Google Earth - How to work with the tracking data

After you loaded the network link, you'll see every athlete as a separate folder labeled by team and pilot name. In every folder you find tracking data grouped by the race day split into 6 hour chunks. The entire folder structure is reloaded every ±15 minutes, offering you an almost real-time experience.

Double click on a folder to see the data on the map and dive into the world of the Red Bull X-Alps pilots!
