TELEMETRY DEVICES FAQ

Telemetry devices are innovative tools built on open-source hardware, designed to provide live streaming of telemetry data from cars during track days and races. These devices utilize LTE modem technology to transmit data in real-time, allowing users to monitor and analyze various performance metrics directly from their vehicles.

Our telemetry devices stand out as the most affordable option on the market, offering live streaming capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. Built on open-source hardware, they provide users with unprecedented access to real-time data insights without breaking the bank.

Yes, there are two types of telemetry devices available. One variant features a screen, allowing users to display lap times of other drivers on the track in real-time. The other variant does not have a screen but streams data similarly to the one with a screen. However, users cannot view lap times in real-time directly from the device.

The telemetry device with a screen enables users to view real-time lap times of other drivers on the track, enhancing the competitive experience and facilitating performance comparison. On the other hand, the variant without a screen focuses solely on streaming data without providing real-time lap time displays, offering a more streamlined and cost-effective solution for users primarily interested in data analysis.

The telemetry devices utilize LTE modem technology for data transmission, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity even in remote or challenging environments.

Our devices come equipped with hologram.io SIM cards for data transmission. However, users have the option to opt-in and use their own data plans if preferred, offering flexibility and choice in connectivity options.

Telemetry devices can be purchased directly from the Racetrack Hero website. They require an annual subscription, the price of which is dependent on the selected data plan (own or hologram.io). Users can choose the plan that best suits their needs and budget.

The telemetry device is equipped with a simple OBD dongle, allowing it to extract OBD data such as throttle position, RPMs, and brake pressure from the vehicle. This data provides valuable insights into the car’s performance and driver behavior.The telemetry device is equipped with a simple OBD dongle, allowing it to extract OBD data such as throttle position, RPMs, and brake pressure from the vehicle. This data provides valuable insights into the car’s performance and driver behavior.

Operating the telemetry device is incredibly simple and user-friendly. It does not even have a power button; users just need to plug it into the cigarette DC output in their vehicle, and it seamlessly works in the background, transmitting live data without any hassle.

Telemetry devices offer users the opportunity to gain valuable insights into their driving performance, track progress over time, and compare data with other drivers. By analyzing telemetry data, users can identify areas for improvement, optimize their driving techniques, and ultimately enhance their overall performance on the track.
