Each of the supported serial port timers will work with GrandPrix Race Manager and Derby Car Tracker for basic timing and reporting of the results, however, not all of the timers support some of the more advanced features of these software packages. Below is a matrix showing what features that each of the timers do support.

Note 1: These timers send lane results to the computer as each lane finishes, so the software will only wait for results from lanes that are in use, not any results from Bye lanes.
Note 2: Their single sided timers support this feature but their double sided timers do not.
Note 3: The manufacturer for RaceMaster timers is no longer in business.
