Lap Counter

Post by coachmk21 »

I'd be very interested in having a feature added to the Timer display that lists "Laps completed". I do endurance racing with session up to 2 hours and I would find it helpful to know how many laps I've done at any given time. This would be especially helpful when trying to quickly figure out our fuel usage during the race/session. Thanks!

If this feature is already there and I haven't found it, sorry for the bother, but please point me in the right direction.

Yes, Lap of Day and Lap of Session are available in Timer View. It is one gadget which can be switched by touching it.

Once an OBD dongle is connected you will get a remaining laps display in addition. To get reasonable data here a you need a good track record for the track driven. The more laps you have performed with OBD available, the better the forecast. NB: not all cars make fuel level available for OBD.

Thanks Harry. I'll have to do a test session to see that I recognize the lap listing. As for OBD capability, the car we do the endurance racing (1994 Volvo 940 Turbo) doesn't give us that option. It would be nice if it did. In fact, the fuel gauge doesn't even work in the car :(

Here is a recent lap at Pittsburgh International Race Complex if your curious of the interior view. I used a Hero4 Black to record, HLT for data and integrated with a free version of RaceRender 3.
