FAQ
When does it ship?
Estimated delivery is February 2027. If we can't ship by February 28, 2027, we'll tell you by February 1 and you choose: wait, or take a full refund.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Your $2,500 is 100% refundable until your system ships. Email me and the refund goes back to your original payment method within 10 business days.
What do I need?
Not much. The Mission Control Pad, an Android tablet, is in the box, already set up and signed in to your team's account. Trackside runs on your crew's phones, and the Portal runs in a web browser.
Do I have to use AI?
No. This is an engineering tool first: GPS, lap timing, tire data and video, measured and laid out for you. The software does the measuring and the math; you make the calls.
What about the instruments?
Track instrumentation (scales, ride height, tire temperature) is in development in our Mooresville shop. It is not part of this system. Founding teams get first access to it, at founding prices.
