So...
I mounted it up and I never looked at the damn thing. I seen the lights going but was more concerned with braking points and hitting my marks. My dash looked like a defective xmas tree!!! I liked the idea of its ability to "on track" coach, but i think I'm still a post data guy. My AiM is my favorite tool. I was able to drop times with its help. I borrowed the Apex Pro in the thought of replacing my Solo. I think two things here. A. Its a great tool for some intermediate HPDE guys. B. OR maybe when i'm looking for the last 10th it could be useful when I become a better driver. You know...maybe the younger generation that love those phones so much will adapt to it better. With all that has to happen before I get into the car I didn't want to add my phone to the mix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

With all that has to happen before I get into the car I didn't want to add my phone to the mix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Fair assessment. and its not for everyone. My first time using it I didn't notice it at all - it was too far out of my field of vision. Moved it closer and actually started yelling at in in the car "WTF Red....I can't go through that turn any faster!" Eventually started saying to myself (or outloud..dunno), 'ok, fine I'll go faster'...and I did. Got more green. and faster lap times. So I kept trying until it was almost all green. (still yelling at it when I saw red). I still obviously use my AiM and compared data from early sessions to later ones (you can do that with the Apex Pro too) and saw that yes, I was carrying more speed through the turns. Difference with using the Apex was, I could make the correcting IN THE NEXT LAP instead of in the next session. That's the benefit - simple feedback that you can react to instantaneously instead of waiting until later in the day...or the next day. BTW, I used it in a PCA Club race and by the end of the weekend picked up 4 seconds over my best times at the start of the event. Part from the Apex, part from the Aim, but certainly the data and feedback helped me. |
