The Whole Track
Ever notice one car doesn’t look as good over the bumps as another. Most times we chalk it up to better dampers, different suspension designs, or even the driver’s skill and/or track position when they hit the bumps. While those things certainly play a major role in how the car looks and handles, sometimes there is more at play.

Does it make sense to put a $400 AiM SOLO in a $500 Lemons race car? Of course it does! Within our small team of 5 folks, we were each able to improve our individual lap times by comparing our speed, longitudinal G, and lateral G force graphs. Throw in the ability to use the GPS features to compare our driving line and we had one teammate lose over 3 seconds on a one minute 31 second lap. That is a serious improvement!
