Predictive Lap Timing
Instant driver feedback for real-time driver development
Predictive lap timing has been available for some time, but traditional methods have generally relied on a distance measurement (normally from a wheel speed sensor input) for calculation.
However, distances lap-to-lap almost always change: either by trying different lines, overtaking other cars, or perhaps by locking a wheel. Predicting a lap time accurately using this variable is nigh-on impossible, and is exacerbated on longer circuits.
We employ GPS position from a fast updating data logger - rather than distance - to align the reference and comparison laps. This offers unrivalled accuracy even if the driver takes a completely different line each lap. The system will maintain 0.1s precision the entire way around any circuits, including very long circuits such as the Nurburgring or Spa.
Which RACELOGIC products are suitable for predictive lap timing?
Predictive lap timing is available with VBOX Video HD2, Video VBOX, VBOX Sport, VBOX LapTimer, Performance Box Touch, and VBOX Touch. This makes us the most accurate predictive lap timer on the market.
Our performance meters are already an industry standard. With their ability to record speed, acceleration, lap times, power and numerous other parameters, they can be found on race and track day cars, magazine road tests, Guinness World record attempts and vehicle proving grounds.
