We are Racing Electronics and we build the world’s most advanced communications systems for the top race teams and series in the world.
For the first time ever we have combined forces with FanVision to create one device to rule them all. We call it Legend and it we're thrilled to launch it here exclusively on Kickstarter.
Legend combines thousands of dollars worth of automotive devices, tools, and accessories into one rugged, powerful package at a fraction of the cost.
We'll get to the specs and the glossy product shots in a minute, but we want you to know that our Kickstarter campaign isn't just about shipping you an awesome product. It's about the thrill of racing and inviting you to experience something new and exciting as a member of our automotive family.
Legend backers will receive huge discounts on the product, a softer-than-soft Legend T-Shirt, and Free Tickets to a participating NASCAR or IndyCar race at any of these premier tracks from May 2017 - May 2018:
We're serious about the tickets! Why? We want you to experience the thrill of racing and the magic of the Legend together with us.
We've now surpassed our original goal of $90,000 and are thrilled to announce our first stretch goal. If we get past $125,000 by the end of the campaign we will commit to bringing you not only the Legend, but we will also introduce a truly legendary new racing headset.
This advanced racing headset will combine the best in noise cancellation (active & passive), multiple wireless and wired audio inputs, bluetooth, manual volume control, daisy chain intercom, and much more. They'll look slick, work great, and we'll make fan and pro versions that can be used for everything from thumping beats to track action to console gaming. Let's blow past $125k and build this thing together!
Our mission is combine the old and the new to solve racing's biggest technical challenges:
Don't worry. We've got solutions too!
Use Legend in “Classic Scanner” mode to listen to driver and team and communications OR enable "FanVision" mode at NASCAR Cup Series events to get even more content, like live in-car video and broadcast feeds, digital driver audio, data, and advanced analytics. No Data Plan or WiFi required!
Legend will work at thousands of races at hundreds of tracks nationwide to give you the awareness of a crew chief and the point of view of the driver. Once you experience a race with a Legend there is no going back. Legend also comes with a variety of pre-installed Android apps, like NASCAR Mobile and Race Monitor, that can be used where connectivity is available.
Legend is the best race computer available. It replaces the commonly used mix of clipboards, stopwatches, tablets, and laptops with a single, powerful handheld device. It’s purpose-built for collecting, sharing and storing race data and analytics in the hottest, noisiest, and most extreme environments.
Legend integrates with popular race applications like RaceNote and handles the flow of data seamlessly in both offline and online modes.
Storing, sharing, and printing your data from all your sensors and our custom stopwatch is incredibly simple, and team devices can be networked for secure, real-time sharing of information, messaging, and feedback.
Unlike any other tool out there, Legend will continually improve. We'll be issuing frequent updates to the software to meet the needs of gearheads everywhere. NOTE - The Legend will ship with a soft case, earbuds, lanyard and a charger.
Do you tinker? Go for a track day every once in awhile? Legend is the car computer that should have been built for you a long time ago.
With a little adaptor, Legend talks to your car’s OBD2 on-board diagnostics computer (available on most cars since 1996) and packs a library of connected car apps that do everything from interpreting engine light codes to tracking gas mileage to providing a real-time customizable digital dashboard for everyday street driving and track days.
It mounts to an engine block or dashboard easily and can do even the simple everyday work of a dash-cam or GPS.
Choose a reward level that includes our "Pro Hard Case" and you'll get extra protection for the Legend and all of its accessories. This rugged case is built by Pelican to withstand the toughest abuse at the track or in your shop and includes a custom laser engraved nameplate.
Classic Scanner Mode - Drivers are constantly talking with their spotters and crews to get an edge. In classic scanner mode, the Legend uses a built-in radio scanner to tap directly into these communications. No WiFi or 3G/4G required. Legend will work in Classic Scanner Mode at pretty much any race track or event.
FanVision Mode - FanVision mode adds to the scanner experience by including live in-car and broadcast video feeds, real-time leaderboards, analytics, and driver stats. It is currently available at NASCAR Cup Series events, and possibly more events and Series beginning in 2017.
Risques et défis
We’ve been working on the Legend for over a year. From a production perspective, there are a number of components that will require careful planning and management to ensure that the quality of the Legend matches Racing Electronic’s professional equipment expectations and that our deadlines are met. We have selected manufacturers and logistics in the US and in China that we will monitor and visit for quality assurance. We've also acted proactively, building extra time into the production timeline in case any unexpected issues occur. This isn’t our first time around the track; we’ve successfully debuted multiple product lines in the past and have best practices for our products to avoid issues and delays. Our dedicated team in Concord, North Carolina is ready to bring the Legend to motorsport fans!
