akuma. don't rely on the internal gps for accurate timings. I've used race chrono a couple of times with the internal gps and a number of sectors will be missed. Using internal gps, there are only 6 sectors recorded. The lap timings were also then inaccurate when I compared with video and stopwatch. Some laps would match while others wouldnt.
Using an external bluetooth gps to the phone, the timing becomes much more accurate. all 11 sectors (in the sepang map provided by Racechrono) are displayed and the timings match stopwatch timings all the time.
basically, if your gps is not capturing 11 sectors in racechrono, its not going to be accurate.

OFF TOPIC - RACECHRONO

akuma. don't rely on the internal gps for accurate timings. I've used race chrono a couple of times with the internal gps and a number of sectors will be missed.

I notice some E71 users have that problem of missing sectors. So far I've been lucky with my E90 with all 11 sectors showing, as I was told the internal GPS in the E90 is better.

But I must say in certain tinted cars, my Racechrono in my E90 don't work at all.. can't detect any satelite reading

What External Bluetooth GPS do u use eh?

faisal. I'm using an external gps from qstarz. Its a taiwanese brand I believe. Pretty strong. I don't even place it directly under the windscreen. I just drop it in the pocket of my door and link it to my phone via bluetooth.

Bart,

[bart.ahmad]

1400hrs-1700hrs Cars Open

And please take note, starting next year, the new fees shall be:

Bikes Bikes >400 cc - RM150
Cars Open - RM300

Safe speed.

 

[h3id3rn]

Thanks bart for the updates, however would it be possible to convey the message to SIC management that the fees increment are a bit too much? Last time it was only rm50 increment from rm150 to rm200 but currently they're doubling it by increasing rm100 which i find it is quite pricey for normal people like me to be able to afford this. This will probably turn off a lot of people including myself.

Thanks

 

[panjang ensem]

rm300??? walauweyyy.....die laa like dis..........

 

[chinozie]

wahhhh...RM300

Bart - Any good reason for the price increment ?

 

[CyborgR]

due to heavy traffic on the track...:D price increase the number of cars will reduce to avoid jam :D haha

rm200 = 100 cars
rm300 = 67 cars

 

[akuma]

i 2nd dat....increase to RM300 is too steep 4 mere mortals like me....who can only afford 2 play w a 1989 ol junk.....

First of all, just to clarify, sort of disclaimer. My answer is not and cannot be taken as official reply from SIC.

From what I see (as staff), the maintaining of the circuit is "scarily" high. We can not deny the fact that SIC is one of the best circuit in the world and the other fact (which many of us do not know) that other tracks which is close to SIC in terms of facilities, charge way high than SIC does. Even other smaller track in the region charge more than SIC. And them, with lower maintaining cost.

Nobody likes price increase, me includes, but it is invertible. SIC might not become one of the best track in the world if we can't maintain the state of track as what it is now. But of course, everyone has the right to voice out their feelings and in SIC case,

please channel it to [email protected]

SIC's CEO himself will read that.

 

[morpheus]

PROTEST!!
Too expensive.. Red light 30 minutes also didn't compensate. still want to increase. too much. this will turn us away, not to play safe at track but to play at federal road.
I though goverment is having a F1 team is to encourage us on motor Sport but now ...
I will start send them email to complain. friend what are u waiting for.. Let them hear us..

 

[chinozie]

OK la... i can understand where u're/SIC is coming from, but with the extra hike in price, make sure that we can see and feel that its money well spent on making the facilities n services at SIC better,nicer, etc
