Data gathered by a Sumomoto Tutor GPS and GoPro3+ and visualised under RaceRender3

The files from Tutor GPS are in .csv so you can manipulate the data in Excel/Open Office to be compatible with RaceRender.

The PC application with Tutor has too many bugs to be useful.

The big thing for me is I can now analyse my good and bad points of my driving and make progress.

The G force display is not working properly yet, this is work in progress.

Looking good.....How's the suspension set up at the mo?. I'm finding my 200lb front springs to be very stiff.

Yes I think you may be correct, I would like to try softer springs but in the list of priorities it is low at the momnt. It mostly affects me on normal roads at high speed. I have not found much problem on a track as the surface is smooth. The big issues for me so far are the wheels/tyre selection. Due to the rear tub I was restricted to 6J's and 185x15 tyres. I have now hacked the rear tub and it now has 7J wheels and 195x15 with 888 mediums fitted and what an improvement.

The next issue is brake (time to effectiveness). I am happy with the setup in principle but the front discs are too slow to warm up. I am going to try groves. If that does not work then perhaps a smaller master cylinders. I don't like that idea (right now) as I think the pedal travel may become an issue. Perhaps my change to Willwood 4 pots with vented discs was not the best choice, don't know as I never tried it without.

Also need to install a slipper in the diff.
