Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    My car isn't stock, it has been remapped. But I can easily revert to stock. I'll be at Queensland Raceway again this Sunday for more laps along with an iPhone app called Harry's LapTimer Pro. It will time my laps and take video, assuming I can get an appropriate windscreen mount. I think it will be Clubman this weekend, but I'll be running the race map.
    I'd interested in how you find Harry's. It was one I was looking at, but unable to find (not that I looked particularly hard) an external GPS to increase it from 1hz to at least 5hz. By the time I'd have bought external GPS it wasn't far off gtech. I was in the 1.06's on the clubman, but unable to get a clean lap (and it's happy laps) so is a little more in it. That time is from the gtech.

      I'll give feedback on it without an external GPS. Got any leads on a suitable cheap windscreen mount? I've ordered one but it won't be here in time. I want to buy one in the next 3 days.

        Cool. nah mate I didn't get that far in my searching for the holder as the video was appealing but not as critical as reliable timing. I'd be trying Autobarn, repco, supercheap.

            Tried all 3. No luck! Found a suitable one at Big W of all places. Good ol big dub...

                Today's best lap on Clubman according to Harry's was 1.09. A lot of traffic and a lot of coasting. Too small a circuit for 30 cars, IMO.
                I'll be posting a video with Laptimer overlay. Stay tuned...

                  Disappointing when you can't get a clean lap. Not sure if in Harry's you can set segments. I set segments so I can "race" corners and play with different lines and braking approach. Slow in fast out

                    Yes I think you can set segments. I let it do its thing and during the laps it came up with segment times, as you'll see in the video.
