What's New with Version 9.0:
Version 9.0 of DerbyDMV™ adds several new features and improvements to help in getting prepared for your race and to add fun.
- User Interface
- DerbyDMV has been redesigned to make it easier to use and more intuitive.
- An Overview tab has been added to the Main screen to list the steps of using the software. This gives shortcuts to each step and lets you check off each one as you complete them.
- OS Support
- DerbyDMV now supports macOS Sierra 10.12 and above.
- Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1 and 10 (32 bit and 64 bit) are supported. Windows XP is no longer supported.
- Data File Support
- You can now directly use your GrandPrix Race Manager Version 16.0 or above data file with DerbyDMV or vice versa. No need to export your data from one app and then import into the other. Both apps can share the same data file.
- Competition Groups
- The Group and Subgroup management has been given its own tab on the Main screen for easier configuration.
- More intuitive management of groups and subgroups, including a wizard for quick setup.
- Racers

- Added the ability to renumber vehicles in bulk.
- Added an option to display the racer’s First Name then Last Name (instead of Last Name first) on the racer entry form and the racer list display.
- Manually adding racers is now faster. When you add a racer, the software will ask you if you want to add another. If so, form is cleared for the next entry to be made.
- Made using number series for each race group easier. When entering a new racer, the software will find the next number in that group’s series to use.
- Improved import process to make it easier to use an export from some other software. Any extra columns in that export, not needed by DerbyDMV, will be ignored.
