The Delphi Track Condition Radio 3 (TCR3) MS 00153 helps alert drivers of critical information by transmitting messages from race control to the race car. A dash-mounted display communicates digital messages, including:

• Safety warnings
• Track condition
• Pits opened/closed

Types of messages sent and received can easily be modified through an externally accessible serial interface. The Race Control Console transmitter can be customized for a given application. Dimming of the in-car caution light during night races can be controlled at the transmitter by race control personnel. The Delphi TCR3's increased processing and input/output performance make it capable of performing several motorsports and non-motorsports functions.
