No more dealing with bulky power supplies, cables, connectors, lost chips and faulty sensor pads. Thousands of coaches around the world are using RaceSplitter to give their athletes an edge, with split times, lap times and time to key competitors — live during the race. Never stumble with stopwatch, pen and paper again. It only captures at p and 30 frames per second, plus you'll have to choose between a narrow degree or wide degree field of view at the time of purchase.
That's lower resolution, frame rate, FOV and overall image quality than a GoPro, the current gold-standard for action cameras. So, if visual fidelity is paramount, it may be worth mating a 5K GoPro Hero 9 with the Solo 2 DL and learning to use third-party editing software to manually overlay your logged data.
However, the Solo 2 DL and Smartycam combo are unmatched in their functionality and ease of use. The camera can automatically overlay any of the myriad of data captured by the Solo 2 DL -- like a G-force meter, a live track map, virtual gauges and more -- onto its captured footage, making it easy to share your on-track exploits and victories without having to learn to edit video. Plus, it automatically starts recording along with the Solo 2 DL as soon as you hit the track, so you'll never have to worry about forgetting to hit record -- or being unable to reach because of a restrictive harness.
Here's the catch: We could only find the Track Day Bundle on Aim's UK-based website, so if you don't want to pay in pounds and ship internationally, you'll need to order the Smartycam and the Solo 2 DL separately at the links below and connect them on your own. About the size and shape of a small radar detector, the Vbox Sport packs in all of the high-resolution GPS tracking and precision lap timing of the Performance Box Touch, but without the touchscreen.
In fact, there's no screen at all! While this may seem like a downgrade, the headless setup has its advantages. For starters, no screen means nothing to distract you while ripping it up on the track. GPS, gyro, accelerometer and timing data are stored on an SD card for retrieval and analysis later, so you won't be tempted to look away from the road. The compact size also allows for more flexible mounting, you can tuck it into the corner of the windscreen, out of your line of sight. And if you ever need a screen, Bluetooth connectivity means that you can still view live lap times or review logged data on a paired smartphone in the Racelogic app or any of the recommended third-party lap timer apps below.
It also captures video with a p, 30fps camera. However, the Catalyst's greatest trick takes place after you return to the pit.
At the end of each session, the Catalyst uses artificial intelligence and a built-in sensor to analyze the captured data and video, remixing your best segments into a True Optimal Lap -- a video representation of the fastest lap possible based on the track, the vehicle and your skill level. This, according to Garmin, is better than a split time because it not only tells you how much faster you're getting, but how to be faster by suggesting where improvements can be made.
On subsequent sessions, Catalyst can even give audio feedback in real time to help you achieve the True Optimal Lap -- hints like apex sooner, brake later or good segment -- which can be played through the device's internal speakers, the car's stereo system or even a Bluetooth headset or comms system. Heavy-duty mounting bracket securely positions Catalyst inside the cockpit. Even better, as you improve, so does your True Optimal Lap. The Garmin can also store multiple profiles for different drivers and vehicles.
So why isn't this the best overall lap timer? As good as the Catalyst is at coaching novice to intermediate racers, it's missing a few features. Plus, it's only able to be used for circuit racing and HPDEs; point-to-point racing, drag racing and 0-to testing is not currently supported.
Even with these shortcomings, the Garmin Catalyst is -- short of an experienced human coach riding shotgun -- the best way to get faster on the track and will grow along with your skill cap. TrackAddict boasts an extensive feature set that can transform the iPhone or other smartphone in your pocket into an impressive racing recorder.
The app takes advantage of the phone's GPS antenna to record track position and display lap time, split time, predictive time and more with an easy-to-use interface. It can also record HD video using the phone's camera and overlay data and graphics for sharing. In addition to lap timing for circuit racing, TrackAddict features modes for point-to-point races -- useful for autocross or rallying -- drag racing and even a low-speed 4x4 trails mode that logs pitch and roll information.
Plus, it's free with in-app purchases for only the most advanced features. TrackAddict is also able to ingest precise GPS data from an external receiver -- like the Vbox Sport -- for more precise high-resolution positioning than the phone's antenna can offer and can even connect to Bluetooth adapters to log data from your car's ECU -- such as engine speed, throttle position and more. For a long time, Harry's Lap Timer ruled the roost as the go-to smartphone lap-timing application. It's extremely flexible, able to log and display a wide gamut of racing data, and very easily customizable in how that data is displayed.
I personally used versions of Harry's for many years before switching to TrackAddict's more casual streamlined interface, but with smarter features like laps to pit -- which calculates how many laps you've left before needing to refuel -- and better predictive timing, Harry's is overall the better app. It's also the more expensive app with three versions to choose from. Even at its priciest, the cost is reasonable for what you get, but it's hard to compete with free.
Most lap timers need to be suction-cupped to the windshield or bolted to the dashboard, but the instrument cluster is the most streamlined place to monitor your performance from the driver's seat.
Almost every car already has an instrument cluster, but an aftermarket replacement means you're not necessarily stuck with the factory-installed gauges. Aim MXG 1. Pulling data from your car's ECU or multiple external digital or analog sensors, it can display speed, a tachometer with shift light, temps, oil pressure and more. Plus, with its included GPS antenna and internal accelerometer, the MXG can automatically track and display lap times and split and predictive times with all of the fidelity matching or exceeding the Solo models, storing racing data on an SD card for post-race retrieval and analysis.
For all but purpose-built race cars, a cluster replacement is complete overkill and a little impractical, but the Aim MXG 1. The obvious answer is that a lap timer should accurately measure, separate and store your lap times while you race around a track, but it's a skosh more complex than that.
For starters, you'll be too busy driving to manually mark your laps, so a good lap timer should make use of GPS to automatically track when you cross the start-finish line. The best lap timers will store your laps for analysis and comparison with future sessions and should also provide some sort of performance feedback while on the track.
This could be as simple as displaying a split time or more complex. The more accurate the device's positioning, the more accurate your measured times will be, so a high-quality GPS antenna is paramount. At 80 mph, a car travels around feet every second. So, for fast moving vehicles on a race track, refresh rate measured in hertz for positioning data is just as important as accuracy. I've seen specialty GPS trackers reach as high as 16 to 20Hz, but most good lap timers will have a refresh rate of around 10Hz.
Speaking of the finish line, a good lap timer built for racing applications should have built-in location data for popular racetracks. That doesn't mean you'll be looking at a map, but having the same position for the finish line as well as the same starting points for track segments makes it easier to compare and share your time and performance with other drivers.
Though not strictly necessary -- as with the screenless Vbox Sport -- a large, easy-to-read display is very nice to have. Ideally you'll be watching the grid and not the clock once the green flag drops, but big, legible numbers means that you won't have to squint to glance at your split.
