External Antenna

Available to purchase directly from Racelogic or the online store, the external aerial which plugs into the back of DriftBox is a useful addition, and essential for cars which have an athermic or anti-UV coated windscreen.

Using an external antenna on the vehicle's roof, DriftBox will have a less obstructed view of the sky. This will improve satellite reception if the area in which you are operating is heavily tree lined or built up, and can help to minimise drop-outs in logged data.


Windscreen Mount

Should you wish to transfer DriftBox from one car to another without having to remove the windscreen mount these are available as an accessory. The advantage in having a second mount is in not having to recalibrate DriftBox whenever it is transferred.


Serial Cables

When DriftBox diagnostic mode is active the RS232 serial port outputs NMEA standard format GPS information. This makes it directly compatible for use as GPS input to mapping software programs for navigation use.

The NMEA serial cable plugs into the port on the back of DriftBox and has a standard 9-way D plug at its end for connection to a suitably equipped laptop or PDA.

DriftBox also transmits live data on its serial port when it is in Drift Practice Mode. Any other devices with a serial input, such as a video overlay unit, can use this data. The telemetry/overlay serial cable plugs into the port on the back of DriftBox and has a standard 9-way D plug at its end for connection to suitable equipment. This cable is also supplied with the Telemetry Kit - see below.


Radio

DriftBox Telemetry will “score” your drifting, giving valuable feedback on angle, g-force and speed. To allow the DriftBox to be used in competitions, the radio telemetry system sends results instantly from any number of DriftBoxes to a single laptop, helping more accurate “on the spot” decisions to be made by a judging panel.

The radio can transmit up to 3.5km, and up to 99 DriftBoxes can be used at the same time. One radio is needed per car, and one radio is needed for the receiving laptop. The receiving radio can be powered from the mains or the supplied battery pack, whilst the transmitting unit is powered by DriftBox itself.



Battery

The battery pack is an excellent solution if DriftBox is being used in a vehicle with no power supply. Rated at 2Ahr, the battery will provide up to eight hours of continuous use from a full charge.

Also included is a mains charger, with adaptors for use worldwide.
