Lane Brain

What is Lane Brain?
Lane brain is an electronic device that runs your lane changers
It retrofits to existing plastic track digital systems (except SCX) and to any routed timber digital system
The Lane Brain can easily be used to control:

Lane Changers
  • Is there a slow car in front of you?
  • Change Lanes to get past them!
  • Do you want to extend your lead or catch up with the leader?
  • Take the best racing line around your circuit to cut those vital fractions of a second off your lap times!

Lap Counting
  • This can be set up for more than two lanes - up to 8 lanes or even count laps when going through the pits

Programmable race line
  • Would you like the system to remember your preferred raceline?
  • Now you can, just do one lap in "Learn Mode" and each Lane Brain will automatically switch you to your preferred

Pit Lane Entry, Pit Lane Exit and Pit Lane Speed Limiter
  • Do you want to set your own Pit Lane Speed Limit?
  • Do you want to make sure that your car only goes into your Pit or Garage?
  • Do you have to refuel or make repairs after a crash?
  • Pit Bay - how cool is that you have automated entry to your exact pit bay!
  • Safety Car Bay - Is this even possible?
      This bay is isolated until there is a Full Course Yellow (Track Call), when the Safety Car will be automatically deployed
  • Drive-Through Penalty - is this possible?
      Did You Jump the Start or Overtake during a Safety Car Period?
      Oh Dear, you will have to go through the pits! And at the correct speed!
  • Stop-Go Penalty
      Similar to Drive Through Penalty except you will need to stop in the penalty bay for the required time

Sector Timing
  • Want a break down of each sector?
  • Want to work on your game?
  • Now you can analyse individual sectors using sector timing!

Wires - Electrical and Control
  • Do you really want to connect wires everywhere?
  • Now you don't have to - the best bit, it is controlled Wirelessly!
  • With Scorpius all data is transmitted wirelessly, so wiring is kept to a minimum
  • Power for Lane Brain can also be taken from the track to minimise wiring
  • Controllers are wireless too
