They have made new transponders such a scam. Unless you know you are using 10+ times a year, far better to rent.


$800 for new (unlocked) is absurd.

I spent 276 including a 72 dollar charge for overnight delivery with one year subscription. I do about 30 track nights a year. Rental is 25.00 EACH time.

I think these folks are in times events such as SCCA, NASA, not HPDE events, but they can correct me...

yup when i run hpde i just use my aim solo 2 but when i run with ongrid super gt cup events i have to run a transponder for legit times but its included in my fee


if i had bought a aim solo 2 5 years ago it would have paid for itself tho haha


$25 x 6 times a year = $150

A transponder emits a UNIQUE radio signal that is picked up be receivers that are placed strategically around a course. They are simply a way to very accurately measure elapsed time for a lap.

Some tracks like EAGLES CANYON having a timing loop that is on at ALL TIMES so even in HPDE events it can keep track of your lap times.

There is NO VIDEO captured, it is just elapsed times that are typically accessed by the racers thru an iphone app like MYLAPS Speedhive.
