X2 System
The X2 system is the next generation MYLAPS platform for Car, Motorbike and Kart racing. It offers extensive insights in race activity, track status and more.
✔ Top Speed Accuracy ✔ Sports: ✔ Closed Circuit Racing
The X2 Timing & Data System and X2 Link provides new features to everyone who’s involved in racing. Race tracks, timekeepers and federations get a more stable system with detailed track information and racers get to access live race data, which can be published to racer’s own on-board displays.
Timing Setup
The X2 system offers many features to timers. With the automated timing setup timekeepers and tracks can easily create results and publish them online. That way racers can check, analyze and share their performance data in their personal online account. The automated timing system also adds to the safety at the track.
Check out the system setup options:
X2 Server
All X2 components are connected to the X2 server. This center piece is the connection to the X2 Cloud and controls the entire system. The X2 Utility can be used to control the X2 server. The server has a built-in practice mode that allows automatic uploads of practice results to mylaps.com.
X2 Decoder
The decoder determines the exact time at which each transponder passes the detection loops. The decoder sends this data to the server.
Detection Loop
Detection loops are embedded in the track’s surface at the start and finish line and at intermediate timing points along the track. A detection loop works as the system’s antenna. It picks up signals from the transponders and passes them through to the decoder.
TR2 Transponder
The TR2 Transponders is the newest and most innovated transponder for motorsports. Reliable hardware, easy subscription management via Bluetooth and the Speedhive App and flexible subscription options to fit your needs.
Orbits Software
Orbits 5 is exclusively developed for X2 and optimized for timekeeping at all levels, from basic to semi-professional timekeeping.
Speedhive Live Timing
Optimize your race experience with real-time results! Get the most out of your race event by broadcasting live race results to your fans and followers. With the new Speedhive Live Timing Web you’re fully equipped for your upcoming races.
Charger Case
The X2 Charger Case is the ideal solution for timekeepers, race day organizers and race tracks. It can charge up to 30 X2 Transponders simultaneously and quickly – they fully charge in 4 hours.
X2 RaceLink Club
Via the X2 RaceLink add-on, racers will be able to receive 2-way communication into their vehicles. RaceLink works with MYLAPS X2 Direct Power Transponders. Live race data will be displayed on an onboard display. X2 Link offers additional features and is not required to do timekeeping only. However, we do encourage tracks and series to offer X2 Link as it adds to the racing experience of racers.
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 Driver ID
The all-new X2 Driver ID is the number one solution for endurance racing to time multiple drivers from the same vehicle. Simplify your timekeeping with the X2 Driver ID and allow up to 5 different drivers to race in one single car. The racer only has to press the button of the X2 Driver ID to send TR2 Transponder based driver changes information from the vehicle to the timekeeper.
The X2 Driver ID
- Identity up to 5 different drivers
- Supports helmet plug and rotary switch
- Has an extra connector for analog communication to the TR2 Direct Power Transponder, helmet plug and rotary switch
- Brightness adjustment for night racing
- Compatible with the X2 (Pro) Direct Power Transponder (Car/Bike) and the new TR2 Direct Power Transponder (Car/Bike)
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.
- Basic system component
- Full experience
- Optional component

✔ Events using the X2 Timing system
Transponders
To be able to track lap times, you need a transponder. This transponder is attached to the vehicle during the race and is detected every time the racer passes a X2 System loop in the track.
The TR2 Transponder offers a better and smoother design with a Bluetooth connection to easily register and activate the device through your Speedhive app.
The TR2 Transponder is available as a rechargeable or a direct power version. The TR2 Transponder Direct Power is connected to the battery of the vehicle which powers the transponder. You only need to install the TR2 Transponder Direct Power once to your vehicle and you can then easily manage your subscription via the Speedhive App, while the transponder stays installed.

Sports
Timekeeping at car races is a tough challenge. Racers are demanding and results must be undisputed. MYLAPS offers the most reliable and accurate timing system: the X2 System. This system offers many features to car racers. For instance, they can check, analyze and share their performance data on their personal account online.
Car RacingTimekeeping at high-speed events like motorcycle racing is a tough challenge. Speeds of well over 300 km/h are hard to measure and finishes can be extremely close. And, with the overtaking that takes place at motorcycle races, it can be difficult to keep track of everyone’s race position.
Motorcycle RacingKart racing events are often packed with training sessions, qualification runs and races. Making sure every racer is classed in the right category and racers receive the correct results is a challenging task - and requires a great timing system.
KartingMX racing is one of the most popular racing disciplines. And we can see why: it is all about speed, dirt and jumps. Timekeeping can be tough in difficult weather conditions, especially in sports such as mx racing, lawnmower racing, snowcross and enduro, where racing takes place in mud or snow.
