MyLaps RC4 Transponder and Protocol

Having brought you photos of the new AMBrc transponder a month ago, the Dutch company have released the complete information on the new RC4 Hybrid Transponder and new communication protocol under the MyLaps name. Because the new MyLaps RC4 Timing System will not be available at all clubs and tracks at once, the MyLaps RC4 Hybrid Transponder has been released to make life easier for everyone. It works on the new MyLaps RC4 Timing System, so you are well prepared but is also 100% backwards compatible, working on all current Mylaps RC2 and RC3 Timing Systems.

Honigl TQ’s and wins Expert World GT in Cleveland

Calandra Racing Concepts drivers Hupo Honigl and Aaron Buran finished 1-2 at the 30th Annual U.S. Indoor Championship in Cleveland, Ohio. Both drivers used the CRC Gen-X 10 car to take a convincing win in the hotly contested World GT division. From pole position, Hupo led every lap and was not pressured until very late in the run when a charging Buran really started to close in. Buran worked through traffic and found himself hot on the heels of the T.Q. driver Honigl by the end of the race.
