For you what is the best solution? Aim or racelogic for vidéo quality and software? Thanks

I do not think there is a BEST solution and therefore I use both in both of my cars. I like the VBOX for the video and 2 camera set-up. I like the AIM predominantly for data analysis.

FIFY.

Great post.

This is why I've sold both lines for almost a decade. Plus MoTeC, which is where you should go next. You're one of the few who could really benefit from it. Especially with Marc as your guide.

I agree that what is best depends on what you want to do, how well the system works for you, and the support. There are some systems that I think are terrible and others like. Lots of people dislike Cosworth but some of the Indy and IMSA teams love it. It all depends on what you are used to and understand.

I would suggest seeing what other people around you use and what their is for support. The dealers in the US that sell the most products normally offer the least support, which can really leave the end user in a bind of not getting what they need out of the system (even if it is not hard to do!).

Post back with what you decide to get.

Some internal hardware revisions, most of the accessories like the mounts and cradle mounts have been upgraded. I'd make sure the firmware is upgraded.

Contact and register your email and the serial number with Racelogic UK to get access to that.

Based on the suction cup mount and cradle mounts, this is a VERY early unit, probably mid-late 2016. But the serial number is scratched out on the box, sort of scary, so I can't tell.

The version makes no difference to how you will use it or be able to use it for driver improvement. They all work with the current release of CT2 and the current issue of VBOX Video.

Just make sure the software and the firmware is up to date. You should have gotten a disc which would tell you what generation it is. You should register on the Racelogic site, anyway.

SD card.

Confirm that it is set up for that in the scene. It is, by default.
