Default Thanks to all, track video, and G force

Folks, after having the car for 2 weeks in February and getting it back a couple of weeks ago. I have been waiting for my track day yesterday like a kid before xmas.

I have spent the past 2.5 weeks running it in, 1500klms of hard running increasing revs as the klms increase.

The thank you goes out to those that encouraged me to stick with it, assist with camber settings, tire pressures etc.

Thanks

This is the first new car I have ever ordered and has been a dream for many years. I have owned various porches over the years but nothing that compares to this! The power and grip is amazing. The corner speed is something that will take me many more sessions to come to terms with.

Yesterday I took it to sandown raceway, Keep hot pressures at 30F and 35R had an alignment done and set front camber at -2.2 and Rears at -2

I had a couple of 6 laps sessions, then got the chance to have one of our local V8 SuperCar drivers sit with me for another couple of sessions, helped me get my times down to something respectable. 1:18.1 (Note local v8 supercars run at about 1:12 on slicks) so I was very happy for first day out.

I personally wont make any mods to the car till I sort out the variable behind the wheel, me!

enjoy, video taken with AIM Solo-DL connected to CAM bus and SmartyCam HD



I have attached (I think) an image of my g-force reading at the end of the day

I am new to this so please tell me more about your instrumentation, how its integrated into the car, and how do you superimpose with the video?

The solo-DL can be ordered with a CAN bus connector or ODBII connector.

I purchased the can bus and had an Auto electrician connect it (1/2 hour job)

The SmartyCam HD connects directly to the AIM solo-DL and the overlays all happen automatically. everything is powered from the car via the CAN bus.

The PDF on the AIM AU site probably explains it the best here. The full Porsche list is here and includes the OBD-II port option, which has access to less channels (13 versus 22 for CAN).
