GBA iCard - Race Data for Race Fans

Posted by Jason

Since every Indy race fan is a GBA owner (though being a GBA owner does not necessarily make you a race fan), SPP Services has released the iCard. The iCard is a cartridge/accessory for the GBA that, when plugged in and within earshot of a raceway’s Timing and Scoring (T&S) system, will display the leaderboards current race. The iCard already supports several racing circuits and leagues, and looks to be adding more in the future.

How would we improve such a device as this? Hook up Mario Kart to render the current racetrack and racedata (to a Mushroom Kingdom theme of course) in realtime. Now I would buy that! Hmm..even a GPS type map would be cool.
