If you’ve been reviewing the NWRC Quick Guide to the Richta Competitor app, then you already know it will either make a warbling sound or announce your score. There is a helpful sound check feature in the app allowing you to check/adjust sound volume. The catch is that the settings menu where this feature can be found is not accessible until you have registered the app for an event.
There’s a sample event you can use!
Open the Competitor app and select the event titled Test My Competitor GPS.
Enter a car number between 1 and 200. If the number has been used since the test event was purged, select another number. Leave the password field blank. Press Save.
Now you see the screen as it appears while participating in the event. Rally Clock should be running, GPS data should update as you move around, and oh so importantly you can access the Settings Menu (the three dots at top right on Android).
Sound Check is an important tool if your phone is paired to your vehicle’s audio system. If you aren’t hearing anything with Sound Check, you probably need to manually select Bluetooth input.
We’ll get around to adding the test event info to the Quick Guide eventually.
