X2 Race Control – Marshalling
The Marshalling module in X2 Race Control gives you full control to provide warnings to drivers for dangerous situations by showing on-board and trackside flag signals.
On-board and trackside marshalling
Send on-board and trackside flagging information instantly to everyone at the same time with the X2 RaceLinks and X2 LED Panel.
- Send all common flags to vehicles on the track, including green, yellow, red and finish
- Flagging via integrated or external LED Bars or Dashboards
- Replicate all Track, Sector and Personal Flags trackside
- The X2 LED Panels are homologated by the FIA & FIM for Grade 2 circuits and lower grades
- Select the panel that meets your needs: Grade 2, Grade 3 or Non-Graded Panels
A powerful add-on to your marshalling operations. Provide extra warning to drivers for dangerous situations by showing flag signals on their dashboards and on the new MYLAPS X2 LED Panels along the circuit. With on-board marshalling drivers receive sector-based flag signals on integrated LED lights or through external displays via the X2 RaceLink Club and X2 RaceLink Pro. All common flag signals (green, red, yellow, safety car, slippery surface, etc.) are available. These marshalling solutions offer great benefits to circuits and Series/ Championships in on-track safety, in addition to defined cost savings from marshal number reduction and redeployment.

Marshalling Solution Components
X2 Link Server
The beating heart of X2 Race Control. All components are connected to and controlled from this core device. Available in Club and Pro housing.
X2 Race Control Manager
Software to improve your Race Control. This software comes in 3 versions:
- X2 Race Control Setup to manage your X2 Link setup (free)
- X2 Race Control Manager to manage your Race Control (yearly fee)
- X2 Race Control Manager Pro to manage your Race Control in an X2 Pro environment (yearly fee)
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.
- Full GPS tracking coverage
- Live results updates at the complete track
X2 Multi BaseLink and SDK 4.0
With the new X2 Server Firmware 4.0 and SDK 4.0 it is also possible to create a GPS tracking feed in your own, custom-built software.
X2 LED Panel
Shows flag signals along the track. All common flags (green, red, yellow, safety car, oil slick, etc.) are available. The X2 LED Panels are homologated by the FIA & FIM for Grade 2 and Grade 3 circuits. MYLAPS light panels are available as Grade 2, Grade 3 and Non-Graded panels.
X2 LED Panel Controller
High-end controller for marshalls to manage flag signals on X2 LED Panels. Fully compliant with FIA regulations. The controller has a clear view on current, previous and upcoming flag status. Durable design with easy to control buttons.
- Basic system component
- Full experience
- Optional component
In-Vehicle Solution Components
X2 RaceLink Club
The Racelink Club is used for live tracking of all vehicles, speed measurement, and it has integrated LED panel for on-board flag signals for drivers
X2 RaceLink Pro
Enables racers, teams, broadcasters, and scrutineers to stream live 2-way data via RF over CAN Bus, like results, tire pressure, RPM, balance of performance, rev, cockpit temperature, battery status. Also allows live tracking of all vehicles.
X2 LED Bar
The X2 LED Bar shows safety flags as communicated through RF by RaceControl. It is an add on to marshals flagging. The X2 LED Bar functions in combination with the X2 RaceLink Club or X2 RaceLink Pro.
- Basic system component
- Full experience
- Flexible component
Features
A full overview of all the features in the X2 Race Control Marshalling module.
Grade 2, Grade 3 and Non-Graded Light Panels
The main difference between the Grade 2, Grade 3 and Non-Graded light panels are FIA & FIM set requirements for minimum brightness levels, color coordinates and viewing angles for each grade. All of the MYLAPS light panels have outperformed the competition in regards to the minimum set requirements by the FIA & FIM. This means that MYLAPS light panels have a wider viewing angle, higher brightness levels and come with proven MYLAPS standards of reliability and robustness.
The flag signals on light panels can be managed by the high-end X2 LED Panel Controller. Fully compliant with FIA regulations. The controller has a clear view on current, previous and upcoming flag status. Durable design with easy to control buttons.
