First AutoCross

So I completed my very first autocross this last Sunday in my Porsche at smokies stadium. I had a blast!! Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. I DNF’d my first run as I went off track. I had an experienced driver ride with me the next two times and was able to complete the course the remainder of my runs. I wanna thank him and all the others that I cannot remember their names. The guy that was gridded next to me In the silver corvette was very helpful when it came to tire temp and pressure. I also got to ride on the other Porsche, a very fast GT3. He introduced me to track addict. Does anyone else use it to record runs? Overall, I think I held my own and had fun doing it. I can’t wait till next time. Thanks again. Everyone out there on Sunday.

Welcome Erik! I wasn't at the event but it sounds like you got some good advice from some good people.

Regarding datalogging, I use SoloStorm and I know several others that do. It's great for autocross purposes and I also use it at an occasional track event. I have no personal experience with TrackAddict.

Welcome! I use TrackAddict for autocross and track events, works pretty good... I might suggest picking up an external high resolution bluetooth GPS device, that helps make the data more accurate. Glad you had a great time!!

Erik—If you’re interested in a 10Hz GPS, I got one with solostorm that I don’t need. I’m gonna post it for sale, but if you want it let me know. $75 brand new in box.

It’s this one:

Will this work with an iPhone and track addict?

If it's the 818GT, yes. But at the price it looks like it's the 818XT which would require you to jailbreak your iPhone, assuming that you still can.
