Re: Close Call at South Bend
Yes, I looked at AIM, Vbox and Racekeeper but I wanted to wait to see if any company would take the lead for wide spread support. Orbit is just starting to use VBox. It looks nice, but I wanted them to get a bit more experience before I garbage the Traqmate, but now it has become totally useless, except for seeing my laptimes as I pass start/finish.

Re: Close Call at South Bend
One thing that would be really nice if we can choose something for our Register members, so we can share files across the board. I am not sure there is an ideal setup that will please everyone, but at least for DE purposes, we would need something reliable with support and easy to use.
Frankly, the RacePak unit I have, has been very reliable, almost fire-and-forget type if you don't worry about the TPS, RPM and other electrical connections as options, and their support has been superb. When I have an issue with the software, they remotely connect to my laptop and do things for me What is not so nice is the Datalink software, cumbersome and complex at best. So now I am looking at this: http://www.chasecam.com/catalog/29/dm10datamodule The software seems to be very good as I hear, the new version, cheap, auto video/data integration and reliable ODBII connection via ODBII cable, so single cable, you get all. It is still lacking yaw readings, but for the price, I can live with it.

Re: Close Call at South Bend
The only problem with Chasecam is their video systems. They are horribly unreliable. Systems like the POV-VIO 1.5, the GoPro HD, and even SmartyCam are the preferred solutions. If I went with an all-in-one solution I would go with SmartyCam. Scott has the setup and it is very cool.

Re: Close Call at South Bend
The SC is tough to beat for and all-in-one for:
However, if you want RPM, throttle, brake, etc, you need an ECU bridge, which I did install myself without too much issue; this setup however still isn't a true datalogger; I've heard it might be in the future though. I am now running the EVO4 + MyChron3 + SC. (link) (link) |

Re: Close Call at South Bend
AIM setup is only a true data logger with an EVO or other datalogger unit; the SC only does video with the data overlay.
I think its time to break this out into another thread. :>) |

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Fatih, Scott just covered it. With that said, SmartyCam has the ability to provide the data file if that open that open to the end user. But right now, it is just overlay with the data file locked inside
My reco for SC was based on the poor performance of the ChaseCam camera systems. |

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Data loggers are definitely another thread. I am working on an approach, but I still need few weeks to possibly bring an option for our Register. We'll see...

Re: Close Call at South Bend
I just overnighted my Trackmate Display Unit to Traqmate in a last ditch effort..

Re: Close Call at South Bend
I put these side by side:
I think it is all tire grip, brakes and LSD, I seem to drive the same? Rear tires because they were corded day one and full thread day 2, the front hooks up much better but that is because LSD losened up, the front tires I had in 2011 were about 12/13 days old. 2010 Much faster through sweepers, ass planted much more. What I lose in T1 I make more than up through S-es. Temps were colder needed 6th. on back straight, even coming out of Oaktree slower in 2nd. 2011 Much faster through T1 and oaktree. Next time I will try short shifting through the small first S-es. 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goB2-...mbedded#at=240 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqQ2K0pTwo4

Re: Close Call at South Bend
It is hard to find fault from the videos given the corded/used up tires; without grip and/or full braking ability that comes with new pads, it is hard to do any better IMHO, but here it goes:
Cheers,

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Thanks Fatih!
It is faster in T14. No rev limiter there, but I went to 6 if I was not on a good flyer lap. You are right in that I overslow the car still.
Taking it in 4th. might settle the car better? Needs work for sure, just not sure how yet.
