Nowadays everything is measured in applications. From the bank to relationships; From the most prosaic to the highest, nothing seems to escape being managed at the touch of a touch screen. So things, each and every one of the most disparate hobbies finds an accessible ally in new technologies. A complement to the usual Sunday workshop or concentration gatherings, with which fans of the classics can more easily share their data and interests.
The most practical tools when it comes to marking routes where you can twist the chassis at will, scan the panorama or, simply, share time with other motorsport fans. And that if you are thinking of driving as a form of leisure, since it is also there are others more attached to the day to day as Drivvo -with statistics on spending on insurance, maintenance and gasoline- or e park -devised to find parking easily-.
However, today we are going with an application designed for lovers of the classics. We are talking about the newly released barnfindex. An ideal instrument for times of pandemic, since it affects the creation of virtual events to present previously registered cars. Being able to create a profile of the car instead of the user, confidentiality is gained, but virtual garages are also created in which the really existing cars are presented. Thus, you can attend virtual rallies, publicizing your car while discovering others.
BARNFINDEX. WHAT PREMIUM IS THE CAR
One of the characteristics of barnfidex is that you do not see the users, but the cars. Far from being a social network with personal profiles, here each profile corresponds to a car and not a person. Thus, the first step to enter this new application would be digitize the history of your car with photos, data sheet, restoration and maintenance history ... All focused on the protagonist being really each car. Once this first step is done, the most suitable for times of pandemic and social distancing arrives: digital events.
With the possibility of creating specific concentrations, Barnfindex opens as the perfect door to discover very specific cars. For example, you can make a single-brand fit, or even a single model. Would you like to put together different cars with the same type of traction or engine position? You can. You have a multitude of possibilities to create all kinds of thematic rallies in which to display your car, find similar ones or form a community with fans of very specific themes.
Also, you sure have it easy. And, despite the newness of the application, some 2.000 cars have already been registered with the forecast of reaching more than 20.000 by the end of this 2021. With these figures, in Barnfindex there is undoubtedly a large enough profile to generate interesting events without having to leave home. In them there is the possibility to vote for the best vehicles, being able to win prizes if you are one of the most outstanding. Prizes offered by sponsors represented by spare parts, brands or insurance companies and clubs.
BARNFINDEX FOR THE HOUSE. ROADSTR FOR ASPHALT
The launch of barnfindex It was produced this same month of January, responding to the need to continue enjoying the classics virtually in the midst of this situation of perimeter and social distancing. A certain substitute for the typical weekend rallies that we hope to see again shortly. However, beyond the sofa there are other applications in which to consult interesting routes as well as contact enthusiasts in the area.
In that sense, one of them is RoadStr. Although they continue to be updated with news such as its recent application focused on motorcyclists, the truth is that they have been working for a while. For us, the most interesting thing about this application is the possibility of indexing roads of those that you can only enjoy if they have previously been discovered. Twisty routes through country roads where you can make the most of the dynamic possibilities of your car while you put your driving skills to the test, always within the legal limits.
In addition, through the roadsharing option - road sharing - it is easy to plan outings with other fans. A very useful tool to share your driving day with other enthusiasts in the area. Something that will have to wait a little longer due to the times, but that you can supply with the virtual concentrations that they propose to you from Barnfindex. The first application specifically focused on the world of classic motorsports.
