Q: Will the range on the radios be good enough for use at every race-track in Australia?

A: The radios in standard form are able to be used everywhere on track at any circuit in Australia from the pit area, the only exception being Mount Panorama.

We suggest the usage of our long range antenna kit for all radio Purchases, as this will cater for all tracks, and situations, this kit includes larger antennas for both crew and car radios, extending the range to allow for better coverage at Mount Panorama.

For the best coverage possible at Mount Panorama, we have a number of Lease Kits with LTE based Radios which offer true 100% coverage around the track which integrate directly into your pre-existing radio looms- these can be leased for Bathurst weekends on a strict first come first serve basis.

Q: Are the helmet kits designed for open face helmets or full face?

A: The helmet kit included in the basic kit we supply is able to be used in both open and full face, however we would recommend in an open face helmet a secure mounting be made within the helmet to alleviate stress on the microphone arm. We do offer an open face clip kit which can be used in open face applications.
