Live GPS Tracking
The MYLAPS X2 RaceLinks are located on-board the vehicle and record accurate and reliable real-time GPS tracking of all vehicles on the track, including safety team cars.
The live position monitoring enables faster dispatch and response times, leading to fewer track closures, better rental client service, tighter adherence to sporting regulations, and improved safety.

On-Board Flagging
On-board flagging displays personal and track flag signals such as yellow, red, or green flags, on the X2 LED Bar located in vehicles to improve driver adherence to warnings, resulting in fewer on-track incidents.
Additionally, for race control purposes, the X2 LED Bar sends back acknowledgment messages through the software to inform race control that a flag signal has been received in the vehicle.

FAQ
What is the difference between GPS race tracking and transponder lap timing?
Transponder lap timing records when a vehicle crosses fixed timing points, such as the start/finish line. GPS race tracking provides regularly updated vehicle positions around the circuit, including between those points. MYLAPS X2 RaceLinks track equipped competition and safety vehicles, giving race control visibility beyond lap and sector times.
Can race control track safety vehicles alongside competing cars?
Yes. MYLAPS X2 RaceLinks provide live GPS tracking for equipped racing vehicles and safety-team vehicles. Monitoring both helps officials locate vehicles around the circuit and coordinate safety-team dispatch and incident response. Each vehicle being tracked needs an onboard RaceLink device.
Can a live GPS race tracking system also transmit vehicle telemetry?
Yes, with suitable hardware and integration. MYLAPS X2 RaceLink Pro combines live GPS tracking with two-way wireless data transmission through the vehicle’s CAN bus. It can transmit information such as tyre pressure, engine RPM, cockpit temperature and battery status. Available data depends on the vehicle’s connected systems, while telemetry use must follow the applicable event rules.
