X2 Race Control – Live Data
The Live Data module in X2 Race Control allows live 2-way communication between vehicles, race control, teams, broadcasters, and scrutineers.
Send and Receive Live Data
Being able to send and receive live data opens up whole range of possibilities to improve performance.
- Get insights in race and vehicle performance
- Pit crew can monitor individual and overall performance during the race
- Open CANbus for 2-way communication (Tire Pressure / Rev / Balance of Performance / Cockpit temperature / Battery Management)
- Zoom in on specific racers to see live speed and vehicle performance to help scrutineering and ensure fair play (speed limits: code 60, virtual safety car, pit speed)
- Broadcast live data to spectators, online followers & pit crews
Live 2-way communication between vehicles, race control, teams, broadcasters, and scrutineers. Data is streamed via RF over the CAN Bus, so can be fully customized to your needs. Think of relevant pit crew data, like tire pressure, RPM, balance of performance, rev, cockpit temperature, battery status. Send vital live results (lap times, positions, gaps to front and back) to the drivers’ display. Live data can also be used by broadcasters to enhance the race experience for fans, showing series specific information such as boost status. Series and Championships can not only reduce mechanical failure incidents, but also gain potential value opportunities through presentation of the data by Partners.

X2 Baselink
The BaseLink sends out radio frequency signals, which are picked up by the X2 RaceLink antennas mounted on each vehicle. The BaseLink is installed at the start/finish line, on a position with a maximum line of sight, for instance on top of a finish arch. This will ensure an optimized wireless connection with the RaceLink installed on the vehicles.The BaseLink connects to the LoopBox, which also powers the BaseLink. The Ethernet port connection to the LoopBox ensures a high-quality signal.
Multi BaseLink setups
With a Multi BaseLink setup, you can cover the complete track, no matter what size, height difference, and terrain. Several X2 BaseLinks can be linked together and controlled by race control. Depending on the layout, environment, and location the number of X2 BaseLinks required may vary.
