100-200 kph

Post by Ray_S »

I'd like to add the "100-200" kph measurement to the wishlist of "0-100" ..

..easier to measure, no clutches burned, relatively independent of driver skills :D

I know it's not 100% precise as to the low GPS refresh rate, but still - not a big deal to implement, is it?

(Don't want to spend 500 EUR on a Performance Box honestly)

Hi Ray,

That's on my list - for sure. I cannot give you a schedule however, as I have even more requested features included in v15 already. You may check this BMW M app that is for free and does something like this. LapTimer will have this in the future.

I will post the roadmap for v15 in the next days.

Hi Harry!

All my friend and myself are waiting for an application that can handle this 100 - 200 kmh!
I am using Laptimer for round about 2 years, best application on the iphone! Great Work!

Greeting Georg

I believe Pocketdyno+ and dynolicious can do it. I have both of them but never tried more than 130 kph :mrgreen:

Bump this topic as we now have the VBOX Sport available with 20Hz which is twice as fast/accurate as the Performance Box. Racelogic provides an iPhone app themselves which leaves a lot out and nothing beats the development and support of Harry. Maybe an idea to make an independant Harry's Performance App?! I would buy the VBOX and the App! =)
There are a lot of people enjoying straight line racing (eventhough we know better) which could also benefit greatly from the experience gathered from HLT development.
BMW 335i E92 - iPhone 6 paired with Dual XGPS150A as HLT master, Optrix XD5 cased iPhone 5 and Optrix HD cased iPhone 4 as multicams.

So why isn't it in Laptimer and the VBOX App as well?

100-200 kph seems a bit high. For one thing, aerodynamic drag will be huge, ~8x higher at 200 kph than at 100 kph. So large, in fact, that it's likely a lot of cars won't reach 200 kph on the straights of most race tracks. Most of us don't live in areas where there are highways with no speed limit so a 100-200 kph run shouldn't be made on a public road. And then there's wind.... Why not 20-100 or whatever your speed range in second gear. For 100-200, you don't need a high update rate because the acceleration is going to be a lot lower. You need high update rate for a low gear because you spend so little time in it.

It's also not difficult to do by using manual timing and exporting the data to a spreadsheet.
