RaceLink Information

INTRODUCTION

The RaceLink technology improves the current bi-directional communication between the Timing Servers and the vehicles CAN bus and the connection covers the complete circuit instead of just the moments whilst passing the timing loops. This allows Race Control and Timing messages sent to the bike to be received immediately, at any point of the circuit.

The internal GPS on the RaceLink will provide live data on the real position of every vehicle (bikes, medical and safety cars) with a RaceLink installed. It allows Race Control to see the live position of all vehicles at any moment. During the races, even if the X2 transponders fail, it is possible to check if bike is stopped and where is it, if it is still on track or if it is being transported back to pit lane. This will help Race Direction with the automatization of crash detection and procedure. It is also useful for an easy view of a track cut or track limits penalty.

The RaceLink is NOT used for official timing – the X2 Transponder must remain correctly fitted and operating at all times.
