New platform combines live GPS tracking, in-car video, real-time timing, telemetry, and pit crew dashboards in one operating environment for desert racing events.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Nova Taurus today announced the launch of Race Link Live, a unified platform for off-road race coverage that combines live GPS tracking, in-vehicle video, real-time timing, telemetry, and pit crew dashboards in one browser-based operating environment.
The platform is designed for the unique challenges of off-road racing, where events take place across hundreds of miles of remote desert terrain with limited connectivity infrastructure. Race Link Live uses edge computing devices mounted in race vehicles that buffer data locally and sync via Starlink satellite connectivity when available.
"Off-road racing coverage has always been fragmented," said Mitch Jones, founder of Nova Taurus. "Fans juggle multiple apps. Teams fly blind. Producers lose control. We built Race Link Live to give everyone involved in the race — from series operators to fans — a single, real-time operating picture."
The platform captures 37 telemetry channels per vehicle, including three-axis G-forces, wheel speeds, slip ratios, brake pressure, steering angle, suspension travel, fuel consumption, and driver biometric data. It also includes an auto-director feature for broadcast producers that recommends camera cuts based on battle intensity scores.
Race Link Live has been field-tested across more than 800 race miles of live desert events, achieving 99.2% observed availability. The platform is currently available to series organizers, race teams, and sponsors.
