Lap Timer Apps
Hey everyone!
Next month I am finally going to get the camaro on Road America and i am super excited. I wanted to know if any of you have suggestions on a decent gps based lap timer. I know the aim solo II is good but i dont feel like spending that much for the one track day ill do a year. I have an iphone so any apps you know of would be great. I am currently looking at harry's lap timer. Take care!

I use Track Addict from HP Tuners, it gets the job done, but I do have some issues with it missing start lines and running two laps as one. Though I suspect that has more to do with my setup of the start/stop line's precision.
Data and video playback is decent, and you can edit short segments (3 min max, I think) into video files for free. Further functions require purchasing the backend software for it. |

I have Harry's and really like it, but I also have the Bluetooth OBDII connector and the external dual GPS sensor.
I've heard good things about Track Addict, but Harry's has worked well enough for me that I never have felt the need to try it.

It's not an app but I still use the older version of this G-Tech RR. It's pretty awesome, shows you split times and lets you compare your runs as you play them back.
http://www.gtechpro.com/G-TECH-Pro%20RR I can only assume the new version is even better. |

I've been running Harry's whenever I go out. Seems to be OK and pretty close to PDR times, only downside I've noticed is that it will typically miss a lap or two during a track day. I'm assuming this is due to the poor resolution of the phone GPS. Another friend of mine running Harry's has it linked to a GoPro for video that shows the data overlay, and the GPS speed and map are always off as well. Getting an external GPS would be best, but Harry's is still a decent and (relatively) cheap starting point.

You can also just use the GPS data and ignore the video after the runs, and delete the video while leaving the data intact. |
