decided to discontinue the regular gap graph and focus on improving the usability of the projected gap graph.

For those who are unfamiliar with it, you can read the help section on gap graph

Track loops export​

Certain protocols, including Alkamel v2, IMSA Enhanced RMon Timing, and TimeService TeamStream, offer additional list of track loops in addition of the regular sectors and pit loops. To access this functionality, navigate to the DATA/Sessions menu, select your desired session, and then click on the "Copy Track Loops" option.

The loops are then copied to your clipboard.

Those loops can then be used to create additional sectors.

Here is an example:

Stint analysis​

For user convenience, a legend was integrated into the stint analysis display, providing clear color coding for all cars selected.

New protocol​

The Perugia timing protocol was added on this version.

Car off track​

One control that become more popular in the last year was the car off track display. We have re-worked the help file to explain all options.

Live crossign order​

The ability to show driver categorisation was added to the live crossing order. There is now an option in the ribbon bar:

.

A new column showing the driver categorisation (Bronze,Silver,Gold and Platinium) is then added to the scoreboard:

Misc.​

The color of the unknown category was changed from black to grey, to avoid issue on all control with black background. This is only useful in series where the car category are not defined.

Our 2023 November release includes many improvements to HH Timing. Many of these were requested by you, so thanks for continuously sharing your feedback and ideas!

As usual, if you have any questions or issues with the release please contact us using support@hh-dev.com.

Help file​

Recently we have released a new help file. The address remains unchanged help.hhtiming.com. We have made changes on our side so the help file will receive more regular updates in parallel to the development.

For each version, we will have a post in this section help.hhtiming.com/whats-new to describe every new feature and major changes to the software.

HH Timing replay database​

➔ Complete Help section

One of the major improvements for this version is the incorporation of a replay database directly within HH Timing. This will allow users to get access and run past replays from the software.

Race calculation on car scoreboard​

➔ Complete Help section

Future laps based on the race calculation parameters can now be displayed directly in the car scoreboard. This option was designed to help with decision making live during the race and also validate that all parameters have been entered properly in the software.

Alkamel​

GPS Speed​

➔ Complete Help section

We have reworked our GPS speed graphs section. Mainly we have adapted the default settings to be best suited for endurance racing and Alkamel protocol. The help file has been reworked as well to better explain each settings and to use the feature.

Retired status​

The status of retired car will be displayed in the Status column of the main scoreboard:

Focus on reference car​

➔ Complete Help section

There is now an option to zoom on a car on the track map:

The track map will then follow the selected car around the track:

Track limit​

➔ Complete Help section

A new display was added called Track Limit warning:

This display helps with the monitoring of track limits for specific series.

Track limit counters were also added to the main scoreboard and the driver scoreboard.

Also laps invalidated are now recorded and the scoreboard and ranking are also updated accordingly.

Live crossing order​

➔ Complete Help section

We have added the gap for the ghost cars by showing the expected time to the car in front and to the car behind.

Lap analysis scoreboard​

➔ Complete Help section

In the lap analysis scoreboard we can now display the position of the reference car for the lap time and each sector instead of the time itself. The position is either taken in relation to all cars or just the displayed cars. This allows to compare the ranking for an entire category or a manufacturer:

Main scoreboard past sectors​

➔ Complete Help section

We have added a new option in the Scoreboard backstage option to reset all sectors following a lap:

The idea behind it is to simplify the scoreboard view especially in a series with a lot of sectors.

Example with the option set at False:

Example with the option set at True:

Car off track improvement​

There is now the option to play with the speed detection for the car off track when used with GPS mode:

By default the value is set at 40 kph.

There is also an option on the full track map to not activate the spotter mode. When off, cars detected by the car off track control won't show with an arrow on the full track map:

Championship scoreboard for IMSA and WEC​

➔ Complete Help section

There is now an option to display manufacturer championship points in the championship point scoreboard:

Misc​

Workbook name​

The name of the windows widget is now "Workbook Name - Project Name" instead of "Project Name - Workbook Name". It is now possible to view the workbook name when selecting it from the taskbar:

Apply filter to all controls​

We have added an option to apply a filter to all controls (scoreboards and maps):

Protocol sanity check​

When loading a replay, there is now a check in case the championship configuration activated is not compatible with the replay file:
