DASH2 in a MaX5

Installation of Race Technology's DASH2 is now complete, and all appears to be working well. I ended up keeping the standard MX5 sensors, which means that the calibration is a little crude; but hopefully sufficient for my needs.

The reason for getting the DASH2 was to provide instant sector/lap timing information from Race Technology's DL1 data logger. If anyone is looking to do the same, Race Technology are just about to release two versions of a new DASH3 product specifically targeted at showing the data that's being logged by the DL1.

Entry forms have now been sent for the MaX5 race at Snetteron on the 25/26th May. Going to be interesting to see how the tyres hold up to a 30 minute race.

First post!

So welcome to my blog for my MaX5 racing activities.

For those of you unaware, MaX5 racing is a one make race series based on the mk1 Mazda MX5. For the official site, and the details for the championship, take a look at http://www.max5racing.com.

I've only managed to attend a few races in previous seasons with MaX5, but 2008 is off to a better start. I've already completed the 1st race at Silverstone (qualified 2nd, & finished 3rd), I'm booked into the 2nd race at Castle Combe this bank holiday Monday, and I'm just about to send off my entry for the 3rd race at Snetterton later this Month.
