An electronic solution FOR drafting

RaceRanger is delivered at events in the same way a timing company delivers timing services. Each athlete at an event is given 2 devices to fit to their bike before a race.

BASED ON ATHLETE FEEDBACK, THE LIGHTS COLOURS VISIBLE TO THE FOLLOWING RIDER HAVE BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE BELOW VIDEO WAS MADE. COLOURS / PATTERNS ARE NOW:

ORANGE WARNING (SOLID) = DRAFT ZONE + 5M (17-14m for a 12m Zone)

BLUE WARNING (SOLID) = DRAFT ZONE + 2M (14-12m for a 12m Zone)

RED (FLASHING) = IN THE DRAFT ZONE (within 12m for a 12m Zone)

 

"I was so excited when I first heard about RaceRanger. I love to race non-drafting races but unfortunately it doesn’t always feel like the fair race it should be. RaceRanger has the potential to change that giving us clear guidelines and visual signage to the actual situation. I love it! "

Lisa Norden, Olympic Silver Medallist & Ironman Lake Placid Champion

RaceRanger takes away the guess-work around the drafting distance for athletes and referees. A rider is shown a light indication on the rear of the bike in front which changes colour as the distance between them changes.

ORANGE (SOLID) = FIRST WARNING 17 - 14m for a 12m Zone

BLUE (SOLID) = LAST WARNING 12 - 14m for a 12m Zone

RED (FLASHING) = DRAFTING Within 12m for a 12m

 

 

Highly accurate, consistent, and reliable. 10cm accuracy or better, and up to 10x measurements per second. As lifetime triathletes, we know the system must work the first time, every time to be truly trusted. 

Gives referees visibility of drafting activity remotely. They view drafting data on a tablet app. Athletes will no longer know when they are being watched.

 

“We could have really used this back in the 80’s and early 90’s, when some of the big races turned into absolute draft fests. I swam and rode my ass off at the world champs twice! only to be swallowed up by massive packs at 35K.  I could hear the whizzing freewheels of the guys in the pack coming up behind me. That was it for me.” 

— Scott Molina, 1988 Hawaii Ironman World Champion
