I just had my first test with the Aim SmartyCam, and it is a serious bit of kit. Basically it integrates your Mychron data with video so you can watch yourself drive and use the data to figure out where and why you are quick, or slow!

Race to Win a new Golf GTi - Virtually!
To celebrate the release of their new Golf GTi, VW have put together a nifty little racing game you can play online, where high scorers go through to a prize draw to win a new Golf GTi for 3 months.
The game itself can be found here GTI Project website
It's based on a Scalextric track and the key to being quick is knowing when to lift and getting early on the power. We've had a few blasts but haven't managed to complete a full lap just yet, but hopefully you will see Karting1 on the high score board soon enough :)

MyTach GPS Watch
I've been playing around with the Mytach GPS watch from AiM, and frankly it's even better than the far more expensive GPS module that you can add to your Mychron 4.
The data from the Mytach can be imported straight into the Race Studio software and will produce all the usual features you would expect. You get your track map, limitless splits, speed trace, lat-g and long g. You cab use it to analyse lines and export them to google earth.
The mytach picks up satalites much faster than the GPS module and works inside cars and even inside some buildings when you are close to a window.
