anyone know how to time yourself at an untimed event?

mates doing sandown. untimed event.

theres probably an app you can get for your smartphone, not sure how accurate or reliable it would be though.

could always have a mounted go pro and check the video later at a certain spot for times? again bit of a guess & hassle but would give you a pretty close idea..

Download RaceChrono for Android...

Pair it with an external 10hz Bluetooth GPS like a Qstarz BT-Q818XT stuck to the top of the windsheild if you want anything resembling accuracy (as a phones inbuild gps isn't going to be able to update fast enough, especially down low in the car (pocket or glovebox or center console))

Add Sandown to the list of "My Tracks"

hit "Start Session", then drive.

Have it in the car and concentrate on the stopwatch while doing 200 down the main straight...

What?

It's no different to quick look at the gauges while doing 200.

[blah_blah]

Yeah I'd rather not click a stop start stopwatch when on a race track.

Again, it's no different to switching lights/indicators while doing 200+ km/h anywhere really. Won't cause you to lose control and heading for armco barrier or concrete wall.

You land vaginas need to ride a bike at 250+ for some perspective

200 is maccas drive through, eat and change gears kind of shit

Or watch youtube footage of nutters doing that speed.

Or watch crazy goat lovers doing 250+ in highway between Istanbul and Ankara, while being followed by couple of BMWs driven like its stolen.

Therefore you'll be fine with a $2 stopwatch. Cos you're not me.

I'm not saying it can't be done it's just not preferred

And I would prefer not to do it, same as every other track day car, haven't seen one driver go out on a hot lap and time himself with a stopwatch in the events I have been too
