Yup, Remote telemetry for the car and a UHF radio antenna for the driver communications.

As some of you know we went out for a test day on Saturday. The car was a blast and we learned a lot. Unfortunately it rained towards the end of the day but we were able to get a couple dry sessions in to check out our tire options.
The Race-Capture telemetry worked great our only complaint is the system's a little laggy. There's a 6-10 second lag and the refresh rate isn't too quick either, but considering the cost and ease of use for the whole thing those are minor complaints.



and we may have gone off a little bit

Did you present the track an invoice for the gardening?

Also - with that lag in the telemetry data - you could have quickly reloaded the data back to the car and made an adjustment to avoid the paddock.

With the bluetooth link it displays instantly in the car on a phone or tablet. We're more interested in monitoring it from the pit during the endurance races, if we can monitor the car remotely during the race that's one less thing the driver has to worry about.

As for the lawn care, I think I need to get a few of these shirts for our drivers

So RR brakes look similar to Buddy Club.. but they are sold side by side with Willwood? Are they outsourced?

I knew the BRZ would be good as a snow plow, didn't think it would be good as a lawn mower as well. I love that there are brake upgrades that are actually lighter than stock. That is great.

The RR kit uses Wilwood calipers with custom piston sizing and brackets to achieve ideal brake balance and stopping power.
