With an open platform and customizable architecture, you can collect the data that is important to you, without a multi-page manual or multi-day seminars. Real-time telemetry via onboard WiFi, Bluetooth, or 3.5G GSM cellular gives you access now to the data that makes the difference, while on track when it really matters. The next generation in motorsports telemetry has arrived.

Live-stream your racing to Podium, where you can perform real-time analysis on engine, chassis and driver performance. Share and compare your laps with friends, colleagues, and race coaches around the world. Learn more at https://podium.live

3.5G Cellular Telemetry

The on-board, high performance, worldwide-capable 3.5G GSM cellular module provides real-time streaming of telemetry data to the Podium cloud platform, enabling access to the live-stream from the pits or anywhere in the world. Visit http://podium.live for details.

Mission Critical GPS with multi-GNSS and automatic dead reckoning

An advanced multi-band GNSS receiver is included, with automatic dead reckoning capabilities to provide highly reliable positioning, even when subjected to intermittent interference or loss of satellites due to aggressive terrain or obstructions. The receiver concurrently tracks GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo GNSS systems and supports update rates to 20Hz (up-sampled to 25Hz). Position, speed, altitude, distance and GPS statistics are provided in the telemetry stream and log file.

Predictive Lap Timing

100’s of tracks available worldwide combined with on-board predictive lap timing provides real-time feedback to the driver.

With the included interactive track map builder you can be assured you can roll up to your favorite track and get the lap times and statistics you need.

6 Axis Accelerometer and Gyro

Get 3-axis G-force plus Yaw / Pitch and Roll using the on-board high performance 6 axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) – use it to analyze peak cornering G’s, or detect oversteer / understeer situations.

WiFi and Bluetooth Connectivity

802.11bgn WiFi connectivity provides access to streaming data as well as remote configuration using the included RaceCapture app. RaceCapture/Apex can act as both an Access Point as well as operate in client mode. The included Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity provides a high-speed link to Android compatible devices.

Dual CAN bus

Two CAN 2.0 compliant channels are available, providing baud rates up to 1MBPS. CAN bus data can be mapped to channels using built in OBD-II, direct CAN channel mapping, or custom logic mapping via Lua scripting.

Software controlled CAN termination

A RaceCapture exclusive: with a flip of a switch in the RaceCapture App you can enable or disable built-in CAN termination – no external resistors to add, switches to flip, or jumpers to set.

Powerful ECU and sensor integration

CAN OBDII support, direct mapping of CAN channels from ECUs such as Motec, Link, AEM, and Bosch, support for sensor networks and OEM CAN data streams are all supported with RaceCapture/Apex. Two CAN channels allows for maximum flexibility when designing your sensor network.

Analog, Digital and GPIO output capabilities

8 external 0-5v analog inputs with 12 bit ADC, 4 channel timers for measuring RPM or frequency and 3 general purpose I/O ports for low speed inputs or controlling outputs up to 1A. (open drain)

Onboard SD card logging

A micro-SD card slot is provided  for on-board data acquisition file recording. 32GB SDHC cards are supported.

USB Connectivity

A standard USB interface for direct connection for configuration, telemetry monitoring, and firmware upgrades.

GoPro™  Camera Control

Use the built-in WiFi capabilities to control a WiFi-enabled GoPro camera using a speed-based trigger, allowing precise synchronization between data and video.

RaceCapture App – included

Create your own dashboard and feed your sensor data to the gauges you customize.  Show predictive lap times with real-time +/- delta feedback vs. your best lap, and instantly review your laps right as you come off track. It’s all built-in to the RaceCapture app with user-friendly, touch optimized experience, and it’s easy to get set up and going!

The RaceCapture app works on the devices you love – with Android, iOS, Windows and OSX support. Monitor critical engine data in real time with your iPad or Android tablet standing right at your race car, or run it on a big screen with your Windows or OSX machine to analyze your lap data.

Visualizations for specialty sensors

Got special sensors, like tire and brake temperature? We have a dedicated view just for that.

Built in analysis features

Instantly review your laps and runs with the built-in, touch-optimized analysis capabilities – right on your Android or iOS device!

Extensibility through Lua Scripting

On-board scripting provides unprecedented customization through a powerful yet simple on-board Lua Scripting runtime. The real-time Virtual / Math channels incorporating logic and formulas, CAN and RS232 serial communications, and access to the system’s input and output ports provide flexible integration and opportunities for custom logic without requiring custom firmware.

Ruggedized for harsh environments

IP65 rating provides protection against dust and moisture. Power and signaling is provided via dual 12 pin Deutsch connectors and dual SMA connections for 3.5G telemetry and GPS.
