ORQA LapRF 8 Way Racing System

Overview:
Built for professional FPV race management and high-level competition timing, the Orqa LapRF 8-Way Race Timer is a precision RF-based timing system designed to accurately track lap times for up to eight pilots simultaneously. Developed for modern FPV racing environments, the system detects the signal emitted from each pilot’s 5.8GHz video transmitter as they pass through the start/finish gate, eliminating the need for separate transponders, RFID tags or infrared hardware. This simplifies race setup considerably while maintaining highly accurate timing performance.

The latest LapRF V2 platform introduces several major upgrades, including integrated GPS synchronisation and Power over Ethernet support. The built-in GPS module provides highly accurate real-time clock correction and improved split-time synchronisation between multiple checkpoints, while PoE support allows both power and data to be supplied through a single Ethernet cable for cleaner event installations. Designed specifically for demanding outdoor race environments, the system features a fully waterproof IP67-rated aluminium enclosure with passive cooling and no moving fans.

At the core of the LapRF system are custom-designed timing receivers and directional antennas engineered specifically for FPV racing. Unlike generic RSSI-based systems, the LapRF hardware can be calibrated dynamically to cope with varying VTX power levels and crowded RF environments, helping minimise false detections and adjacent-channel interference. Support for both analogue and digital 5.8GHz systems, including HDZero-compatible racing setups, makes it highly versatile for modern mixed-format events.

The LapRF 8 integrates directly with LiveTime FPV race management software via Ethernet connection, providing full event control, auto-calibration functions and spectrum analysis tools for race organisers. Widely used at major MultiGP events and other international FPV competitions, it has become one of the most recognised professional race timing systems in the FPV racing scene.
