I saw this from MoTeC at PRI and was blown away. It is not a brand new feature, just something they have in their system that I was unaware of.

As with many systems you can overlay data from different laps or drivers.
MoTeC also integrates video, which you sync the the data, in a worksheet.
What I didn't know is that if you select the overlay in such a video sheet, you will also get side-by-side videos.
You could watch two drivers, both data and video for comparison and coaching.

I have no idea if any other systems do this, but it is worth looking into if you have data and video integration.

On another front, many of the GPS systems now allow you to drive an inside line, then an outside line so your maps show the full track width. You need to be a little careful from day to day - while GPS can be very repeatable over a short period, you may get a drift of up to a couple of feet day-to-day unless you use a dual system with a reference point. Regradless, you can see pretty true lines lap to lap and see the sector times as well. Quite a cool tool for playing with the fast way around the track.

No - as far as I know, Motec does not have any sort of demo online of this feature. The GPS stuff I mentioned is being done by various Data companies - Motec and others, as well as Blackline GPS who make the gear. The only one that I am sure does the offset correction with a second GPS is Motec.

Mark, the new Cup will have Motec and I am looking to add video with data overlay. Will it do that or will I need to use the Aim David and sync wiith the motec data? Any thoughts are appreciated.

MoTeC and ChaseCam are doing some cool stuff together. Right now, you can import the video and add sync points. The video becomes part of a worksheet that can include all the other Motec data analysis tools like graphs. They are showing data overlay on the ChaseCam videos - I don't think that is quite released but if not, it is very close to release. The next step is that the video will use one audio channel to automatically sync with the data stream.

If you are going with Motec, you should really consider the ChaseCam for video as it is going to give you the most integration.

Mark,
DID you do the class's , if so how was it .

SundayDriver

Yes I did. It was a great class - I felt it was well worth the money and time. I came away with a bunch of practical things I can do with data, with the car and some cool stories as well.

Glen

Great thx much for the info!

Geoffrey

Glen, I can help you with the MoTeC stuff when you are ready.

Glen

I am ready. Give me a call next week. Still looking for your car btw.Thx!

I was finally able to get the magazine last week at Barnes and Noble. It will also be in the next 3 issues.
