Rally Stage Director — Rally telemetry & race management
THE PROBLEM

Rally teams read the stage from scraps

Between service and stage, a team juggles timing sheets, telemetry graphs and radio — with no single live picture of the car and the event. Rally Stage Director gives the team director one screen for the whole stage.

Two applications, one system

Rally Stage Director is delivered as 2 parts that work together.

1

In-car data collector

Android · iOS

A phone rides in the car, connected to the OBD-II port or the CAN bus, and streams live engine, GPS and motion data out to the team. Free on the app stores.

2

Team server — Stage Director

Windows · Linux

The desktop application your team centre runs: live telemetry, stage and team coordination, timing, recording and replay. This is the licensed product.

How it works

1
A phone rides onboard

At least one mobile phone travels in the car, connected to the OBD-II port or wired to the CAN bus.

2
It collects live data

The phone reads engine, GPS and motion data from the car in real time, straight from the source.

3
Streamed to the team centre

Data is transmitted over the internet to the RSD server — your team centre — as the stage runs.

THE NEW FLAVOUR

Everything a team director controls — in one place

A great team director runs the whole event: planning the race, supervising execution, and judging the performance of driver, co-driver and technical crew. Rally Stage Director puts that control on one screen — live, recorded and shareable — and links driving to mechanics so the team defines car behaviour together.

Live position & telemetry

Speed, throttle, brake, RPM and position, live from the car and mapped to the stage.

Stage & team coordination

Lay out stages, splits and crew, and track every car against the plan.

Mobile-first field use

The data source is a phone in the car — no proprietary hardware to ship.

Data visibility for service

Engineers and service crews see the same live picture as the director.

Record & replay

Every stage is recorded — replay any parameter or driving profile, unlimited times.

Future WebRTC video & data

Designed to grow toward live onboard video and low-latency data links.
