BMW M4 RaceKeeper & Harry's Lap Timer Video From Spa and Nurburgring with Karussell
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com For all of you racetrack aficionados here is some great footage of hot instructional taxi laps of myself and other BIMMERPOST ED trip members lapping with RS Touring race car driver & instructor karussell who led the group with me and set up the track experiences for us. The video includes integration of RaceKeeper and Harry's Lap Timer software on the famed circuits of Spa-Francorchamps and Nurburgring during the recent BIMMERPOST M3/M4 ED adventure in Europe. The car is owned and driven by Karussell and is a factory fresh completely stock MANUAL 2015 BMW M4. Don't miss a couple of awesome monster drifting views from the inside at Spa with Karussell and Sabine Schmitz to see how its done Karussell's reviews of the BMW M4 based on these videos can be seen here if you missed it ( http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1005166 The RaceKeeper and Harry's Lap Timer Software videos include comprehensive simultaneous interior/exterior views of trackmap, driver, throttle, speedometer, RPM's, and G forces around the course. Karussell ran the car like this all day riding solo and providing taxi laps to the BIMMERPOST Group all day without any issues. The car performed flawlessly and stayed cool all day. Huge thanks to Karussell for showing us how its done and that I have a long way go in my driver training Racetracker Videos at Spa: Suave's Taxi Lap: 1slowE82cp Taxi Lap: Nurburgring Laps: M4 Nurburgring RS Touring run run run: Harry's Lap Timer run 8:23 in Traffic: Jim + Sabine Schmitz+ M4 + Spa = drift sweet: : AND JUST FOR FUN and comparison Karusell's lap in his Porsche GT3 RS to show what he can do inside a proper race car during public driving:

Racekeeper uses obd2 input. the mapping is a little delayed especially the brake light on one of them. the recorded data is accurate however and helps with improving on corner entry and exit speeds.

I have never seen an app that does that and perhaps too much distraction while driving anyway. Perhaps @karussell is aware of something?

the racekeeper video looks sort of clustered everywhere.....can't you just use (however many) gopros in better locations, Aim solo (or any other data logger), and an external mic?
i feel like some of the track videos of other members in bpost are way better in terms of quality and fun factor. still a good watch though i just wanted a better experience in terms of being able to see inputs and sound! |

if this software were to suggest a corner speed but its location was one inch off you could have a catastrophic result and imagine the liability. as someone else previously said it. its the driver's job to do that. i'm glad it is.

Tell that to rally drivers.

I don't disagree that a driver should know their course in most cases, but unless you're Sabine Schmitz, hitting the Nurburgring is a liability *without* some kind of turn direction. If what you're telling me is that such an app doesn't exist, then I think I'll go ahead and make one ahead of my trip to the green hell. |

i have plenty of vids on the track (no datalogging in video but i have mlaptimer on and compare my inputs to faster friends).....but my videos are from between the front seats so i can see steering input, a foot cam to show foot work, and my mic is attached to the rear so i can hear throttle input. dont want to thread jack or get hated on because im still of the e9x group (i'm poor or i would possibly have an m4 already) i actually want to go out to europe to enjoy all those amazing tracks!! if its ok i have posted my latest video here...i will remove if needed. |
