So the 'sports display" is useless (if not downright dangerous)  |
Actually, I started doing this 2 years ago at the mid point of the longest straight to have time to do it, and it's gotten so automatic of a movement, I now do it at start/stop pretty accurately. My
SC times are within 0.1 of the official times, and the real benefit is the real-time colored display on the PCM screen that lets me know if I'm green, yellow, or orange (ahead, at or behind my previous fastest lap or ref time). The annoying thing is if you bump the stalk and get to the en of the session and see tire pressures or nav displayed on the computer, since then the
SC won't record all those inputs you gave as start/stops!
And, yes, I actually do agree with Blueblast, so even though I use the
SC Chrono, I installed a Traqmate...
