How does it work?

The X2 Link system consists of two components, trackside and vehicle setup. Both setups are in constant communication with each other and send/receive race data via radio frequency.

Trackside setup:

X2 Server & Decoder
Detection loop
X2 BaseLink
Orbits 5.3
Speedhive feed (data sharing & support purposes)

The Baselink sends and receives all RF communication as part of X2 Link allowing vehicles to receive:

Downlink timer information (live results)
Uplink location (GPS) information (tracking functionality)

Vehicle setup:

The X2 RaceLink is installed on the vehicle, and sends/receives race data via radio frequency to and from the BaseLink.

There are 2 types of X2 RaceLink’s:

- X2 RaceLink Club
- X2 RaceLink Pro

Live Tracking

The X2 Link’s Live Track positioning ensures that you have a clear understanding of what’s happening on the track with all vehicles using GPS.

Trackside Setup

X2 Server & X2 Decoder

The X2 Server is the beating heart of the system. All components are connected to and controlled from this core device. Meanwhile the X2 Decoder collects data from the detection loops which captures the signals that are sent via the TR2 Transpondet

X2 BaseLink

The X2 BaseLink ensures that you can accurately track live positions and send/receive messages to the vehicles on the circuit. Install multiple X2 BaseLinks on the track to get full-track coverage.
