Road Strobe

[Lancia037Rally]

Picked one of these up after witnessing how effective they work when Seamus Burke had one (or similar product) on his disabled car one night. Could see flashing on long sweeping corner way before we got there.

Weighs nothing. Photo makes it appear larger than is. Its 2 or 3 inches diameter. Can clip onto your driving suit if you running around picking up triangles or changing tire or stick to your car using the magnet on backside if you've DNFed to assist approaching teams avoid hitting your car.

Available here along w/ some a couple other products (flashlight-pen) that could be used for rallying.

We at Fatboyraceworks have been thinking of doing something like this for some time. We have been considering adding a strobe function to the third brake light or adding a strobe like you discovered. Great find.

I like the idea of having it on drivers' suits when you're picking up triangles...arguably the most dangerous part of the whole operation. Avoiding a blinking red light is almost instinctive.

I try to avoid the blue strobes behind me most.

The one drawback is it only is good for night stages.

or a bike light that the driver and codriver could clip on while out of the car, changing a tire or running to put out or retreive triangles.
