| contents | Autonomous racing has seen significant advancements, driven by competitions such as the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) and the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL). However, developing an autonomous racing stack for a full-scale car is often constrained by limited access to dedicated test tracks, restricting opportunities for real-world validation. While previous work typically requires extended development cycles and significant track time, this paper introduces a minimalistic autonomous racing stack for high-speed time-trial racing that emphasizes rapid deployment and efficient system integration with minimal on-track testing. The proposed stack was validated on real speedways, achieving a top speed of 206 km/h within just 11 hours' practice run on the track with 325 km in total. Additionally, we present the system performance analysis, including tracking accuracy, vehicle dynamics, and safety considerations, offering insights for teams seeking to rapidly develop and deploy an autonomous racing stack with limited track access. |
