Guys,
I thought I'd put this in the Motorsport section rather than the forsale as it may be missed there.
Most of you would already know about RaceChrono:
http://www.racechrono.com/download/?lang=en
This software runs on a many Mobile phones (Symbian S60 and now Windows mobile too!). To get the most of of the timing you really need a GPS with 5Hz aquisition rate. Most standalone GPS's and all mobile phone / pda GPS's are 1Hz making them OK but not preferable as you just don't get a high enough sample rate.
RaceChrono already has most if not all Australiaion tracks preconfigured ready to go. So if you want to lap time, just rock up to the track and start timing, no beacon to setup. You get sector timing, braking data, virtual best laps, overlay laptimes of the local track pro, exports to google maps etc.
Now onto the sales pitch. I have been looking locally for 5Hz GPS receivers and haven't really found anything under $120 + Postage. So I have sourced a batch from OS. I'm going to make these available to the PF crew for $89 delivered (Express Post). I'm targeting a regular sale price of $99.00 + Postage ($9.90)
I should take delivery of the sample unit by Saturday for testing and eval.
If anyone is interested please PM or reply here.
Mods, if you think this post is inappropriate please move to forsale area.
UPDATE:
OK I did an extended 40 min test log. Basically a round trip of Western Sydney, with a mix of freeway and citty driving and the logging is excellent. The only place where is trips up is when you are at a complete stop, I guess is due to the margin of error with the GPS system. This is not going to be a problem at the track as if you at complete standstill then you have other problems!!
Here's a snippet of three seconds on the freeway:
