The revolutionary new DriftBox available from Racer Industries is a powerful GPS based Performance meter that can also measure the drift angle of your car. At just AU$1199 you get more features included than any other system available today. Even compared with systems costing 3 times as much, the DriftBox comes out on top. Driftbox was initially developed for use in the Japanese D1 Grand Prix series to assist the judges award points during the competition, and has become in effect the fourth "Judge". Every vehicle which competes has a DriftBox fitted during each run, and the judges get a points score for each corner based on Entry speed, Drift Angle and Cornering Force. How Does DriftBox Work? Housed inside the DriftBox is a high performance 10Hz GPS engine coupled with sophisticated motion sensors. Speed, Postion, Acceleration and Drift are measured 10 times a second. To measure Drift angle, the angle the vehicle is pointing is computed using the motion sensors, and this is compared with the angle the vehicle is travelling which is computed from the GPS. DriftBox is equipped with an MMC/SD Flash memory card socket. This allows 10Hz logging of Time, Distance, Speed, Position, G-force, Lap Times, Split Times, and Drift Angle. RACER INDUSTRIES LTD |
