Have initial reports of good results at Sebring, just like every other track. A few with better consistency and more recording PB’s.
A lot of it is getting to the apex area, who chaired happens to be the interior radius track limit point. I have not heard of the device mistaking a taxiway or access road as the track.

good I have been trying to break 2:30. With adjustment at 17 picked up a sec. says optimum Is 2:30... so there is hope.. I think it worked very well. I did not turn on coaching, as I did not know I had to do that.. . It’s off by default.. I was able to pair with a Bluetooth aux adapter and had it blaring over radio and I was able to hear it.. looking forward to coaching..

Now... back to your regularly scheduled programming. I'm very curious to hear about how people are mounting this in their street cars and running the wiring. Is it terribly important that the camera be in the top center of the windshield? I read a review where they said they mounted it near the bottom center to be more convenient and it didn't mention any ill effects from that. My dashcam is permanently in the most ideal location to put this thing and if I put it on the driver's side it will block that sensor thing on the mirror that's probably needed for the wipers or headlights or some other witchcraft the car does.

I'm away from the unit now, but does it pair to pcm for audio? As weasel alluded to, it was hard to hear in car coaching with windows down. I never pursued the BT portion further after first glance as I dont have the helmet earpiece. If it does play over car speakers, that's a big plus.
This might have been touched on earlier, but my optimal lap seems to vary throughout the day. For 3 sessions I selected rain and the last session the sun came out and track was dry, so I selected as such at the setup screen. Is this what would cause the variance?
For mounting i did high high rvm, passenger side. Its tight real estate once off track. The camera folds up easy and I can get the ezpass and radar mounted without any hassle.
The eagle eyed will notice I forgot to remove the film on the lense. That explains why I was cussing the video quality. User error 99% of the time!

For those of us who are actual racers, driving a super-loud racecar with no windows, either up or down, wearing helmets running blowers, I wonder how well the audio works? Will the audio port directly into an audio-enabled Stilo, for example, or is it necessary to do a bunch of Rube Goldberg bluetoothy ear-bud adaptations?

Joking aside it seems to be ok as long as I attach it carefully and remove it carefully. If I begin to have an issue with satellite signal I can use the arms to raise it a bit like the picture Peter posted earlier. I think the windshield is angled to such a degree that the satellite signal will be ok, but time will tell. I can’t use the large suction cup on the windshield because it is a distraction and blocks my view in certain scenarios. This placement works good for me at this time.
