Data logger/lap timer

[glenspeed]

I have been seeing some of the data and plots that are able to be generated from my friends new data logger that he tried at Fastlaps and I'm very sold on this thing.

you can do data plots onto a mapped track layout

usual lap times, beautiful thing is you can determine as many sectors as you want and do as many split times. Really good for determining where you can improve or determining what your theoretical best lap time could be

max speed, speed in each sector

max g lateral, accelerating and braking

I really like the track mapping and overlay feature. That is simply amazing and you can plot your sector times.

I am told you can also plot your actual lines on the map plot if you drive the inside and outside lines of the track to plot the initial boundaries. That would mean you can even determine the best line through the corners with your sector plots....

That's hot... I imagine its real cheap too :)

Are we allowed to use those at lapping events?

$499 new from US distributor - http://vboxusa.com/performancedrift/
But tool is definitely nice, and I think worth it. I guess anyone can
use it on lapping days, as they're not covered by insurance anyway.
Would be cool to use it at HPDE, but it wouldn't be allowed there.

OT: Interesting question - can be standard GPS unit used at
HPDE ? Do any of GPS units have lap timer/logger features ?

Glen, I have the DL-90 (old model) you can try. http://race-technology.com/description_8_956.html

DL-90 allows you to add more inputs, like brake pressure, steering angle those fancy stuffs. But the one you post is great cuz it has a LCD display.
