with an optional suction mount. Take the holder and screw it to
the device. In the vehicle, put the suction mount of the holder
below the rear-view mirror and fasten it tight to the
windscreen with the clamping lever.
C. A special clamp for mounting the device onto the rollover cage
is also available.
NOTE: Before every ride, check the adherence of the holder. An
incorrectly installed device might get detached from the
windscreen and get damaged, causing damage to the car or
serious injuries to the driver. Always make sure that the
mounted RN LITE can record videos properly. Check if the
position is suitable by recording a test video manually.
On the next page you may find a drawing with the dimensions
of the assembly thread on the RN LITE. It provides you with all
the necessary data for your individual mounting.

RN Analyzer APP
RN Analyzer is an extended analysis tool of the data from all Race
Navigator devices.
The application is very easy to use and offers a wide range of
analysis options:
• The comparison of all selected laps, according to different
criteria (speed, distance, time, lap times, g-forces, OBD-II
data). You can analyze the entire track step by step by using
the red slider. The videos and charts are immediately
synchronized
• An aerial perspective of the race track based on Google Maps.
Your driving lines are displayed with maximum precision from
an overhead view.
• A video player. More than one video can be played side by side
in the Analyzer view synchronously or a single video in full
screen mode.
• Social-networking services. You can easily share your laps
with friends on Facebook, YouTube and others.
Open to download laps from device List of available laps

• A possibility to compare two laps (or more!) and see exactly where
you are gaining or losing time.
• The section times analysis. It allows you to count your best
theoretical time and best continuous time.
• Laps overview. You can compare maximum and minimum values of
the data types gathered by the system.
• RN Cloud service. All laps with videos can be archived in the RN Cloud
service for later use and to get more free space on your device.
The cloud is also used to share whole laps between users and to
transfer data to a new iPad.
The RN Analyzer APP is available for free download from the iTunes
App Store. Use a QR code reader to access the iTunes App Store and

customized dashboard dialog where it is
possible to watch the visualization of the
most important measurements.
• Three different modes are available:
Acceleration test, Braking test and
Distance test.
• For each test a separate video is recorded
with a proper caption.
• The recording is a bit longer than the test so
that a more suitable video is obtained.

With braking
You can also do the acceleration test with braking
(select the check . In this
case, after reaching your maximal defined speed,
the test is continued until the very end of braking,
that is 0 km/h.
NOTE: The time spent while driving at a higher
speed than the defined maximum is not included
in the final measurement time. It means that the
driver does not need to be concerned about
exceeding the maximal defined speed because the
system automatically includes only the
acceleration time in the defined speed ranges and
the braking time.
39
BRAKING TEST
In this mode, you are provided with the same
features as in the Acceleration test but the speed
range is defined as descending.
• To switch to the Braking test, click the
BRAKING button.
• Choose one of the three preinstalled speed
ranges: 50-0 km/h, 100-0 km/h, 200-0
km/h or define your own range from the

is being visualized in real time on the dashboard.
The Distance test is also adequate to be used
during drag races.
41
13.3 EVENT · RCN Mode
The RCN event type is a feature prepared for the
regularity driving events. There are total of 6
different racing groups predefined: the Blue, Red
and Yellow defined for two track variants
Nürburgring Nordschleife and Nürburgring 24H.
The RCN event helps you to track your current lap
number and type, each second calculates and
displays the time difference to your set time,
shows your performance during sprint laps and
displays the countdown timer while fueling!
The symbolic icon for every lap type and the lap
number are shown on the dashboard during the
race. When driving, lap types are switched
automatically in a rulebook order, defined for the
selected racing group.
42
The particular setups can be previewed on the
Settings. In the RCN mode a new lap is created
only when the start line is crossed, to avoid
breaking the lap sequence.
Make sure that the new event is created before
the race begins. In the auto start mode the
recording starts automatically, and stops after
finalizing the last lap of the RCN race when the car
stops.
Six different lap types are defined in this mode:
1. Set Time Lap a lap for setting the
time, the measured time of this lap is
used as a reference when the Confirm Lap starts.
2. Sprint Lap a lap to drive as fast as
possible, a reference time for a Sprint
Lap is always the fastest lap from all
laps in a current event, it can be also preselected
before the race.
43
3. Confirm Time Lap - when starting
this type of lap, the Set Time Lap is
selected automatically as the reference lap. The
system calculates and displays each second the
time difference between current lap time and set
lap time.
4. Fuel Lap - is a maximum-time lap, a
countdown clock appears on the
dashboard to show the driver how much time is
left before incurring in penalties.
5. Out-lap - the first lap to be completed
after exiting the pit lane.
6. Finish Lap - is also a maximum-time
lap with a countdown, is a race final lap.
44
RESET RCN button
Here you can stop current RCN Event and start a
new one to begin a new RCN laps sequence.
Keep recording during RCN when car
stops
Unchecked is a recommended setting, if
unchecked recording stops and starts
automatically when the automatic recording
start/stop is on, check it only if you need a
complete video also while fueling, but then you
need to wait longer after the race to download
videos it takes longer to process a recorded
video.
45
13.4 EVENT · Rally
It is a specially-designed racing mode for the rally
event, when conditions are often unpredictable
and tend to change rapidly. Well-developed
algorithms provide such system capabilities as:
• Automatic start and stop of data and video
recording of stages only stages are recorded,
every stage gets its own video file and data,
each stage has its own name and is easy to find,
• Data entry informing about the special stages,
• Automatic detection and switching between
special stages Automatic detection of the start
and end of special stages
• Automatic detection of critical situations, e.g.
the stage cancelled by the organizer, the
changed order of the stages, etc.,
• The possibility of analyzing data between
multiple runs of special stages in the RN
Analyzer app (see pictures on the right),
• Measurement tool for reconnaissance,
• HD quality video,
• Additional parameters like water temperature,
speed, pressures, time difference can be
displayed on a separate screen.
46
Special stages recording instructions
