Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to install external beacons or transmitters at the track?
A: No. The Solo 2 uses advanced GPS and Glonass satellite constellations to track your position, meaning you do not need to set up any beacons or wires at the track. It automatically detects the start/finish line once you begin driving.
Q: How does the Solo 2 help me improve my lap times?
A: The device features configurable RGB LEDs that provide real-time feedback. They flash green when you are faster than your reference lap and red when you are slower, allowing you to adjust your driving style instantly. It also predicts your lap time so you can see the impact of your line choices immediately.
Q: What happens if I race at a track that isn't in the database?
A: The Solo 2 features a smart learning mode. If you arrive at a circuit not included in its global database of over 2,000 tracks, the device will automatically recognize that you are on a new track and begin mapping the start/finish line and sectors as you drive.
Q: Can I analyze my data after the race?
A: Yes. The Solo 2 allows for on-device data recall for a quick review. For a deeper dive, you can download your session data via USB to your computer to analyze splits, speed traps, and G-force data to refine your technique.
Q: Is the Solo 2 waterproof?
A: Yes, the Solo 2 is built with a rugged, waterproof design, making it perfectly suited for the demanding environment of karting and open-cockpit racing.
