I pay a lot of attention to other data, but as I don't consider the accelerometers of the iPhone accurate in any case I don't pay much attention to these particular values. I'd rather look at the Gs being low, medium and high. As such this round looks like the "higher" end of the scale.

Comparing to other of my videos it shows 0.4G going down the main straight, I assume because the straight is cambered to allow water drainage. All my older vids say 0.3. So probably it's 0.1G off, which would put the true values in the 1.3G range (though then I would have 1.4Gs peak in the last lefthander of the Mercedes arena?). I will just be content that the Gs were pretty high and the lap time for my standards was pretty good.

I think I even lost a second or maybe even 2, letting that ultra-fast white BMW by (insane how he disappears) in the last chicane. I am looking so much forward to next year. My goal is to lap in the low 2:30 with a free round. If I hadn't had to give way to him, a 2:35 would have been possible. Shaving 2-3 seconds off that should be realistic.

My next priority is a proper GPS receiver like the SkyPRO 160 Dual. It would be cool to have useful cornering speeds. But one thing that already is cumbersome is getting all the devices up and running before going out (not to mention charged at home). So far my tasks are:

- Turn on 2 cameras and make sure they are recording
- Turn on lamp in footwell
- Make sure Harry's Laptimer is ready
- Turn off the screen of the radio (if I didn't do already)
- Turn on Tactrix data logger (or second iPhone to monitor oil temp, which is the biggest pain because it sometimes fails to connect to the OBD2 adapter)
- Getting the car in PD mode (which sometimes requires several restarts if waiting for a long time in the pitlane)

I need several minutes already to get the above ready. Add to that:
- Get strapped in
- Put on helmet
- Put on Sunglasses
- Put on gloves

So this might explain when others are walking casually around the pitlane waiting for the stint to start, that I am already sitting the car with the engine running. If I am not that willing to chat, it's not because I don't want to socialize. It's because I am busy getting all my devices up and running.

You can start your GoPros with Harrys Lap Timer automatically, when you press start/record (or pass the start/finish line). Also you could see the oil/water temp in HLT with a OBDII wifi/bluetooth receiver, that would also kind of get rid of the need for the GPS, since you could log/see wheel sensor speed, which is very accurate (unless you want to log your racing line, then you want the GPS). I used this until I got the Pivot DualGauge (for water/oil temp), which also uses the OBDII, so couldn't use both (loved that setup though, since it was nice to see extra data in videos).

On another subject, I finally got my ST XTA this week, so excited to install them, sadly can't drive until late march Are you using aftermarket toe arms, or is the factory setup working well enough?
