Can I create a track without being there?

Post by 9646gt »

Ok so this track isn't in the database but is pretty popular here. It's in New Mexico in the United States and the track is named Arroyo Seco. The address is 20030 HWY 549 S.E. Deming, NM 88045. I have also attached two pics of the track. Now my question is, the track day I am attending is next month. But rather than setup everything and risk losing track time when I get there dealing with my phone, can I in anyway set up this track from my current location? I didn't really understand from reading the documentation if this was possible. Maybe someone can help? Thanks and can't wait to test this out!

Also , one more question, if I dont have all the specifications entered for my vehicle, will I notice any issues? I am most concerned with my gear ratios not being correct. Will it cause problems?

Hi,

Have you checked the full documentation on track creation? Here are the links:
http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Trigger_Logik.html
http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Tracks.html

The gear ration documentation is required if you want to get the correct gear displayed. BUT, this will work with an OBD connected anyway. In case you do not have an OBD dongle connected, you can leave it as it is.

Just to clarify: there is no free version of LapTimer. In case you come across such a version, it is cracked and dis-functional. I pursue all cases I get aware of, so please legalize your copy ASAP.
