I've come across a nice little app to add a bit more to a trackday. http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good source for decent phone mounts, in my case for the Galaxy S4. I fear most I have seen online will be sub standard quality. Cheers Phil

The phone mount will have to be mounted to a rollcage as most track days won't take mounts stuck to a window. Not sure what the thoughts are on mounts that attach to the head rest though.

Head rest mounts will be ok as long as they are sturdy clamps. It's just the sucker/stick-on ones that most TDOs won't allow.

It was Javelin wasn't it? Surprised by that, they're usually hot on it. The last one I did at Mallory, they stopped one guy going out...

I've not used Harrys but have used Trackmaster... with limited success. It's not an issue with the software, but with my phone's 1Hz GPS. A lot can happen in a second, and I found the results weren't that great. Upgrading to an external 5Hz or 10Hz would cure that... at extra cost.
The app is worth a try though, to see if it does what you want.
