Hi.
AutoWebadas (www.automodelismo.com) is a web on R/C car racing, written in
spanish. On the section "Trucos" (tricks) it is described with detail how to
use a chronometer with a descending continuous timer and a brief beep (rare,
but exist) to improve your driving skills and check minor changes in the
setup of your car, using the timer as a metronome as follows:
-If a good lap is, say, 20.5 secs, set the chronometer to beep every 20.5
secs.
-Place it next to your most sensitive ear.
-Drive your car. When the timer beeps, the car should be at a far point, so
that the engine (if gas powered) sounds less.
-Note the point where the car is when beeping. Now try to drive without
errors, or stop and make adjustments on the car, tyre changes, etc, so that
the point where the car is just when beeping advances.
-If you run "faster" than the timer, decrease the beep time.

Now, it could happen that you don't find such a timer, or you don't hear it,
or it is not appropiate. At the home page of AutoWebadas you can download an
equivalent program (METRON100.ZIP, together with a lap counting program
KACOS086.ZIP) which you can place on a laptop PC, better if it has sound. It
is in spanish, but it is very simple: it simply has an up-down control for
adjusting the beep time in tenths of second, and a button for disabling
sound. Use this post as the english documentation and enjoy.

AutoWebadas has an introducing page in english, but this trick doesn't
appear there.

Better yet... get yourself a good radio, they got this timer function
built-in (example: Aitronics M8).
