Does anyone have a recommendation for a lap timer that doesn't cost £300? I had use of an an Aims Solo at the weekend and found it useful when trying to be consistent (ish smile ).

I have a spare Android phone kicking around I could use if there are any decent apps for that but would prefer a dedicated device if possible.

Well I am sprint racing for a few rounds before endurance in November, I am hoping to do some more endurance type stuff next year so one that shows if I am up or down during the lap would be great, needs to be GPS as I wont have pit crew for sprint stuff so beacon is no good.

So a bit more research and it looks like a gps module, an iPod, a camera and a wifi obd module with Harry's laptimer any advance on this?

Camera will be mounted to the roll cage, phone will be in a ram mount screwed to the dash, have seen others go through scrutinering with the same so hopefully all good!
