Recommendations

Place the button box close to the steering wheel or handrest for fastest access during driving. Map critical race controls (pit, pit limiter, radio, fuel or traction adjustments) to the most accessible switches and use rotary encoders for settings that require incremental changes. Periodically check switch mounting and cable routing to prevent accidental activation and to maintain long-term reliability.
