That's cool. I'm sad as I don't think it's on my new 750S.

 

Did not now that, that will suck as it's definetly an option I'd want to spec when I move to a 750S

 

Weird they got rid of this option. Particularly with the 360 parking it seems you’re partway there to having a cool system. Wish it would have a dashcam feature as well. 2 steps forward, one step back.

 

I believe it's a supplier problem. That's why they deleted it from the Artura.

 

How do you activate it? I have yet to play with it on my car (it has the cameras and the app). Can it be used on a public road for say backroad carving and getting data out?

 

Unmac would have more experience in its function.

 

Race logic /vbox is NOT the system for 720/765/senna telemetry .

it is not Simple to use or set up, or to troubleshoot and not simple for the typical person to use the software or to even screen record with overlay .

as previously stated ; the system is very good. There were no instructions for the first couple of years of 720 deliveries . System has now been out for almost 7 years. No need to re-create the wheel .

 

From what I gathered, it was a rebranded VBOX unit with a new custom OS. This is just garnered from forums so not saying it's 100% correct (and this was mainly based on the 570/600 series).

There are also some (but not complete) instructions in the user manual for the 720S. But no instructions for the track telemetry analysis software after you export.

The file format for the telemetry is .hd5, whereas VBOX is usually .vbo or .dbn, I'd need to investigate to see if .vbo is just a renamed .hd5.

I've found some Python programs that can convert .hd5 to .csv (which could then be used in the telemetry overlay program) but will need to play with it.

It's not

 

Found this thread with some good hints, will try this tomorrow - https://www.mclarenlife.com/threads/how-do-we-extract-the-telemetry-video-onto-a-usb.76978/page-2

 

Yeah don’t listen to unmac , think that Nadeemy guy knows what he is talking about

 

you can do an A-B open course on it but you have to drive the course first and save it as a new custom Track, i've done it a few times on good roads in the middle of nowhere, to be honest its a pain in the arse, because you need to be able to turn round at each end of the course and drive it multiple times,

 

Guess I'm not using it then. No way I'm going through that hoola hoop. I'll just use my dash camera for footage. Likely better video quality too.

 

Most performance spec comes with track telemetry. It’s optional in the luxury spec and nil in base models.

 

This is what I'm beginning to suspect.

 

I was just about to ask about this since my car has the Performance option but I do NOT have the Track Telemetry - App & Cameras. Couldn't find the app in my car's home screen. Now I know why. Thanks.

 

I'm struggling to get this Track Telemetry app to work.
My car has cameras & app. I viewed the guide here: Login • Instagram
When I go to app - almost all options are disabled/grayed out.
I can only select "Track map color" or Storage available" options. Rest are disabled/greyed out.

This is what it looks like:

Does the car need to be in some special mode (Track/Track), running, parking brake engaged/anything else at all????? - to get this app to allow me to configure it?
What is WiFi even used for?

Thank for you help!

 

That's the settings screen. Once you've set those how you want it, you come back out and go to the track/driver selection screen.

 

Man this app is weird and non-intuitive.
So I sorta got it to work, but still not really.
I was able to get to the "main" screen where you select your name, track and start the recording - that worked (but I wasn't able to finish/save it).
For some reason it didn't save it though and my name (new driver) didn't get saved either.

Now the weird part is - sometimes when I select/start the Track Telemetry app - it goes back to the screen I pictured above where control are disabled.
I'm still trying to figure out what conditions make it go to this screen vs. the "main" screen where you can start recording.

I went for a drive, came back pulled over (car still running) - attempted to start new sessions - no dice - screen above.
Start slowly driving - attempt to start new session again - same thing.
After a while - attempt again - now it works, but the "finish" button is not enabled. Is it looking for me to complete the actual "track circle"?
I was forced to press "Discard" and loose the recording.

Whata weird app.....


P.S. Still don't understand WTF is the WiFi settings for???? What's being connected over wifi and to what?

 

I'm going to try and play with it this weekend. I'm a bit tech savvy and see what I can report back in here. I've just spent more time enjoying driving the car than messing around with the app. I have the app+cameras.

 

I was able to capture data on single laps.
