Field update
Race Link Live expands platform following Vegas to Reno and Dirt Rebellion.
Live competition deployments advanced synchronized video, GPS, vehicle telemetry, timing, race operations and Race Link Core.
LAS VEGAS, NV. Race Link Live LLC announced the continued expansion of its off-road racing platform following live competition deployments at Best In The Desert's 2026 Vegas to Reno and Legacy Racing Association's Dirt Rebellion.
Race Link Live combines onboard video, GPS tracking, selected CAN and ECU telemetry, timing, race operations, in-vehicle systems, live production and replay around a shared race record. The platform keeps those systems connected from the vehicle through race operations, teams, production and post-race review.
Race Link Live was deployed with Colton Gubler at Vegas to Reno, where the system recorded onboard video, vehicle position and detailed CAN telemetry from the race vehicle. At Dirt Rebellion, Gilbert Racing used Race Link Live with multiple onboard camera views, live vehicle tracking and CAN data.
Together, the deployments validated the platform in long-course desert competition and provided field data used to harden synchronization, connectivity and race-day workflows.
“Live racing validated the core architecture and gave us the data to harden synchronization, connectivity and replay under real desert conditions. We're building Race Link Live around what actually happens on race day.” Mitch Jones, founder of Race Link Live
One timeline from the vehicle
Race Link Live ties cameras, position data and selected CAN or ECU channels to the same race timestamp at the source. The 2026 deployments led to improvements in how information is captured, buffered, transported and reconstructed through connectivity gaps.
When connectivity is limited, vehicle-side capture continues locally and available history can synchronize when a connection returns. Race Link Live distinguishes information that is current, delayed or unavailable instead of presenting stale data as live.
The synchronized architecture was particularly useful during the Gubler deployment. Recorded CAN data can be reviewed alongside vehicle location and onboard video from the same point in the race. Teams can examine driver input and vehicle response without manually aligning separate exports. Available channels can include speed, RPM, throttle and brake input, temperatures, fuel use, chassis motion and other vehicle-specific data made available by the race vehicle.
More of race day in one record
Since launching in February, Race Link Live has expanded the same architecture into virtual checkpoint timing, course and field tracking, splits and gaps, penalties, race operations, live production and replay.
Race organizers can import course geometry, define timing points, monitor field position, review timing and incident information, and retain the event record from course setup through final results. Production teams can work from available onboard video, timing, position, graphics and replay. Race teams can follow vehicle position, selected telemetry and onboard views during competition, then return to the same timeline for engineering and driver review.
Race Link Core extends that race context into the vehicle. The rugged driver-facing system is designed to provide course position, speed-zone information, traffic and passing states, hazards, cautions, SOS status and race-control messages. Supported commands can retain delivery and acknowledgement status, while local course functions and event records continue through connectivity gaps.
Race Link Core Lite provides position, event state and independent race connectivity for vehicles where a full driver display is not required.
“The races validated the core architecture and showed us how much further the platform could go. Once video, position, vehicle data and timing share the same race record, you can build better tools for the team, race control, production and the driver without creating another disconnected system.” Mitch Jones, founder of Race Link Live
Race Link Live is expanding race deployments and platform capabilities through the remainder of the 2026 season.
