Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, a leading race track in Germany, has made significant strides in enhancing safety and operational control with the installation of the cutting-edge MYLAPS X2 Race Control system including 16 digital flag panels.
Motorsport Arena Oschersleben has recently upgraded its track by installing 16 MYLAPS LED panels. These ultra-bright digital flag panels are strategically placed around the circuit, replacing traditional flagging stations. They display flags and important warnings, allowing drivers to respond quickly to changing conditions. This advancement reduces the need for flag marshals to be in risky areas, improving overall safety for personnel. The LED panels offer excellent visibility in any weather, ensuring drivers always have up-to-date track status information right in front of them. The LED Panels can be controlled from the race control or with the LED Panel Controller for marshals. Fully compliant with FIA &FIM regulations, the controller has a clear view on current, previous and upcoming flag status.
Additionally, the circuit now features a LED Info Panel, providing track information during races and practices. It can display Black Flag notices, Penalty Laps / Stops, Time or Laps to Go, countdown clocks, corporate logos, and video playback.
Having utilized the reliable MYLAPS timing system and transponders, which are used by renowned motorsport organizations like MotoGP, WEC, IndyCar, and NASCAR, the team at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben understands the significance of incorporating established technologies to enhance accuracy and safety.
Making Racing Safer
Ensuring the safety of everyone involved in racing events is a top priority. When planning the track, Motorsport Arena Oschersleben made sure to include spacious gravel beds and run-off areas. Introducing X2 Race Control with LED Panels to the circuit will take safety to the next level for spectators, racers, and personnel.
Ralph Bohnhorst, former European Sidecar Champion and current CEO of Oschersleben, announced the installation of X2 Race Control at the track. “We are thrilled with this recent upgrade,” Bohnhorst stated. “Enhancing safety on the track is a top priority for us and with the Grade 2 LED panels, drivers react faster to changes, making racing safer for everyone.”
