BMW M2 Build - Data Logging Setup

Not only do I love to modify a car simply to modify a car, but I love it when those mods actually make you go faster and become a better driver. Getting good (and easy) data logging in a track/race car is critical. There are many different options to choose from ranging from smartphone setups, to advanced amateur setups, all the way to pro level setups. To read about what data system I put into the SVMC M2 check out this blog posting.

But what I found out once I began using that setup was that I was getting some confusing data readouts. Getting bad data is worse than getting no data. So I once again reached out to my friends at Edge in Fremont and they hooked me up with their data guru Jeremiah Wennermark from Man & Machine Consulting. Very quickly Jeremiah found out that my config files for my AIM Solo 2 DL and Smartycam were not setup quite right. He was able to provide me new config files remotely and I was able to simply load them up.

Jeremiah and I also talked about how to get better data from the SVMC M2 which either means upgrading the AIM system or moving over to a Motec system. Both of those options will require a good amount of coin so for now I will use my AIM Solo 2 DL but I do agree a more flexible and powerful system is preferred. Jeremiah also offers track side analysis, remote analysis, and complete data logging car setups. If you are in the need to work with someone on getting the best data logging you can, or you simply want someone to help you understand what all those squiggly lines mean after your race…..reach out to Jeremiah at Man & Machine Consulting.
