iCard Provides Real-Time Racing Info On GBA

Posted by simoniker on from the better-than-sewing-machine dept.

garfnodie writes "A company has started offering for rent or purchase a device, called iCard, which, when hooked up the Nintendo Game Boy Advance can give you real-time information about your favorite racers at popular car racing events, such as National Hot Rod Association(NHRA) or Le Mans. The official iCard site has more information." Although this interesting idea debuted a couple of months back, press coverage on it seems to have been light.

    I saw one of these in action at Summit Point Racew^h^h^h^h^h Motorsports Park this past weekend. This gizmo provides live T&S just like you get on-line for the pro races. It's really sweet. The club racers (there's a lot of us out there) are buying this up like crazy. It's already being used in FranAm and I'm sure once it proves itself there, it will be adopted for NASCAR and other series. 5000 units? They'll do that the first NASCAR weekend it's used.
