Data logger racerender1/31/2024 ![]() In rallying, you are usually looking at differences measured in tenths of a second/km, but it's very common to have 2 cars timed within 0,1, or even 0,0s, over a stage of several KMs. The above leaves us with a somehow "averaged" reference, which occasionally is useless for the differences involved. A car will usually change over the years, the crew is on a different mission/strategy each time, the conditions may vary alot each time you visit the stage, ect.ģ) No laps, or start/finish line: Clearly the start line is different than the finish line and on top, those might move, even on the same event slightly, due to external conditions. References: The reliability and relevance of reference data is somehow questionable, due to reasons like the ones below.ġ) No 2 runs are the same: Stages, especially the gravel ones, tend to change over time, conditions, or even car passes through the same day.Ģ) No real reference lap is possible: Driving the stage in anger, especially with a rally car is not allowed, so you can only rely on historical data, if available. Logging mostly on rally stages, offer some unique challenges, compared to what you describe in the course, which i would like to discuss with whoever is interested. I have been working with Race Technology products, which back then were within budget and offered a nice integration of my GoPro cameras, but the strategies, techniques and approach is clearly applicable, regardless of the equipment. In my 15 years or rallying, i am using cameras since day 1 and a logger for the last 10 years, after a crash, when it became obvious that even the most open minded and honest drivers, are no reliable source of data under pressure. Looking forward to the more advanced stuff, like damper pots ect. ![]() Great content once again! High-end distilled info, structured properly.
