Regularity Numbers

This is the most complete screen, with the most data and most functions available in the Rabbit. Although the rally is based on speed, in the Rabbit the most important information is the Time to Ideal which will help you stay as consistent as possible.

Elements of the Regularity Numbers screen.

  1. Chronometer
  2. Clock
  3. Ideal time indicator bar
  4. Stage
  5. Time to ideal. Green, you are behind. Yellow, you are on time. Red, you are ahead.
  6. Odometer
  7. Real speed
  8. Sub-stage speed
  9. Next sub-stage speed
  10. Sub-stage countdown and reference countdown. Click to select what you want.
  11. Decrease odometer by 1 meter
  12. Fine Tuning
  13. Enable reverse odometer
  14. Increase odometer by 1 meter

In addition to the fields mentioned above, this screen also has some “hidden” fields so you can customize your screen according to your preferences.

15. Chronometer: to see the chronometer simply click on the Time to Ideal field.
16. Compass: to see the compass simply click on the Sub-stage field and it shows the direction in degrees you are heading.
17. Reference countdown: to see the reference countdown click on the sub-stage countdown field. If you are using the rally's digital roadbook or if you manually enter references for a stage in the editor, this field shows the meters remaining to the next reference.

Below is essential information for achieving good results in rallies.

Time to Ideal Field: this field is the secret to maintaining regularity. It is what allows you to know if you are behind or ahead. The most important thing is to try to always stay close to zero. In the Rabbit the ideal time visualization is easy and intuitive, like traffic light colors: in red you must slow down as you are ahead. Time in green, speed up, you are behind. Time in yellow, you are on time, keep going. If you click on this field, you will switch to the chronometer, to facilitate table navigation when you don't have time to enter the average speed changes.

Odometer Field: this is the real odometer, which indicates the distance traveled in kilometers. Many times, it will be necessary to check and adjust your measurement against the route book. You will have to compensate for line errors and perhaps calibration errors. Making adjustments perfectly is the secret to achieving the best results. To adjust, click on the odometer when passing the actual reference and enter the correct measurement from the roadbook. If you use the Rabbit Box, you can open the adjustment screen and make adjustments more precisely without having to touch the screen.

Sub-stage Countdown: this field indicates the distance remaining to the next sub-stage. Each average speed change is a sub-stage. If you click, you will switch the countdown distance to the next reference. This field changes color based on distance: more than 300 meters in white, between 300 and 200 meters green, between 200 and 100 meters yellow, and less than 80 meters in red.

Fine Tuning: this is an advanced function used to fine-tune the calibration. We will discuss it in a dedicated chapter.
