Default Can you download track overlay for Ron Fellows?

I am heading out tomorrow and would like to download the track overlay if possible. No idea how to do it, I went to the Cosworth site but don't understand what to do once there. Has anyone done this and would you please provide any guidance you can. Thanks

They have it for sale there as well. I brought a 32 Gb sd card with me.

I also brought a laptop pc, to analyze my driving line after the first day.

Have fun and enjoy

One last thing, be careful of your speed driving around town, specially after a day’s instruction. Adrenaline is still kicking and LEO looking for speedsters, from what I was told.

Ron Fellows school may supply you with SD cards with their track map installed. If not you can do the following to get the track map setup when you get on the track.
For 1st time on a track…

Open PDR

Select “Lap Timing”

Select “Learn” or “relearn”

start driving track.

When passing your start location hit “Circuit” (PDR will say “learning circuit track”)

(after 1 lap the PDR view will change back to startup view)

After is reverts back to the startup view select “Start Recording” and your times will start to be recorded.

(After done, put SD card in a computer and rename the track with your preference. You can have multiple track maps on your SD card as long as they have different names)



If you’ve previously recorded the track…

Open PDR

Select “Lap Timing”

Scroll down and highlight your track’s name (or select “Custom lap” if you haven’t renamed it yet)

Hit “OK”

Select “Start Recording” and your times will start to be recorded when you pass the start/finish



Have the DIC in “Performance”/”Lap Timer” to show your lap times

Well I am at the school and just finished day 1. They give you a 16GB card with the track overlay and stop start lines loaded. That size card may not hold all you want to record. I brought the 256GB card from my car and they can format it to show the track overlay. 256GB is overkill, but I had it. They will format your card the first morning, before you go out on your first drive.

enjoy your time. It’s an awesome experience and shows you a lot of the car’s capabilities.

One of the instructors allowed me to spin the car out on the wet skidpad section. Definitely teaches you that if the nannies are off and you spin, there’s not much you can do.

Have fun.
