Manual data logging

[scuzeme]

Ive just read an article in BRM about manual data logging.
I see a few guys writing stuff down at the track, taking notes and recording settings and setting changes.
Does anyone have a template that they would be willing to send me as i want to start doing this my self, even if its just s list of stuff you should be recording systematically.

If so i can put it into a PDF format and pass it on.

PM me if you can help.

Cheers

Just simply record settings that work for particular tracks and note what differance they make.
The way to make it usable is to seperate things into sections , eg ; rear shock , front forks , gearing , etc
Also make a note of what the temp and air is like , rainy , hot , etc.
( real important for 2 stroke engines.)
If you note what type of product , (like brake pads ) and when they are fitted that info can all be cross referanced later to show a pattern.

Or .......

You can do what i do , fill the tank , check the tyres and dont forget the helmet .:crazy: ;)

Is it this article?

Thats the one

you can see the data sheet has alot of lines on it, i have emailed the BRM team and asked for the sheet but thought i would post and ask on here too.
It would be far easier if i could get a template rather than create my own.

any chance glen you want to make that doc public?
i would be keen on looking and i am sure some other people would also.

Yeah sure no worries, you may need to modify the wording a little to suit your own machine. I will load it onto the articles & bulletins section of my web site in the next couple of days.

Looks good, It will be obvious what changes you need to make to the sheet after the first few times you use for your machine. Some track days get pretty busy & it can be easy to forget filling the sheet out, - but try to stick to a system of doing it & a pattern at each track (settings wise) soon appears.
It does take some time though to get a feel for whats better or worse when making changes (especially if conditions are inconsistent), but overall it is a good self-teaching process to follow.
Keep in touch if you get stuck on anything.
