DriftBox is an electronic device that uses a GPS engine coupled with motion and yaw rate sensors to measure speed, position, acceleration and drift angle of a car. DriftBox was originally designed to provide real time stats to D1 Grand Prix Judges to make evaluating drivers runs more precise. There are two versions of DriftBox – DriftBox and DriftBox Pro. The main difference being that DriftBox Pro can relay information in real time via radio signal. DriftBox Pro is the system used by D1 Grand Prix.

DriftBox has been used by the UK television program Top Gear and automotive magazines like EVO, Redline, Banzai, and Japanese Performance during track testing to calculate vehicle performance. In addition to the features above, DriftBox can also measure 0-60, 0-100, 0-100-0, braking distances, quarter mile times, and lap times using a virtual start/finish line generated from the latitude and longitude measurements from the GPS system. Plug the base model DriftBox into your cigarette lighter and it’s ready to go.

DriftBox is equipped with a MMC/SD Flash memory card slot and USB port that allows drivers to later download and analyze their results using a PC.

The GPS system used in DriftBox is a RTK system that gives an accuracy of 0.25 degrees, 0.1km/h and 0.01G.
