IIRC the paid version does a better job preserving video quality as well as gives more flexibility with visual presentation.

The video quality is terrible with RaceRender's default render settings. Jack up the video bitrate and resolution and you'll get much better quality (still won't be quite as good as the original, since your'e re-encoding it lossyly [what's the opposite of losslessly??]). 720p60 Hero2 video is 15Mbit, so I usually render at the same resolution and framerate at 15 or 18 Mbit (15,360 - 18,432 Kbps).

why? It has an OS X version.

Yep, we get 8600 RPMs in the AP2 now

Here's my run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPfO_r-9TQs

I was pretty happy to see 46.xxx on the timer. :-D

Man, you were way off throttle at the end....that could have been a 46.5

but you broke a good bit at the hard left offset before the 'straightaway' prior to the cbox meaning you hit the back side of the cone and was on the throttle for a really long time. That was one of my big mistakes which cost me a couple hundred RPMs/MPH/accel zone compared to Jeremy who was earlier in the offsets.

Datalogging is pretty neat I have to say. While you are driving, you convince yourself you were flatout here and flat out there but the data begs to differ . I broke a few times where Jeremy either maintained speed or was still accelerating.

If you haven't already, go buy Race Render right now. Mac version seems to be 95% stable...

You used my bluetooth OBD2 to data log that ?

NICE!

Hey, what throttle position choice did you use? Mine only scales from 0-79, yours goes to 100 although both will fill the gauge at WOT.

mine only goes to 79 as well

. I made a new column in the csv and ran it through a spreadsheet to normalize it from 0-100. I did the same thing to convert kph to mph.

You can also specify a range like 0-79 for the bar meter in RaceRender.
