Whilst not in the same league as yourself Cal I had a humbling experience in my NA6 when I lent it to a decent driver. The good part was getting his data and overlaying it on to mine, highlights where your mistakes are

However some people are happy to not find out the truth.

Or spend that much on data logging!

No need for any of that Magpie, a simple check of the undies colour should suffice!

Graphing skid marks, nice.

Plohl, that almost hurt

However data logging is cheaper in the long run especially when combined with one on one coaching and the coach doing a few laps in your car with you in the other side.

Haha, no offense intended.

A ginetta comes with an m800 and race dash. I am sure you're aware of their costs. And I suppose what data you're logging depends on costs.

Budget logging ftw! Android phone and an $80 bluetooth GPS, all you need. At least, until you start to not suck. Then you look for time properly. I'm not there yet

Ready now

Car clean, serviced etc
Numbers on to save tine in the morning
Boot packed

Only have to do the fuel in the morning, pack the cooler etc and head off - coffee first at the BP Southbound Burpengary and then 17km to the track

I hear it's illegal to have race numbers on a road car.

Who/what is your source? I wouldn't do it because it could attract unwanted attention from all the wrong people. :wink:

It could be his age

Around 6.15 - 6.30

Race numbers are not illegal on cars dríven on public roads, Porsche actually sell some with numbers as do Mini, in NSW they have to have a diagonal line thru them or removed
