01 · Traffic ahead
Vehicle-ahead state and required action.
Core identifies eligible traffic using the assigned vehicle, class and course. Distance, speed, freshness and closing information can be included when available.
Race Link Core
Course, traffic and safety in the vehicle.
Race Link Core gives drivers course, traffic, passing, hazard, caution and SOS information. It links each state to the assigned driver, vehicle and class, reports delivery and acknowledgements to Race Control, and preserves records through gaps in connectivity.

System context
Each Core unit is assigned to a vehicle, driver, class and course.
That assignment determines which traffic matters, which passing rules apply, which course zones are active and where alerts should be delivered. Race Control works from the same vehicle and course context.

Driver interface
Driver display states.
Core uses high-contrast screens, short labels and physical controls so drivers can read and respond with minimal interaction.
02 · Passing
A pass request from a specific vehicle.
The display shows the request and the physical action available to the driver. Acknowledgement, timeout and cooldown states are retained for review.
03 · Course control
A Race Control hazard with a required action.
Signed course-control commands identify the active condition and tell the driver whether to slow, continue or acknowledge.
04 · SOS
Race Control acknowledgement returned to the driver.
The display keeps the emergency status visible and confirms when Race Control has acknowledged the report.

Operating examples
What Core does during the race.
These examples show how vehicle assignment, driver displays and Race Control status work together.
A faster vehicle closes on traffic
Core selects eligible traffic and applies the event's passing rules.
- Vehicle-ahead identification
- Targeted request and acknowledgement
- Timeout, cooldown and event record
A vehicle stops beside the course
Core warns approaching drivers with distance and left/right course position.
- Driver or Race Control report
- Location-specific warning
- Acknowledgement and incident record
Primary connectivity is unavailable
Core retains local course functions and queues records for synchronization.
- Local course and zone states
- Configured mesh or satellite path
- Store-and-forward synchronization
Race Control status
Delivery and acknowledgement are visible.
For supported commands, Race Control can see whether a message was issued, received by Core, displayed to the driver, acknowledged and cleared.
- 01Issued
Race Control targets the vehicle, course area or field.
- 02Received
Core reports that the instruction reached the vehicle.
- 03Displayed
The assigned state is presented to the driver.
- 04Acknowledged
Driver interaction returns to Race Control when required.
- 05Cleared
The state closes with an authorized record.
Limited connectivity
Local functions continue and records wait for a connection.
An event can configure primary connectivity, an authenticated vehicle safety mesh, satellite fallback, local storage and store-and-forward synchronization.
PrimaryVehicle meshSatellite
Local course logic · driver state · evidence queue
Local functions
Configured course and driver functions that do not require a remote response remain available.
Connection status
The display distinguishes local information, delayed synchronization and unavailable remote functions.
Queued synchronization
Stored records are sent over an approved path when connectivity returns.
Review records
Incident, telemetry, timing and video on the same timeline.
Core records can be aligned with position, course state, driver input, Race Control actions, timing sources and available vehicle video for operations and officiating review.
- Incident and pass-request status
- Telemetry and course-state records
- Timing-source continuity
- Available video aligned to event time
