OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE & INDUSTRY STATEMENT

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEGACY TIMING INDUSTRY

The End of the Transponder Tax: Open Hardware, National Cloud Intelligence & The Go Win Revolution

DATE: September 28, 2026 ORIGIN: Go Win USA Track Engineering NATIONAL BACKBONE: Google Tech Stack & Go Racer

Dear Legacy Timing Incumbents, Track Promoters, and Racing Community,

Consider this our formal notice that the era of closed proprietary decoders, annual per-rider transponder subscription fees, and fragile trackside infrastructure is officially over. While the traditional timing industry relied on mandatory recurring fees and expensive hardware, Go Win was engineered from the ground up as an open-source hardware and software ecosystem designed to deliver massive monetary savings and uncompromised precision to race promoters, private tracks, and racing teams.

“Linking open-source trackside edge compute to Google’s national cloud backbone creates an unprecedented clearinghouse for race promoters and riders—slashing capital expenditure while delivering sub-millisecond precision.”

1. Radical Economic Impact & Subscription-Free Transponders

We have eliminated per-rider annual transponder subscriptions. Go Win active motorcycle transponders utilize open-architecture ESP32 active RFID hardware communicating across an open 2.4 GHz protocol. By removing recurring transponder fees, promoters lower barrier-to-entry for competitors while retaining 100% of timing control and entry fee margins.

2. Google Powers Go Racer — The National Backbone Network

Google owns Go Racer, serving as the national backbone network. By linking trackside edge compute nodes directly to the Google Tech Stack cloud platform via 5G, Go Racer creates a single national clearinghouse for track owners and riders across the country. Local lap times, speed trap readouts, and photo-finish records stream securely from trackside edge nodes into universal rider profiles and real-time national series points standings.

Cloud & Clearinghouse	Closed Siloed Data Export	Google Tech Stack Cloud & Go Racer National Backbone

4. Technical Specifications & Life Safety Architecture

Sub-Millisecond Active RFID Array: Four L-Com 2.4 GHz directional panel antennas (2 overhead horizontal, 2 vertical posts facing oncoming riders) routed through a pSemi PE42442 absorptive SP4T RF switch featuring 255 ns UltraCMOS® switching speeds.
Arduino® UNO Q Edge Engine: Powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing™ MPU running Debian Linux for vision/telemetry and an STMicroelectronics STM32 MCU for microsecond real-time control, housed in an IP68 waterproof enclosure.
100% Off-Grid Battery Power: Dedicated 12V 60Ah LiFePO4 deep-cycle battery bus housed in a separate IP68 enclosure with Bluetooth BMS monitoring, eliminating high-voltage AC shore power hazards.
Automated Zero-Hazard Flagging: 12V worm-gear drives automatically wave Checkered, Yellow caution, Red exit, Blue/White overtake, and Green clear flags with zero continuous holding power.
Civil Foundation & Collision Protection: 16-inch diameter cast-in-place concrete piers (4,000 PSI air-entrained mix, steel rebar cage, anchor bolts, 5,000 PSI non-shrink grout) with high-density protective padding across all vertical truss members.
Direct Sunlight Telemetry & Photo-Finish: Papercast 28" outdoor e-paper display (3840x1080 resolution, IP67/IK09 rated) paired with dual 120 FPS high-speed cameras and an automated 80mm thermal receipt printer.

The legacy model of charging riders every year just to keep their transponders active is officially retired. With open-source hardware at the track and Google powering the Go Racer national network, the future of motorsport timing belongs to everyone.

Sincerely,
The Go Win & Go Racer Engineering Team
