Game-Changer in the Pit Lane: Introducing the New Racelogic VBOX Video HD1!
At JB Data Engineering, we’ve always believed that you can’t manage what you don’t measure. For many track day enthusiasts and club racers, however, the hurdle to professional-grade data acquisition has always been hardware complexity, cumbersome cabling, and time-consuming setup.
That all changes with the Racelogic VBOX Video HD1—the most accessible, streamlined VBOX Video logger ever produced. Packed into a ultra-compact 167g housing, the HD1 delivers race-proven, frame-synchronised 1080p video and 25Hz GNSS data logging in a single plug-and-play package.
Whether you're looking to trim two-tenths off your personal best or live-stream your track sessions, the VBOX Video HD1 is engineered specifically for the motorsport environment.
Built for the Track, Not the High Street
While action cameras can be adapted for track use, the VBOX HD1 is built for motorsport from the ground up.
Integrated All-in-One Design: The 1080p camera, 25Hz GNSS antenna and recording hardware are housed in one rugged, reinforced unit. Mounting takes minutes with the included roll-cage mount and single-cable harness.
Never Miss a Lap: Thanks to speed-triggered recording, the HD1 automatically starts logging when you hit the track and stops when you return to the paddock. A configurable 30-second pre-buffer ensures you capture the entire start sequence before crossing the line.
Motorsport Tough: Hard-wired to vehicle power with a tether point, replaceable toughened-glass lens and a -20°C to +60°C operating window - meaning no flat batteries, no thermal shutdowns and no forgetting to press ‘Record’.
Professional Data Integration & Dual CAN Bus
For drivers looking to dig deeper into vehicle dynamics, the HD1 features two isolated CAN buses supporting both standard CAN 2.0 and CAN FD. This allows seamless logging directly from your vehicle's ECU or dashboard—embedding throttle trace, brake pressure, gear selection, steering angle, and engine diagnostics directly onto your video.
Setting up your shot is handled quickly and easily via built-in Wi-Fi and the VBOX Video app on your smartphone, featuring live previewing and three selectable fields of view (Narrow 66°, Normal 92°, and Wide 132°) to fit everything from tight single-seaters to wide saloon cabins without moving the physical camera.
Live HDMI Output & Predictive Lap Timing
In a first for a system at this price point, the HD1 features a live HDMI output. You can stream real-time 1080p video complete with graphics and data overlays straight to pit-wall monitors, recording units, or live-streaming setups for instant engineer feedback.
Pair the VBOX Video HD1 with an optional Racelogic OLED or Mini OLED display to get real-time predictive lap timing and live deltas down to 0.01 seconds on your dash.
Unlock Your Potential with Circuit Tools 3 (Free, Forever)
Coaching makes you consistent, but precise data makes you fast! Every VBOX HD1 includes lifetime access to Circuit Tools 3—the industry-standard analysis software used by pro drivers and race engineers worldwide.
Zero Subscriptions: No paywalls or monthly fees.
Instant Auto-Track Loading: The HD1’s global track database automatically identifies the circuit and loads start/finish lines and sector maps.
Side-by-Side Analysis: Sync video frame-by-frame alongside speed curves, braking points, apex speeds and throttle traces. The new Insights feature instantly highlights where time is being won or lost.
Order Your VBOX Video HD1 from JB Data Engineering!
The VBOX Video HD1 package comes complete with the HD1 logger, roll-cage mount, external GNSS antenna, unterminated power/CAN cable, and a 32GB SD card—ready to install and hit the circuit.
