About Harry's LapTimer Petrolhead

Harry's LapTimer is the advanced tool for car enthusiast. It records all types of sensor data provided by your smartphone (or external sensors), combines them, and makes them available to optimize your drive. Over time, you will get insights on your car and in your driving, not known before.

LapTimer offers more than 800 predefined racing tracks world wide. With its assistants, it is extremely easy to setup - just click your track and drive. It fully automates your lap timing using GPS, and presents the results to all kinds of media.

You are not limited to track driving. For example, you may define your home and working locations as a 'track', collect statistics on different ways chosen, and analyze / optimize the time used every day.

Want to show your drive to your friends? Recorded data can be analyzed using purpose designed views, making it easy to analyze and improve your driving performance. This includes several export formats including Google Earth.

Using online racing, you can use LapTimer in competition. LapTimer offers a Hall of Fame, allows watching you and your friends on track - all in real time. Compare your sector times, braking / acceleration points, and learn from each other.

You can start with your plain smartphone in the beginning and add external GPS and OBD II sensors later, step by step, and as you need it.

Please note that functionality depends on your device, the LapTimer edition chosen, and sometimes even external sensors added (like OBD II). Please visit our web page to get the full story. All edition can be upgraded later.

There are quite expensive stand alone solutions for track days available. Be smart and own the leading edge tool simply by using your Android smartphone. Besides the professional area, there is no known solution that offers more functionality than LapTimer does - across the market. As our ambition is to offer the best tool, LapTimer is enhanced continuously.

This is the Petrolhead Edition of Harry's LapTimer. The main differences compared to Rookie Edition are video recording in parallel to data recordings as well as full on device video overlaying. In addition, LapTimer Petrolhead features advanced analytics and online functions.

Important: As a power app, LapTimer is quite demanding in terms of main memory and processing power. The Geekbench benchmark shows a good comparison of current devices and their processing performance. My tests using LapTimer v18 show you need a device scoring 1200 in the MultiCore benchmark to have fun. This means a device like Samsung's S III is kind of the lower end. Especially when recording and overlaying video, go as far up as possible.

In case you have purchased LapTimer Rookie already, please check the Add-ons view in your Rookie app for an InApp upgrade from Rookie to Petrolhead.

Just one question..when I get a clip overlaid with export function why do the frame rate drops dramatically? Is there any way to get better quality overlaid vdo that I can upload?

I really had high hopes for this app. I took it out to the streets of Willow last weekend. In both recording sessions the overlay data is totally wrong in fact when I first started using the app I'm sitting still pulling 50 mph and 1G . it seems to me this app was an overly ambitious project for one guy. I hope that the issues can be fixed and I hope that there's better videos on how to set this thing up and get it working. For example, one wrong finger swipe and one of my sessions was deleted. No warning, nothing. in addition the interface is totally unintuitive. I think overall the app needs a complete overhaul to make it simpler as the app seems to have evolved into something totally different from which is was intended and the GUI is not designed for what it is today.

Great app, have used it several times on many different tracks and it works really well. The only thing I dislike is that there is no option for an account to keep all of your laps safe, I've had instances where I've broken my phone and haven't been able to backup the laps, resulting in a total loss of all previous laps. It would be great if you had an option to create an account with auto backup of the laps.

App shutdown 30 seconds into use at the track. Overlay on both GoPro and phone cameras was non-existent. Currently in the process of attempting to obtain a refund.

Great app, awesome developer! Harry's is a highly accurate tool for recording lap times, analysing data or just making really cool videos overlayed with on board telemetry. While setup at first appears complex, it's actually quite easy to get started using the in-app guide or online tutorials. I've even created, submitted and had approved a certified track set for my local motorsports complex. However, what sets Harry's LapTimer apart is the responsiveness and helpfullness of the developer. Kudos to Harry!

The lap analysis features are better in other race apps. I m looking for an app that can provide velocity and map position overlayed on a map and to be able to compare laps. This app supports very little of what I need at the moment. However, video overlay works really well now after the new update.

Takes a little bit of reading to figure everything out but well worth the effort. Absolutely love this app - hands free lap timing, lots of analytics, connects easily and consistently to my ODB2 device via Bluetooth. Visit the site first and learn lots in order to get the most out of it - you'll be glad you did. Excellent.

Have used Harry's GP at a few tracks in Florida and Georgia. It works seamlessly and I have even interfaced with Vbox to take advantage of the 20hz gps. However, it's not necessary. Excellent support. Harry has responded to my dumb questions within hours!

L70%
by L####:

Clunky, unintuitive and impossible to get the inputs properly synched. It maybe is ok if works properly out of the box, otherwise a horrible experience. The config screens are anyone's nightmare. You have heaps of little icons everywhere, colour coded laps but without any explanation on what all that means. And why do I have to click agree every time it starts??? Oh and it is way too expensive for the badly designed program it is. I have wsted hours upon hours navigating the horrible interface ...avoid!

The video overlay with odb info is what I wanted. I used a recommended odb device, but it was wildly inaccurate and very hard to configure and use. Huge waste of time and $, but the lap timer is nice.

The maim reason I went with this version of the app was because they promise of easy overlay with internal and external videos. Unfortunately hardware encoding is not supported with my phone, a OnePlus 3. Instead I'm being forced to do software encoding and it takes more than 4hrs for a 20 min video. It also doesn't support the raw video size from my AS200V Action Cam. Then I need to convert it and compress it, decreasing quality. If it weren't for this I would give it 5 stars.

Way too complicated. WTF with video???? Not user friendly or intuitive. $20 and lost memories down the drain for track day today. Ridiculous. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ANDROID USERS.

Best track day app available. Easy to use, fantastic data overlays, and feature/options rich. And on top of being a great app, Harry's support is second to none. Fast responses.

This app is so much better than anything else out there and produces results a lot better than much more expensive solutions, definitely worth every penny!

Initiated the timer with video recording, once I saw that it was recording I set aside. After track session I open the app to find it frozen with "camera recording. " I do not believe the features this app provides are to the level that warrants the cost. I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S7.

This is my third year using it. I love it. Wish it was as android friendly as it is Apple friendly, but works fine.

I've read and reread it. Paid $20 for an app that is useless. So disappointed. Save the money by buying something that works. I've warned you.

Absolutely amazing track day app. Preload tracks and it does everything else even overlaying GPS data on video. Systems costing hundreds of dollars more don't even compare...

One thing i would recommend is the ability to add another phone or gopro like the ios version for android.

Every time I go to the track, I have an issue. Last time it wouldn't function because no connection to download POI, this time it recorded video and data but won't overlay. It said it's processing video but goes back to the opening screen. Frustrated in Seattle, using Android.

Why remove functions available only if upgrading for an additional cost? Really not OK! In previous versions the overlay data had engine power included, now I have to upgrade to get the same feature...
