With 10Hz GPS and triple-axis accelerometer and yaw sensor it covers the same ground as most other data loggers. The RaceCapture/Pro also features a wide range of flexible inputs for you to hook up other sensors.
Where the system really comes into its own is that the system has an onboard scripting language and programmable outputs. Maybe you are trying to stretch every last horsepower from your engine and electrical system so you only activate the cooling fan when the engine temperature is high but not when the car is moving fast enough that the fan wouldn't make any difference. Perhaps you have a turbocharged vehicle, you can now activate an intercooler automatically when the temperature and boost hits certain thresholds but not when you are doing more or less than the speeds you configure. Ever get annoyed that your oil pressure warning light gives you a false alarm at a hot idle or under braking, well you could use the programmable outputs to override the warning light if you're experiencing more than 1G of braking force or you're stationary. If you wanted to you could even connect up a cut-out so that under certain conditions you cut the engine completely for safety reasons.
The possibilities of the scripting really are endless and they don't just stop at switching outputs on or off, the entire system is completely open and can be configured. Even the software has been released as an Open Source project so is undergoing constant development and improvement by the community as a whole. To our knowledge this is completely unique in this market.
We are also going to be stocking the RaceCapture Telemetry Module. This connects up to the RaceCapture/Pro and uploads live data to the web. We expect this live data functionality to be very popular with competitors, pit crew and race organisers alike.
We're not announcing pricing just yet but trust us that if you have seen the market leading DL1 from Race Technology you will be _very_ pleasantly surprised when you see how reasonably priced the RaceCapture/Pro is.
