135i track day

mccandless · 06-12-2013, 10:51 AM

This was my first real track session with my 135i. Still totally stock, even the tires.

Neat video - thanks for sharing!
Track looks fun!

Good driving - especially for run-flats!!!

Only suggestion I'd have is un-wind the steering wheel a bit sooner. I think that would help especially with stock tires.

For a second there I thought those were MPH!

My previous track car was a front wheel drive, so it's almost like learning to race all over again.
FWD + Throttle = Understeer
RWD + Throttle = Oversteer (AKA fun

)

Nice! What program were you using to obtain the HUD on the video?

mccandless · 06-14-2013, 06:49 AM

The App i used is called alap recorder.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...Vjb3JkZXJoZCJd
It records the data and video from the phone GPS and bluetooth ODB2 reader.

I used RaceRender2 to compile the video. i only have the limited free version, but i may buy the full version later.

It's pretty cool software, you can pick what gauges you want to show and what they look like. you can design your own gauges to match your car.
You can replace the video from the phone with any other video, you can even do picture in picture with a rear view or driver camera.

Which obd2 Bluetooth did you use?

Very cool. Nice to see another 135 on the track in NS. Are you going to be at the lapping day on Monday?

I wasn't able to make it this weekend, i had other Canada Day stuff happening. Did you make out?

I'll keep an eye out for you next time, i'd like to see what trackday mods you have on your car. I've only had mine for about 2 mouths, so i haven't done much with it yet.
