Events & Calendar
The Events page is your motorsport event calendar. It pulls events from organizations you follow through MotorsportReg, shows your registration status, and lets you browse upcoming track days, HPDEs, autocross events, clinics, and social gatherings. Navigate to Events in the sidebar to open it.
MotorsportReg integration
Events are powered by a MotorsportReg integration that syncs event data automatically. When you connect your MotorsportReg account (see Getting Started), TrackOut pulls two types of data:
- Organization events -- Public events from clubs and organizations you follow (e.g., NASA, SCCA chapters, PCA regions). These are mirrored and available to all users who follow the same organizations.
- Your registrations -- Events you have personally registered for on MotorsportReg. These are flagged with a "Registered" badge.
The sync runs in the background when you open the Events page. If an event appears in both your registrations and the organization calendar, it is merged into a single entry with the "Registered" badge applied.
No manual event creation
Events are sourced from MotorsportReg. You do not manually create events on this page. To log a specific track day with sessions and lap data, use the Track Days feature instead.
Views
The Events page supports two views, toggled from the dropdown in the top-right corner (desktop only -- mobile always shows list view).
List view
The default view shows events in a timeline list, sorted by date. Each event row displays:
- Event title with a color-coded type badge
- Registered badge (if you are signed up)
- Date with optional start time
- Location (venue name, city, and region)
- Organization name
- Register/View button linking to the MotorsportReg event page
A mini calendar sidebar appears alongside the list (on desktop, above the list on mobile). Days with events are marked with dot indicators. Click a date on the mini calendar to filter the list to only that day's events.
Calendar view
The calendar view shows a full monthly grid. On desktop, event titles appear directly in each day's cell. On mobile, days with events show dot indicators, and selecting a day displays the events below the grid.
Navigation
Use the month navigation arrows at the top to move between months. The Today button (desktop only) jumps back to the current month.
The URL updates with a ?month=YYYY-MM parameter as you navigate, so you can bookmark or share a specific month view.
Search
Use the Search events input in the header to filter events by text. Search matches against:
- Event title
- Organization name
- Venue / location name
- Venue city
Search is case-insensitive and filters results live as you type. Clear the search field to show all events again.
Filtering
Registered toggle
Click the Registered button in the header to show only events you are registered for. This filters at the data level, so the event count updates accordingly.
Bookmarked toggle
Click the Bookmarked button to show only events you have bookmarked. Bookmarks let you save events you are interested in without being registered. Toggle a bookmark by clicking the bookmark icon on any event row.
Filter popover
Click Filters to open a popover with three filter categories:
| Filter | Options |
|---|---|
| Event Type | Track Day, Autocross, HPDE, Clinic, Social |
| Organization | Populated from organizations seen across months you have browsed |
| Track | Populated from venues seen across months you have browsed |
Filters are chip-style toggles -- click to activate, click again to deactivate. Active filter count appears as a badge on the Filters button. Click Clear all inside the popover to reset.
Search, registered/bookmarked toggles, and filter chips all work together -- only events matching all active criteria are shown.
Filters persist across months
Organization and track filter options accumulate as you browse different months. If you select an organization filter and then navigate to a month where that organization has no events, the filter option remains available so you can deselect it.
Event types
Events are automatically categorized based on their title:
| Type | Color | How it is detected |
|---|---|---|
| HPDE | Blue | Title contains "hpde", "driver", or "de " |
| Autocross | Green | Title contains "autocross" |
| Track Day | Indigo | Default category when no other keywords match |
| Clinic | Amber | Title contains "clinic" or "school" |
| Social | Purple | Title contains "social" or "meet" |
Type detection is automatic -- you do not need to manually tag events.
Event details
Each event in the list shows key metadata at a glance:
- Date and time -- When the event takes place, formatted with day of week
- Location -- Venue name with city and region when available
- Organization -- The club or group hosting the event
Registration link
If the event has a MotorsportReg URL, a Register or View button appears on the right side of the event row. Clicking it opens the MotorsportReg event page in a new tab where you can register or manage your registration.
- Events you are registered for show View
- Events you are not registered for show Register
Event count
The header shows a count next to the month name:
- If you have registered events this month: "3/12 registered" (3 registered out of 12 total)
- If you have bookmarked events but no registrations: "2/12 bookmarked" (2 bookmarked out of 12 total)
- If you have neither: "12 events" (just the total count)
Empty states
- No events this month -- Displayed when no events exist for the selected month. Try navigating to a different month.
- No registered events -- Displayed when the "Registered" filter is active but you have no registrations for the current month.
- No events on [date] -- Displayed in list view when you select a date on the mini calendar that has no events.
