Racechrono GPS versus lap timing
How accurate and precise are GPS based lap timers when checked against proper race timing?


 

 

Relative air density and fuelling
Critical to understand for carburettor tuning, here’s how the air density changes with temperature, pressure and humidity. Also features how to calculate it, and some suggested gauges for measuring it if you want to go that route.


 

 

Spark plug codes
