TL;DR
If you want to use Drivurs today, choose a RaceBox device (Mini, Mini S, or Micro). If you already own Dragy or Solo II hardware, you can still use their ecosystems—but Drivurs currently focuses on RaceBox for in-app sessions.
This article is a workflow-first decision guide (not an accuracy shootout).
If you’re undecided, pick the option you’ll actually use weekly: consistent mounting, consistent runs, and a workflow that keeps your history organized long-term for your goals.
Start with the real question: what are you trying to do?
Pick the primary goal:
- Drag-style runs (0–60, 1/8, 1/4, trap speed)
- Track sessions (repeatable laps, logs, and comparisons)
- Build tracking (connect performance notes to your current mod list)
Different devices and apps optimize for different workflows.
What Drivurs supports (today)
Drivurs currently supports RaceBox devices for performance sessions:
- RaceBox Mini
- RaceBox Mini S
- RaceBox Micro
If you want a single workflow that includes garage build logs + community + events + RaceBox sessions, RaceBox is the right choice for Drivurs.
A safe comparison table (workflow-focused)
| Category | Drivurs + RaceBox | Dragy ecosystem | Solo II ecosystem |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware | RaceBox Mini / Mini S / Micro | Dragy device | Solo II device |
| Works inside Drivurs sessions | Yes | Not supported (today) | Not supported (today) |
| Primary value in Drivurs | Sessions + run diagnostics + history | Use their app | Use their app |
| Best way to decide | Pick the workflow you’ll actually use weekly | Check their docs | Check their docs |
If you need specific accuracy specs or feature details for competitors, verify with each manufacturer’s documentation.
Questions to ask before you buy any timing device
Instead of asking “which is best,” ask questions that match your workflow:
- Do you want drag-style runs, track sessions, or both?
- Can you mount the device with a clear sky view every time?
- Does the ecosystem help you understand when data is usable (readiness/quality signals)?
- Do you want your performance tracking tied to a build log and a community, or do you want a standalone timing app?
- Are you willing to run multiple attempts and compare trends, not one hero run?
Even the “best” device won’t fix inconsistent setup.
What matters more than brand: consistency
No matter which device you use, your results depend on:
- Mounting and sky view
- Fix quality and sample rate (when applicable)
- Road grade and wind
- Repeatable start procedure
If you change three variables every run, you won’t be able to trust comparisons.
If you switch ecosystems, reset your baseline
If you move from one device to another:
- Treat your first few sessions as a new baseline.
- Don’t compare a new device’s numbers directly to old screenshots from a different setup.
- Re-run the same road/direction and build a consistent dataset again.
This isn’t about “which is more accurate.” It’s about keeping comparisons honest.
Common mistakes (how people pick the wrong device)
- Buying based on one “hero screenshot” instead of workflow + repeatability
- Ignoring mounting and sky view (then blaming the brand)
- Comparing runs from different roads/directions and calling it “gains”
- Assuming Drivurs supports Dragy/Solo II sessions today (Drivurs focuses on RaceBox)
- Switching ecosystems and not resetting your baseline
Decision checklist (pick one path)
Path A: You want Drivurs + RaceBox sessions
Choose RaceBox if you want:
- A RaceBox setup guide inside Drivurs Learn
- Readiness checks (“GPS Ready”) before you run
- Run labeling (valid / warnings / invalid / incomplete)
- Performance context that can live next to your garage setup

Path B: You already own Dragy hardware
If you already own Dragy:
- Use the Dragy ecosystem for sessions today.
- If you move to RaceBox later, you can bring performance habits (repeatable setup, consistency) with you.
This isn’t a “wrong” choice—just a different ecosystem.
Path C: You already own Solo II hardware
If you already own Solo II:
- Use the Solo II ecosystem for your workflow.
- Evaluate whether you want an additional system for build logs, community, and events.
Where Drivurs fits in the decision
If your goal is to keep everything connected—garage setup, club membership, events, and performance sessions—Drivurs is designed for that unified workflow. RaceBox is the hardware that plugs into Drivurs sessions today.
If you only want timing and nothing else, any ecosystem can work. If you want coordination and context, Drivurs is built to keep the receipts.
