The upcoming sections illustrate some Apex Trigger examples with respect to the FormulaForce application. They utilize the Drivers and Contestants Domain classes included in the sample code for this chapter, along with the following new fields:

• In the Driver__c object, a new field called ShortName__c as a Text type, with a maximum size of three characters, has been created.
• In the Race__c object, there is a new field called Status__c as a Picklist type, with the Scheduled, In Progress, Red Flagged, and Finished values. The default value is scheduled by ticking the Use first value as default value checkbox.
