Lovely! Whats the cost for the chosen wheel, Anders?

[dude]

this dash fully interfaces with my MBE-system (and others) and shows whatever i want on display (programmable).
it log the gforces for up to 2h racing and can draw a speedline after that and compare each lap to another.

will take a while to learn i guess

it´s a kart-steeringwheel and it´s 300mm.

that is mega cool man. i was looking at the stack stuff and predictive lap timing / software for comparing laps etc and the only thing putting me off (apart from the price ) was that you need an infra red beacon on track side to get all the functionality - do you need one with this gizmo?

i have both magnetic and ir laptimer in this dash.
almost every track here is equipped with a wire under the tarmac that gives the trigger needed and if it´s missing i can use the ir.

under practice or race there´s always at least a couple of ir-transmitters by the track from different teams.

i really don´t know, i just thought it was the coolest/lightest wheel i´ve had in my hand so i ordered and the total cost for my system was 950€ + VAT

that's a great idea dude! Please show us how and where you mount the magnetic sensor on the car when you get round to it.

If you're caught timing on a trackday you'll be booted off and in theory could invalidate the PL insurance on the day - don't do it.

hmmm...my wallet breathes a sigh of relief....

Are there any days where timing is allowed without having to enter a full blown competition?

Most circuits do testing days but i think you have to have a MSA license Also, it will be rather scary having full blown race cars passing you at 200mph! You will be the slowest bitch out there

You mean you're not coming?

Best you can do and still stay within the regs is mount a DV cam – you can time it to a fraction of a second that way – not 1/100ths, but who of us is that good that it really has to be that accurate? Best not to shout about it though perhaps Not allowed at Nürburgring...
