Add Sessions

Learn how to create a session within an event, such as free practice, qualifying, or a race. Sessions are where your team collects run data.

What is a session?

  • A session is one run period within an event. An event can hold several sessions, for example two free practice sessions, a qualifying session, and a race.

  • Sessions can also be used for activities that are not on track, such as simulator driving or workshop preparation.

Before you start

Make sure that:

  • A series, a season, and an event are already created (see the Events article)
  • The session names match the session names in ONE TIMING, if you want to import timing data
Session Field What it's for
Short name The name displayed in the session selection bar, for example FP1, Q1, or R1.
Session type The type of activity, such as Free Practice, Qualifying, or Race.
Start The date and time the session starts.
End The date and time the session ends.

Add sessions to an event

You can add sessions when creating an event or to an existing event.

Option 1: Add sessions when creating an event

When you create an event, you can add its sessions in the same dialog. See Add Events for instructions.

Option 2: Add a session to an existing event

  1. Go to Configuration → Admin → Events
  2. To open a session, select each level in this order:  Series → Season → Event → Session
  3. Select Add Session
  4. Enter a Name for the session. Enter a Short name to display a shorter label in the selection bar.

  5. Set the Start time and End time.

    • If your time zone differs from the event's time zone, the dialog displays a notification.
    • If the end time is earlier than the start time, the dialog displays a warning.
  6.  Select a Session type. The dialog defaults to FreePractice. 
  7. Select Save

The new session appears in the event's session list.

Edit a session

  1. Select the Edit icon on the session row.
  2. Update the details and select Save.

💡 You can also use this dialog to edit the session's Balance of Performance (BoP), points system, and team and driver championship standings.

Delete a session 

  1. Select the Delete icon on the session row
  2. Select Delete Session to confirm

⚠️ You cannot delete a session while it still has run sheets. Delete all associated run sheets first. Deleting a session cannot be undone.

 

Optional session controls

💡 To display the session times in UTC as well, select Show UTC session time.

The session list includes two optional controls: 

Previous and Next

Use these fields to link a session to another session within the same event.

ONE RACEHUB uses these links when:

  • Carrying a setup forward from an earlier session.
  • Copying a setup from the previous session to a new run.

Merge Timing Sessions

This setting is also available as Is Linked Session in the session dialog.

Enable it when a single ONE RACEHUB session needs to cover multiple ONE TIMING sessions. For example, you can use it to combine Formula E qualifying groups and duels.

What's next?

Each session holds its run data. Create a run sheet for each session to record the runs of each contestant.
