Is this the best slot car lap timing app?? Oh and it's free

Ойын-сауық

So it's about time I answer the most asked question "what timing system do I use" well here it is.
Lap Trax, a completely free timing app for android phones, can be used for slot cars, RC cars.... really anything with wheels.

    @@thatslotcarguy v2.67 is currently slowly being released to the public, which is just a few bugs fixes, no new features. I am doing some early tests on a "LapTrax Lite" app that would be a motion-detection only, stripped down version of the app, but would be very battery-friendly, running with screen-off. Also had some ideas for a 'tournament' mode with simple round/heat/match-making, but still just ideas at this point.

    Colourtraxx mode works the opposite of how you said. It goes by car colour not lane colour. As the matter of fact, it won't work if there's a colour in the background that's similar to your cars. For example if you had Carrera's red/white borders on the track the software won't recognize a red or white car for lap times. I'm a little sad you didn't set it up for two cars running at once. I never could figure out how to get it working without using colourtraxx.

    motion detection only works with one car, since it cannot determine the difference between cars. ColorTrax mode works with up to 4 cars of different colors. EDIT: for slot-cars, I could re-write the motion detection to detect in different lanes. I might look into that.
