Why Choose Adaptronic

At Adaptronic we have found an off-the-shelf cellular router which allows you to get data out of your race car and onto your laptop for race series which allow this. Best of all:

1. You don't need line of sight between the pit garage and the whole track
2. No radio licence is required
3. No interference with normal driver radio, race control and other radio channels

Of course, read the regulations of the event to ensure that it's allowed before you run it. Currently it is one-way only (allowing you to get some live data out of the ECU) but we are working on getting 2-way data working as well.

The Adaptronic MX5 (Cathy) at World Time Attack 2011

This was our first race meeting ever so it was a great exprience. The 2011 World Time Attack Challenge was an excellent event, as anyone who could attend will tell you.

The competition is run in three classes; Pro (big budget race teams), Open (highly modified race cars) and Clubsprint (street registered, no engine conversions, and must be driven by the registered owner). All classes must run on street legal treaded tyres. The main rule is that the fastest lap wins!

The best lap time we managed was 1'44"178, which placed us 39 out of 60 in Open class. Our main limitations were lack of preparation time for setting up suspension, wheel alignment, braking optimisation and so on. Being our first race meeting we were perhaps a little naive in estimating the amount of preparation work required!

Special thanks to all our sponsors!

Adaptronic enters World Time Attack Challenge 2011

Adaptronic is entering the World Time Attack Challenge at Eastern Creek, Sydney on August 5 - 6, 2011. Although four wheel drive turbos traditionally rule the Time Attack scene, we've chosen a rear wheel drive platform more traditionally known for its circuit record and nimbleness. etc etc, some background about Mazda MX5s / Mazda Miata in the US - we're using a 1990 model, originally a 1.6L.

This car started life as a 1.6L 1990 model NA MX5, and was purchased with significant body damage at an auction as an ECU test platform in 2006. Later on, the engine was upgraded to the 1.8L BP engine.

And now, a week before the World Time Attack 2011 happens, we are on our last few touches painting her with matte black finish looking even more like a serious race car.
