tim laper for track days

[stranger12]

Hi ,

Does anyone have time lapper and would like to share their experience about the software and if they are any good.

I want to buy qstarz 1000 which is 10Hz logging ( 10 times more logging than my iphone thus more detailed information of every corner)

They are £120ish on amazon and seem to have a good software.

Any one has used them ?

Do you need one? What exactly do you want to achieve with one?

[stranger12]

find my lap times and how deviating from the racing lines can help/worsen the laptime.

for instance braking late etc or braking early and getting back on throttle early and their impact which the device listed should be able to show these ( it shows your speed and corner entry at each point).

Firstly, do you mean a lap timer, or a tim laper?
Secondly, is this for the sv?

How many track days have you done?

Meh, I get a print out from the pit bike stuff 'cause of my transponder.

It's quite funny to see how inconsistent I am.

[stranger12]

ys lap timer sorry.

I have done few but mostly can be used for cars as well.

The pit does give you the print out which is good to know how consistent you are and how you have performed however you do not know why you were faster or slower at a specific lap which the device i am thinking of buying can tell you .

you can look at the lap and how you have cornered etc

Considered a camera instead?

Output isn't as easy to analyze statistically, but it will contain more information.

[stranger12]

no because it doesn't give you much information on what your speeds were at each corner and how taking the corner different ways has impacted the overall lap time

The device is a GPS timer and nothing more, get an android phone with GPS + RaceChrono free app.

The device will not show you any real meaningful data imo.

Hi

What is your budget?

How about one of these:-

https://www.vboxmotorsport.co.uk/index.php/en/products/performance-meters/vbox-sport

Designed for performance testing, 20Hz, and just uses a phone as a data store. About £300.

Or if you want video:-

https://www.vboxmotorsport.co.uk/index.php/en/products/video-loggers/video-vbox-lite

10Hz, but 2 cameras and logging.

By the way, I tried an older slower Qstartz thing a few years ago. While it worked OK I seemed to lose quite a lot of the logs.

All the best

There is an iPhone app called Diablo Super Biker which you can set up for track use and as far as I can see it will record lap times and show your speed at any particular point as well as lean angle. Give that a go first.
