Swiss Timing and Car Racing Sports

Services today no longer mean timekeeping alone. In addition to transponders, Swiss Timing's most important technological contributions to racing include the real-time transmission of race car position and telemetry data and our computer vision-based Track Limits Observation Solution. With our state-of-the-art TV graphic solution and augmented reality graphics, all information is presented to the viewer in real-time.

Our highly precise timekeeping features transponders and time loops at the start-finish and two intermediate times. Position and performance data can be measured and displayed at any time. At the finish line, technicians install electronic photocells as a backup system, and a second backup is provided by high-speed video cameras. These innovative cameras continue to record all the action even when a sequence is being reviewed onscreen.

Our race control system provides a comprehensive overview and full control over the activities around the track and is connected to our timing and info system in order to distribute messages. Overtaking, safety car procedure analysis, and different searching functions to check special race facts are key components.

Swiss Timing is on hand for each session of an event, from the free practice and pre-qualifying sessions to the qualifying rounds and actual race.
