The sports world got up to speed again, so we can look back at a great 2022. Let's celebrate the best moments of this year! ![dancing Gif-1](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dancing%20Gif-1.gif?width=1020&height=578&name=dancing%20Gif-1.gif "dancing Gif-1") ## We've tried to put down some words about this year... > ...but as pictures say more than a thousand words, enjoy these stunning photos from sports events all over the world. ![Winner OMU Marathon](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/Winner%20OMU%20Marathon.jpg "Winner OMU Marathon") ![Screenshot 2022-12-01 123847](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-12-01%20123847.png?width=568&height=390&name=Screenshot%202022-12-01%20123847.png "Screenshot 2022-12-01 123847") ![My project-1 (22)](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/My%20project-1%20(22).png?width=568&height=390&name=My%20project-1%20(22).png "My project-1 (22)") ![20220430\_161240991\_Poznan\_1](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/20220430_161240991_Poznan_1.png "20220430_161240991_Poznan_1") ![My project-1 (23)](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/My%20project-1%20(23).png?width=568&height=262&name=My%20project-1%20(23).png "My project-1 (23)") ![imgonline-com-ua-resize-TTumMIlkDau9](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/imgonline-com-ua-resize-TTumMIlkDau9.jpg?width=568&height=262&name=imgonline-com-ua-resize-TTumMIlkDau9.jpg "imgonline-com-ua-resize-TTumMIlkDau9") ![274758591\_4859763910759970\_3340824223846611423\_n-1](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/274758591_4859763910759970_3340824223846611423_n-1.jpg "274758591_4859763910759970_3340824223846611423_n-1") ![IRONMAN0101](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IRONMAN0101.jpg?width=568&height=355&name=IRONMAN0101.jpg "IRONMAN0101") ![My project-1 (25)](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/My%20project-1%20(25).png "My project-1 (25)") ## Records and winners > ## This year has been all about creating new memories and reaching new achievements in organizing events, competing in events and following the live action.

Ok, we've got you a little there. In June, our BibTag system was succesfully used for the Guinness World Record for the largest boxing class in the world, in Mexico City. The organizers could easily count the number of attendees with the BibTag system, and there were a lot of them!   ## 14,229 attendees ![BibTagWorldrecord\_AdobeExpress](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BibTagWorldrecord_AdobeExpress.gif?width=720&height=1272&name=BibTagWorldrecord_AdobeExpress.gif "BibTagWorldrecord_AdobeExpress") ## More and more event timing ### Let's count up the numbers MYLAPS Event Timing, our in-house timers, have had a blast this year, supporting events all over the world again with their timing services.

We all know this is not without risk. That’s why we have developed X2 Race Control, a fully integrated solution to control all the action happening on the track, using real-time data (GPS location, vehicle data) to help you enhance your race control duties. We are proud that many circuits around the world are adopting our system by executing installments of one or more pillars. This year, the X2 Race Control LED Panels have been homologated by the FIA/FIM, making the system even more accessible for racing series. We are excited for for more installments in 2023! ![X2\_RaceControl\_Pillars\_6-1-1](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/X2_RaceControl_Pillars_6-1-1.png "X2_RaceControl_Pillars_6-1-1") Video player - X2\_RaceControl\_Video\_2 - Click to play video ![Speedhive-Logo-DIAP](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/Speedhive-Logo-DIAP.png "Speedhive-Logo-DIAP") ![1MILORANGE-1](https://lp.mylaps.com/hubfs/1MILORANGE-1.png "1MILORANGE-1") ## Speedhive reaching new milestones ### We want to thank all App users This year, more and more people found  their way to the Speedhive App. Whether it was to upload results, analyze track sessions or fans following the live action, more than 1.000.000 people have downloaded our App. A milestone we are proud to have achieved, together.  #### A few facts about the Speedhive platform - Car racing was the most popular sport - The U.S.A. is the most popular country - Favourite racing month of drivers is June - The event with the most racers was the Yamaha Australian Four Day Enduro bike race in 2018, with more than 16.201 participants ![glen-rushton-Uwl7TRuTZqE-unsplash](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/glen-rushton-Uwl7TRuTZqE-unsplash.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=glen-rushton-Uwl7TRuTZqE-unsplash.jpg "glen-rushton-Uwl7TRuTZqE-unsplash") ![Speedhive\_Results\_Hero\_Cover\_3](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Speedhive_Results_Hero_Cover_3.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=Speedhive_Results_Hero_Cover_3.jpg "Speedhive_Results_Hero_Cover_3") ![Speedhive1Million\_v5\_AdobeExpress](https://lp.mylaps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Speedhive1Million_v5_AdobeExpress.gif?width=714&height=402&name=Speedhive1Million_v5_AdobeExpress.gif "Speedhive1Million_v5_AdobeExpress") ## Download Speedhive ### Don't miss any updates on motorized sports.
