Rally electronics

Tripmeter and rally-computer integration, navigator wiring, and install built for vibration and recovery on tarmac and gravel.

The problem

Rally is harder on electronics than circuit work. Constant impact, dust, water, and a service park instead of a clean workshop. A setup that was wired for a tidy bench fails in a stage, and the navigator is the one left without distance or timing when it matters.

How we work
  1. Plan the navigator position: tripmeter, GPS, controls and displays placed so they can be read and operated on a moving stage.
  2. Wire and mount for vibration, impact and ingress, and for fast recovery in a service park, not just for a clean bench.
  3. Integrate the tripmeter or rally computer with the car and, where wanted, with the data logging so stage data is recorded alongside vehicle telemetry.
  4. Validate over rough running before the event, not in the car park.
What you get
  • A navigator setup that survives stage conditions and can be serviced quickly between stages.
  • Integrated tripmeter, GPS and controls wired and mounted for the car.
  • Optional integration with the logger so rally data is recorded with vehicle telemetry.
Compatibility
  • Terratrip, Brantz and Monit tripmeters and similar rally computers
  • GPS, remote button inputs and navigator controls
  • CAN integration with loggers and bespoke hardware where the team wants combined data
Scrutineering

Wiring, mounting and isolation done to Motorsport Australia and AASA expectations so the rally install passes scrutineering and a log-book check.

In detail

Australian rally runs on entrenched, trusted tripmeters. We do not try to sell a better box. We make the box, the navigator and the car work together and survive the stage.

Rally electronics is an install and reliability discipline. The setup has to be readable and operable by a navigator on a moving stage, wired for constant impact, dust and water, and recoverable in a service park with limited time and tools. Most in-stage failures we see are not the instrument. They are how it was wired and mounted.

We plan the navigator position, wire and mount for the real environment, and where the team wants it, integrate the tripmeter or rally computer with the data logging so stage distance and timing are recorded alongside vehicle telemetry. It is validated over rough running before the event, and built to pass scrutineering and a log-book check.
