If you decide to record video, and use a data aq system like the G2X or Traqmate, there is a program called Trackvision which you can use to overlay the data onto the video.

The overlay of video and data is really cool but it is usually somewhat of a dedicated (closed) system. For this particular work we need high frequency (i.e. high sample rate) accelerometers, quite a bit higher than you need for typical race telemetry. Hence the idea is very likely a no go.
SMG III (M5) would be quite a bit more interesting than an M3 with SMG II. Shift times for that system have been somewhat documented as well. Quoted at 80 ms by BMW, actual times are 200-250 ms.
5 out of 8. Keep the help rolling and we will have ourselves a little test likely to be quoted by the mags themselves. We do need the cars too!
