Welcome to START – Sheffield RC Racing’s New Booking System
Welcome to START, our new online booking system!
We’ve moved to an on-site booking system to make it easier for racers and the SRC team to organise and plan future race meetings.
To help you get STARTed, we’ve put together this step-by-step guide explaining how to create an account, book into a meeting and cancel a booking if your plans change.
1. Create an Account
Before you can book into a race meeting, you’ll need an active account on the Sheffield RC Racing website.
To get started:
-
Click on the Racer Menu on the website. This will take you to the login page.
-
Select Create an Account.
-
Complete the registration form using the information below.
Registration form:
-
Name: Enter your full name.
-
Username: This is what you’ll use to log in to the website. It will also be displayed when you book into a meeting. We recommend using a format such as
firstname.surname. You can change your username at a later date if you wish. -
Password: Your password must meet the following minimum requirements:
-
At least 8 characters
-
At least 1 number
-
At least 1 symbol
-
At least 1 uppercase letter
-
At least 1 lowercase letter

-
Email: Enter your email address.
Once you’ve submitted the registration form, you’ll receive an activation email containing a link to activate your account.
Important: You must activate your account before you can book into a meeting. If you can’t find the email, check your junk or spam folder.
2. Find a Meeting and Book In
Once your account is active, you’re ready to book into a race meeting!
-
Select Events & Booking In from the website menu.
-
Find the meeting you want to attend.
-
Click on the meeting title or the Details link to view the event information.
-
On the meeting details page, look for the BOOK IN button.
-
If you’re logged in, clicking this button will take you to the event registration form.
If you’re not logged in, you may need to log in before continuing.
3. Complete Your Meeting Registration
On the event registration form, you’ll need to provide your racing details.
-
Select your class: Choose the class you intend to race in.
-
Enter your PT number: Add your PT (Personal Transponder) number.
-
Name visibility: Tick the Name Visibility option if you’re happy for other members to see that you’ve booked into the meeting.
-
Additional racers: You can register more than one person using a single booking. If you do, please include the additional racer’s name and any other relevant details in the Notes section.
-
Terms and conditions: Read and accept the terms and conditions.
-
Register: Press Register to complete your booking.
Once registered, your entry will be recorded in the system.
Please remember: If you’re booking in multiple racers, make sure you include all the necessary details in the Notes section so the SRC team knows who is attending.
4. Cancel a Booking
If you can no longer attend a meeting, please cancel your booking so the SRC team can keep the entry list up to date.
To cancel your booking:
-
Log in to the website using the Racer Menu.
-
Go to Events & Booking In.
-
Find the meeting you previously booked into and open its details page.
-
Look for the Cancel link.
-
Confirm that you want to cancel your booking.
Your entry will then be removed from the meeting.
Please cancel your booking as soon as you know you can’t attend. This helps the SRC team plan the meeting and keep the entry list accurate.
