Enjoying my car at the track
I want to do my first track day and will be sure to get Harrys and an odb2 scanner.

Make sure you download the track ahead of time if you're unsure of adequate cell or internet coverage at the track. Lack of service won't affect the GPS but it's way cooler with the track info loaded. The app then knows all the turns.

Pick up a ODB scan tool like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You will get the added details like rpm etc,

Their other model is iPhone compatible, I use this one with my iPhone:
This device is preferred by Harry's and has the fastest update rate of the ones the app supports. It uses a WiFi connection.

BTW - I'm also using an external GPS (XGPS-160) and Track Addict with a GoPro for video. I merge the data and video files with Race Render.

I've used the Sport Chrono just for grins when autocrossing, although it doesn't really understand the "laps" there. I'm sure OP's Solo DL is a much better track tool.
The Sport Chrono is pretty simple to set up and control from the control stalk. It takes one sample each second and includes data that shows things like steering wheel positions, throttle position, speed, temperatures, gear, car position, and a few more I don't immediately recall. You have to convert some of these from metric. In the 991.1 and earlier you pretty much just have to look at this data in Excel as a csv file. I don't know about what's available for the 991.2, but hopefully it is better and easier to read.
I have a Waylens coming in the mail today that should provide some interesting video with coordinated data capture for all of the above-mentioned things too... in addition to the Harry's Lap Timer stuff mentioned earlier. I like data and video
I'll do a separate thread about these things soon.

Has anyone used the Porsche Track Precision app?
