D2N is also developing a closed-door intercom solution to allow open channel feed for driver and engineer, layered with specific options for digital feeds, whether that be data engineers, tire engineers or even fans interacting on their smartphones.

“D2N supplied and programmed all the handsets for the 2022 season and supported the engineering group from a technical perspective to create bespoke solutions for each of the team members. The crew have quickly got to terms with their handset settings, the car controller has had clear comms with both cars and the D2N solution has integrated seamlessly, allowing us time to spend elsewhere hunting down performance. The drivers report clear comms and the team remains calm due to good information flow. In short, the D2N comms solution is the best type of comms solution,” said Tim Newton, Engineer for Garry Jacobson on Car #76.

PremiAir Racing typically uses the D2N comms solution for its car to crew communications and as an intercom solution. A typical signal path goes from engineer to TV repeater to car to TV repeater to crew to engineer and back to crew.

Tim Newton concluded, “D2N and their excellent comms solution give us confidence, clarity and engineering capacity to chase performance on the track. They also give us the confidence to go straight to performance-orientated tasks during the race weekend and not get bogged down in maintenance and cumbersome radio issues. Basically, I’m delighted to say that D2N and their comms solution are an integral and invaluable part of the success of the PremiAir Racing team.”
