    Great training and qualifying tool now available

    We are pleased to be able to offer the latest in on-board GPS data logging equipment, the Q-Starz BT Q1000eX.

    The BT1000eX GPS lap timer is a very powerful data logger with 8MB memory able to log up to 400,000 datapoints and with a long battery life of 42 hours, which gives a very strong base to support the 5Hz logging speed.

    The device plots your track around the circuit, or anywhere else for that matter, you can use it for your run around the block, your cycle through the bush or even your swim if you put it in a waterproof bag.

    You can analyse your laps, put as many split points in as you want, over lay the laps on Google Earth (this is waay cool), analyse your speed at any point in your lap, your acceleration and deceleration, and even link the GPS track to an on-board video if you record one.

    All in a device the size of a small cell-phone that sits on your bike somewhere or in your pocket.

    I am using one and it showed me that in Turn 8 at Taupo I was slowing down in the middle of the corner rather than continuing to accelerate. It also allowed me to analyse which lines were giving me the best performance.

    All this for a really reasonable price of $299.00.

    Please visit www.hexagonmotorsport.co.nz for more information or to order.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Shit! That's cheap performance. How difficult is it to use?

    Load software into your laptop/computer.
    Switch on device.
    Go racing/practicing/training.
    Download session(s) into computer.

    Check out how you did!

    Software is pretty straightforward to use.

    Note that it does not have a display, so it is not a real-time display unit, but a post-session display device.

    Add bluetooth & a couple of servo motors & it should be able to apply the brakes and open throttle bodies for each corner Steve :-). All you need to do them is lean over enough ? .

    It measures G-forces too, so it will tell you if you are leaning over enough or too much, or gassing too hard or not enough.
    All you really need to do is bring your cuppa tea and scones (with jam and cream of course).
