Laptiming Mode
DriftBox can be used to measure lap times by storing the position of a virtual gate and using this to
trigger the start and end of a lap. Further locations can be added to represent split and dedicated
finish lines.
 Start/Finish Line: Defines the point at which one lap ends and another starts. It also
defines the start of a test that ends in a different location, such as a sprint or slalom stage.
 Split Line: Defines a point on the track or stage at which intermediate time and speed
measurements are displayed.
 Finish Line: Used only in point-to-point tests (such as sprint or slalom tests), to mark a
finish point that is in a different location to the start point.
Measuring Lap times
There are two ways of measuring lap times as you drive round a circuit: by setting the start/finish
and split points through the DriftBox menu screens, or by using the „Simple Lap Timing‟ option. The
latter is useful if the user is in a situation where several button presses are difficult to achieve, such
as during a qualifying run.
Simple Lap Timing
This method of lap timing requires just one button push to set up a start/finish line. With the
DriftBox in Lap Timing mode, press either the up or down arrow key as you drive over the desired
start/finish point. The screen will then display the following message:
The screen will then count down to 0 and revert to the normal lap timing screen:
If an arrow button has been pressed in error this count down allows you to abort the setting of the
start finish line, whereupon the lap times will be calculated according to any previous start/finish
points that may have been set.
As soon as the start / finish line is crossed again, lap timing will begin. The lap time will be
displayed at the end of the second lap along with the current best time in the top right and the lap
count in the top left of the screen.
