I've not played with attempting to export with telemetry for any other partial laps, so I can't say for certain. The data is certainly there, but the way the Catalyst puts the telemetry on the video is during the export process. So if it doesn't...-

Driving with the track pads on likely will clean the surface up a bit as they are more aggressive than the street pads. When you pull the pads off, measure for taper wear.

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Very few tires have a tread width as narrow as the Pirelli Trofeo RS.

krisk replied to the thread Cage, Seats and Harness in my S650.That's interesting you would note the lack of headroom in the S650, as I was surprised at the ample headroom even with a helmet on. I'm 6'1" but have shorter legs and a longer torso, so I sit high in seats, and I had no issues with headroom in... (see full post)
