u will use it on the track o.O i guess it's better rent it from the track on a track day... IMO
i dont think you can rent from Wakefield
i believe wakefield have their own set now.....

this is pretty good if you're looking for more than just lap timing

get a S60 nokia phone. (N70, N95 etc) , grab a external GPS bluetooth unit.
Download http://www.racechrono.com/ - free GPS timing which is as accurate as natsoft timing ~ alot more userbased features too :)
total cost ? probably $150-200 all up.
thanks Benn, does the phone actually need to be active? as in hooked up to a network? stupid question maybe but yeh...
also, how much difference did you see with the timing on saturday and your own timing on your best lap?
No - it can run in "offline" mode - i use a N70 off a old contract with no sim card in it and it works fine.Quote:

it can be as accurate if not more - you can adjust the accuracy.
My times and Aarongs times were the same as Natsoft gave us ( the timers)
