Pressure numbers front/rear won’t benefit me because I’m only looking for a baseline. Using this info, I’ll be able to measure how consistency I am braking and how much I’m braking etc.

I went with a foot cam to get that information. Combined with Traqmate g-force traces, I can get a good idea of what is happening with traffic (via my other camera) and whether that impacted my braking technique.

I have a bad habit of “nail it, let off, oops let off too much better scrub more speed” braking. The video makes that painfully obvious.

And when you completely miss the brake pedal and stuff the car in the tires, it makes for an entertaining video. That data trace would be much less interesting.:blink:[/quote]

I did notice your foot camera. Pretty cool.

You could insert a banjo fitting (tee) between the master cylinder and the hard lines as well with a SS line coming off as a remote sensor.

Thank you.

Geez they’re fast. The technology will only help you close the gap if you can run with the best.Stick with ample seat time to improve your game.

Not to mention,whose data do you have to compare with?

Agreed - seat time is the most important to make sure your consistent enough to have the data matter. If you’re mostly consistent, then you can additionally use data to work on specific areas of improvement.

As with any data system you can always compare with yourself, eclectic (theoretical best) or the best way - have a better driver throw down some laps in your car. Be careful with TB as you can game the system - make sure you take out any slow laps of the analysis.

This is one approach we use and then develop session plans for driver and setup improvement.
