Is that a formula car or a prototype class car?

No still rallying, my driver's been racing a Radical for a couple of years now but we just got the new one.

I checked the rally cars today as well (Next event is September 16th).

You don't drive it? I read driver coaching. I would be tough to stay away from that.

No I'm crew for this and co-drive the rally car. My main aim the last two days is to learn as much as possible about data collection and analysis, the car logs tons of data which is used to help the driver go faster.

radicals are a hoot. once you've driven on circuit in a high down force car, all street cars seem boring and dangerous by comparison.
james, is that bushy park, and which data logger are you guys using, aim or??

Yes Bushy Park, are you familiar with it?

It's an all aim system with an MXL2 and SmartyCam GP HD.

i'm aware of it, never been onsite, but figured odds were high given your locale.
that sounds like a very nice setup, with capability for as many sensors as you'd ever want to collect data from for analysis.
enjoy your time there!
