What is the best software now for track days?

 

 

What I have:

iphone

harrys lap timer

dual 10hz bluetooth gps

wifi obdlink mx

 

 

Wondering if things have moved on now.

I have apple and android phones so what is the best apps and hardware to have now?

I've used RaceChrono on Android....is worth a look

[Tony H]

Is there any features over harrys?

[DanGT]

Not used Harrys so no idea what it can do. But Race chrono seems pretty good with session and sector times. I have compared it with the stop watch and depending on weather its within a tenth or two. Good enough for track days and plug ins are available. I also have the track plug in for Torque OBD which has some really good features and data is exportable. Not played with this much yet though.

I use:

 

- Racechrono

- A qstartz 10hz bluetooth GPS thing

- GoPro hero 3

- Race Render software to put it all together

 

It's a bit fiddly making sure it's all charged up/turned on etc. and I suspect Harry's laptimer is an easier/better option (if you use the iPhone camera). I like the android route as I have a dedicated phone just for data logging. I might even wire it in to the car and make a mount on the dash so it's always there and ready to go.

 

What don't you like about Harry Lap timer?

Its fine but I bought all that stuff four years ago I expected there would be exciting new stuff now. I have my spare iphone stuck to the parcel shelf behind the passenger seat with a short cable to cig socket.

I've been looking to get a similar set up type of set up. Is the OBDlink used to keep an eye on the engine or does it link with the Harry's lap timer?  

[Tony H]

Harrys can use it log data from the obd port. RPM, speed, temperatures etc.

[Mattyboi]

Makes sense! I might have to invest in a set up like you've mentioned. Thanks for the info!

You have a better choice of hardware with android.
