Its 'reasonably' accurate and I use it to review my lines and where I am on and off the power more than anything else. The speed and time are just a guide.

I'm sure the flatter and more open places might be ok, but the hilly and bridge covered circuits would be worse, aka Ring

What do you use Shim? Vbox?...

new app.. Sy's wife timing will be out soon! 7.99 & knocks 1-1.5 sec's off your times

I think the Vbox gives more information, this is the route I will be going next year

Nathan does a good deal

I have the PZ but haven't had time to test it yet. Had it with me at the last race but it ran out of batteries as some numptie forgot to switch it off before bringing to the weekend and didnt bring spare batteries!

I will keep you posted when I test it, but it can do sector times.

But without the ability to look at and compare speeds afterwards it is pretty useless as a tool to make you faster.

If you are racing then predictive lap timing is a must for qualifying, means you can abort a lap and find space rather than killing the car for the last 1/3 of a lap for no reason.

Agreed from a 'racing' point of view. My father in law uses one of your systems for his F2 side car - very pleased with it

I am rubbish with names and can't look it up at the moment but does he live in Scotland? If so I know who you are talking about, nice guy.
