The Fastmate Racing RaceSense Adjustable Tyre Probe is designed for race mechanics and engineers who need precise, real-time tyre temperature data for optimal track performance. Its key benefit is providing accurate, fast readings without influencing tyre temperature, enabling informed adjustments to tyre pressure and vehicle setup. A potential caveat is the need for careful calibration and understanding of its depth settings to prevent tyre damage. This tool features a quick-response thermocouple, adjustable depth settings, and low thermal mass engineering for reliable, instantaneous feedback.

The low thermal mass design ensures that the probe itself does not significantly absorb or dissipate heat from the tyre. This prevents the probe from acting as a heat sink, allowing for a more accurate and uninfluenced measurement of the tyre's actual temperature.
The quick-response thermocouple reaches 90% of the tyre's final temperature in just 2 seconds and 95% in 3 seconds, providing highly accurate, real-time data.
The probe offers precise adjustability for consistent depth measurement between 3mm and 5mm, up to a maximum of 15mm. For optimal and safe readings, measurements are typically taken within the 3-5mm range.
Yes, the probe is designed for general use on various racing tyres. Its adjustable depth and fast response make it versatile for different tyre compounds and racing conditions.
After each use, gently wipe the probe tip with a soft, dry cloth to remove any residue or debris. Avoid using solvents or abrasive materials that could damage the probe.
The cable length for this model is 360mm, providing sufficient reach for most monitoring setups.
Ensure the probe is clean and free from debris. Verify the probe is set to the correct depth and making proper contact with the tyre. Check the connection to the temperature monitoring system and ensure it is secure and functioning correctly.
Check the cable connection to the temperature monitoring unit. Inspect the probe and cable for any visible damage. Test the probe with a known working monitoring system if possible.
Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and free of obstructions. Refer to the product manual for specific instructions on adjusting the probe depth. Do not force the adjustment.
Setup: Ensure the probe is connected to a compatible temperature display or data logging system. Adjust the probe depth using the designated mechanism to the desired setting (between 3-5mm, up to 15mm max) before each use. Handle the probe with care to avoid bending or damaging the thermocouple tip.
Compatibility: The RaceSense probe is designed to interface with standard tyre temperature monitoring systems that accept thermocouple inputs. Consult your monitoring system's manual for specific connection requirements.
Care: After each use, clean the probe tip gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove any debris. Store the probe in a protective case when not in use. Avoid exposing the probe to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures beyond operational limits. Periodically inspect the cable and probe tip for any signs of wear or damage.
