Professional pit-to-driver communication — anywhere, anytime.
The Jimnet Pitboard System delivers clear, instant race information directly to the driver — without radios, laptops, or on-site network setups.
Developed and supported in the UK, it’s designed to stay compliant under current Motorsport UK wording while giving teams the precision data they need to run faster, cleaner races.
⚙️ How it works
- Pitboard Link (in-car receiver & CAN gateway)
Mounted in the car, it automatically connects to the strongest GSM signal and receives messages from the pit crew via the internet.
Outputs all data via CAN bus for ECUMaster ADU, MoTeC C/D Series, AiM, and similar dashes.
Weight: ≈ 200 g. - Pitboard Display 4.3 (optional touchscreen)
4.3″ colour touchscreen for in-car message display and layout control.
Drivers can set Landscape / Portrait, Light / Dark mode, and Text colour.
Combined weight with display: ≈ 350 g. - Pitboard Console (web control for pit crew)
Send pitboard information from any internet-connected device — iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS — no app installation required.
🏎️ What the driver sees (fully configurable)
- Position: Overall and class
- Times (4 slots): choose Best Lap, Pole Lap, Last Lap, Gap Ahead, Gap Behind, etc.
- Text Message: custom up to 8 characters (e.g. “BOX NOW”, “PUSH”, “RAIN”).
- Time Remaining: optional race timer that can automatically count down from a set duration
Configure everything via Pitboard Console or on the Pitboard Display 4.3.
🚦 Benefits & Safety Advantages
- More frequent updates:
Traditional pitboards can only update once per lap when the driver passes the pit wall. With the Jimnet Pitboard System, the driver can receive information at any time — multiple times per lap if needed. - Safer for the driver:
It’s often difficult to locate your own pitboard among dozens of others while driving at speed. The pit wall is typically one of the fastest and busiest parts of the circuit, where overtaking are happening.
The Jimnet Pitboard allows the driver to glance at the display safely at any point during the lap, processing information without distraction. - Critical message alerts:
If there’s a red flag, safety car, or hazard, the pitboard can flash the message, instantly drawing attention. This ensures important information is seen immediately. - Safer for the pit crew:
No more leaning over the pit wall, juggling numbers and letters in the cold or wet, or risking injury from passing cars.
Messages are sent digitally from a tablet, phone, or laptop — keeping your crew safely behind the barrier.
