Whether you want to create professional videos, or just fun amateur clips, RaceRender offers a wide range of features to get the job done without breaking your budget.Ĭreate data overlays on your videos for auto racing, autocross, rally / rallycross, drag racing, drifting, gymkhana, motocross, aviation, sailing, cycling, mountain biking / MTB, running, and many other telemetry data visualizations! Also includes additional features for road course racing and track days. It’s especially well suited for users who want to make use of multiple cameras or data recorded by a GPS or datalogger. RaceRender is affordable and packed with features. Enjoy the flexibility and affordability of being able to use a variety of different cameras and data sources. Way back when, I originally I used a SmartPhone app with an external GPS unit for data acquisition but soon after upgraded to an AiM Solo 2 DL.RaceRender enables you to easily create amazing videos with custom data overlays, GPS telemetry, multiple camera picture-in-picture, split-screen, camera-switching, and more! Impress your fans with high-tech video and up to 1080p! Since moving to the AiM equipment, several riding friends have done the same. Here I’ll share some of the things I do to automate and simplify data acquisition. Reflecting on what I’m going to mention comes largely influenced by my day job in IT where I try to automate whatever I can, make it reliable and almost appliance-like. Mount it properly – This means using the included mounting bracket.Mount that bracket solidly and then you can easily remove the lap timer from the bracket for storage, charging, review, etc. ![]() You can buy extra mounting brackets (~$15) if you have more than one bike or alternatively, use a RAM mount ball screwed into the back of the AiM bracket (that’s what I do with my now-repurposed Solo 2 DL, I use it on my street bike when it goes to the track and my mini-motos when I take them to the kart tracks). An OBDII adaptor is required to connect to the car. On my race bike, I fabricated a simple aluminum plate to which I mounted the Solo 2 bracket and still had a spare bracket when I went to the kart track with my mini-moto. An Overlay software such as RaceRender can then be used to generate videos with custom data visualization. You might also check with Sportbike Track Gear, Wicked Racing, Graves, etc. To see if they have a mount specific to your bike. Power it from your bike – it sucks to have your session come up and you’re ready to put in a burner and your lap timer is dead. AiM sells various harnesses and it’s easy enough to tap into an existing switched power circuit (which you definitely want, otherwise you may find your Solo is fully charged but your bike’s battery is dead). ![]() I like to use a headlight or any accessory circuit that comes on with the ignition. Another benefit of it being on a switched circuit is that the timer will automatically power on when you fire up the bike (one less thing to think about) and turn off after the preset time after the ignition is turned off (usually 15 min). This applies mostly to the non-DL version (there isn’t any benefit to the extra $ for the DL if you aren’t connecting to your bike’s ECU). Keep things patched – Again, the real power of the AiM hardware is the data analysis capabilities.Another bonus from wiring it to the bike is that the cable serves as a tether in case the bracket comes loose. You need to connect to it with your PC to pull the data and use Race Studio 3 or 3-beta software. This will give you more accurate lateral and longitudinal data. While you’re there, also check for any firmware updates and map updates and transfer them to the AiM device. I usually do this one or two days before my track day or race. ![]() Connect to your bike – If you have a DL (data logger) version of the AiM Solo, make sure you have the correct ECU profile and test it ahead of time.See image at the end for the area in the software of where to calibrate. I did this by creating additional ‘pages’ in the RaceStudio 3 software for my Solo 2.
