Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[er-minio]

I tried GPS once with my GoPros but they over heated and shut off like 5 minutes into the session.

I don't think you'll get many good answers since most are using an external GPS puck suctioned to the windshield, or something similar that has a more direct line of sight to satellites. You would probably be better served by asking GoPro themselves to see if the antenna inside has had any improvements made.

Yep, noticed that.
Generally not a big issue on motorbikes... other story in the car.
In the car it worked ok while using it in the UK. But this summer I traveled to Italy and did a trackday at Vallelunga (Rome, August, 40+ degrees celsius) and the GoPro overheated badly and shut off. All I have is footage from paddock to pitlane

I am considering buying a GPS puck (Racebox mini probably) as well... but will have to replace the GoPro before that... hence the question as I could "spread" the cost.
Also, the analysis software I use works nicely with the GoPro data.

Last time I was at Brands Hatch (London) last month, I purchased TrackAddict lap time on my iPhone and stuck it to the rear windshield. But it didn't get a fix as well. I think the heating elements or something shields the phone.

One thing I have done in the past (as an option to having GPS) is just counting the time between laps on the recording to get general lap times.

Yep, done that too. Works in a pinch.

Thanks!

Just unboxed the Daiwa Racing Labo heat exchanger (DRLRA010041)

Really impressed with it in person and definitely excited to get it installed. This will be my first cooling upgrade, and since I’ve been dealing with heat soak during track sessions, I’m very curious to see how much difference the heat exchanger alone will make.


Can’t wait to get back on track and see the results. I’ll update the thread once I’ve had a chance to properly test it!
