Introducing Surveys: Complete Race Planning from Driver Responses to Final Lineups

We're excited to announce the launch of our comprehensive Survey System, a complete solution for managing race planning from initial driver responses to final lineup creation. This powerful feature streamlines the entire process of organizing race events, collecting driver preferences, and generating optimized race lineups.

What is the Survey System?

The Survey System is a complete race planning solution that allows team managers and organizers to:

• Create Custom Surveys: Design surveys tailored to your specific race events
• Collect Driver Responses: Gather availability, car preferences, and team information
• Generate Smart Lineups: Automatically create optimized race lineups based on responses
• Manage Public Access: Share surveys with public links for easy access

Complete Workflow

Step 1: Create Your Survey

Start by creating a survey for your race event:

• Set the serie and schedule
• Select teams and drivers to include
• Set the survey title and description
• Configure availability periods (optional, default is the schedule period)

Step 2: Share with Drivers

Distribute your survey to drivers through multiple channels:

• Direct Links: Send private links to team members
• Public Access: Create public links for non-user

Step 3: Collect Responses

Drivers can easily respond to surveys with:

• Availability Selection: Choose from fully available, partially available, or unavailable
• Time Periods: Specify exact availability windows for partial availability
• Car Preferences: Select preferred cars and car classes
• Additional Notes: Add comments or special requirements

Step 4: Review Responses

Monitor response progress with comprehensive analytics:

• Response Rates: Track completion percentages by team
• Availability Overview: Visual timeline of driver availability
• Car Distribution: Charts showing car and car class preferences
• Team Statistics: Detailed breakdowns by team and driver

Step 5: Generate Lineups

Use the intelligent Lineup Builder to create optimal race lineups:

• Smart Suggestions: Automatically generate lineups based on responses
• Conflict Detection: Prevent overlapping assignments and scheduling conflicts
• Customization: Edit and adjust generated lineups as needed
• Final Creation: Convert lineups into actual race plannings
