Race Technology DL1 + Dash4Pro


Early Christmas this year when I got myself a Race Technology DL1 Club logger and Dash4Pro dash to go with it.

I've been using a Racelogic Performance box for many years but always longing for a system like this. One big reason for finally upgrading is to be able to see engine performance counters while driving. It can also show alerts when one or a combination of signals are out of range.

It can also show predictive lap time on the fly, and one side of the shift lights can be programmed to show time slip rate so you immediately can tell if a line is faster or not. It also syncs all logged data with my old GoPro camera and can play back the video inside the analysis software.

The display can be set up to display four screens with any of the parameters available. That means all CAN bus data from the ECU as well.

I intend to add a few sensors in the future, such as steering wheel angle and brake line pressure. If feeling extreme I could add wheel speed sensors and suspension movements. The throttle angle I can already get from the ECU.

Instead of using the supplied bracket I drilled two small holes in the steering wheel to mount the display. I wired the power from the windscreen wiper switch so I can turn the system on and off easily.

I'm really looking forward to try the system out this spring!
