The guy doing the video looked to have some good timing software or app on his phone..anyone know what it is..

Not that I am interested bas you are not allowed to use on a track day.. and definitely not bright to make a video criticizing the TDO whilst showing that you were timing!!

I think that it's Harry's lap timer. But there are different versions and you need an external gps with better refresh frequency to get accurate lap times.

Don’t bother I’ve got it and it’s a huge faff. Also as Ben says not very accurate without proper GPS (ie 3 secs off round Blyton)

Best you can buy aim solo 2 360 quid but worth every penny

The aim GPS is great.
 

You do nothing. It knows where you are and does it all without touching a single button. 

 

I really like having it - even though I got it on a bit of a whim. I’m not a quick driver (obviously!) but it’s great to get the feedback to see where I’ve improved (or the car has)

The solo 2 is just a stand alone lap timer. If you don't have any other aim products it's great. Although I'm yet to use it. It gets rave reviews everywhere you look.

Another vote for the Solo. Welcome to borrow mine if you want to try before you buy Martyn, though it really is as easy as others have said - brilliant bit of kit, best I've tried by far (loads of apps, with and without an external uprated GPS receiver, and a Race Technology DL1).

 

The lap timer itself is only a small piece of the puzzle, learning to use the software (in conjunction with the data that the lap timer gathers) is vital to get the best out of it.

 

AIM have a very good YouTube channel with tutorials, and you can download the software and some sample files for free.

I reckon the software would run on my casio calculator watch. I think it may have been designed in the same era as well

The guy's brave - if my exhaust sounded like that I wouldn't wear an open face helmet...
