# Pricing · CAD: What drivers are used to, without the startup costs

> Per car, per event, in CAD, with the full fleet included. Pay typical transponder rental prices, with automatic volume discounts as your calendar grows and no expensive decoders or servers to buy. Point to point is a timed run from a start line to a finish line. Circuit lapping is many cars lapping a course together.

## The same fleet and software on every plan.

We don't strip features, cap car counts, or lock critical capabilities behind higher tiers. Every plan includes the same complete hardware fleet and the full software.

- **Full fleet and RTK base station**: Every device, multi-port master charging cases, a dual-band RTK GPS base station, and mounts: strong cup magnets, lever suction cups and pipe clamps for roll cages.
- **No hardware to own**: Maintenance is included: routine wear, battery health, repairs, and future upgrades shipped to your door. Damage caused by a client or driver isn't covered.
- **Cellular data and cloud scoring**: Built-in cellular LTE with global SIM (all data included). Real-time web scoring and automatic offline flash buffering.

- **On-device display**: The display on each device shows status, live time, or any data from RaceChrono.
- **Race control and scoring**: Web-based race control, single-click driver swaps, multi-session events with combined results, and PAX class scoring.
- **Rained-out events are not billed**: A rained-out or smoke-cancelled event is not billed and does not count toward the 8-event minimum.

## Definitions: Two formats, built for how you race

- **Point to point (Sprint and solo)**: Timed single runs from a start line to a finish line: autocross, hillclimb, and track sprints with standing starts and flying finishes. Scores cone (+2s) and DNF penalties and counts the best run. Race control arms the timing line automatically as cars stage in grid.
- **Circuit lapping (Multi-car packs)**: Many cars on track at once, timed lap after lap: time trials, track days, and road racing with 15–20+ cars circulating simultaneously. Scores every lap and split on rolling leaderboards.
