The runner's live position and pace-derived ETA at each CP lets you time your drives between stations precisely — you're never waiting two hours or arriving late.
→ no wasted hours in a car park
Fuelling plan → Shopping list
The runner's hourly carb, sodium, and fluid targets become a concrete shopping list for you — what to buy, in what quantities, for which checkpoint.
