This article provides background information on barcode scanners used to process MRP cards.
The MRP Card
The MRP card is a plastic or electronic barcode card that links to a driver profile to identify a driver in MyRacePass. The barcode on the MRP card or in the app translates to the driver's MRP profile. This profile is primarily used to enter a driver in races and for registering in events. A driver can be entered either by manually typing the barcode number or by scanning the barcode. The use of barcodes can improve the speed and efficiency of the back gate entry process and remove much of the guesswork and uncertainty of manually entering driver data.
