- 17 August - Any page at the wiki may be added to your personal list of favorites. ( Learn how ) Form based add/edit of racing course (track) pages.

(A 10MB file size limit will continue to apply so some .ZIP files will require special handling.)
- 6 August - I revised the ETA for race results rapid upload by 1 month.
