QUAD-G ForceMeter Laptimer

A GPS lap timer that works anywhere on Earth, and an integrated vehicle-dynamics G-force meter.

Using nothing but your phone's sensors and GPS, it times laps and sectors while showing four-wheel weight transfer, G-forces and chassis attitude in real time. No extra sensors.

■ GPS lap timer
Circuits, of course — but you can set a course anywhere in the world. Long-press the map to place start, finish and sector lines, and every crossing splits a lap and a sector automatically. Best lap, last lap and every sector time stay on the main screen, so you can see where you are finding time while you drive.

Closed circuits and open point-to-point courses are both supported, so rally and hill-climb stages work too. Save as many courses as you like, set which direction counts as a crossing, and add as many sectors as you need. With no course set, the LAP button still times from where you stand.

■ One integrated meter
Four-wheel load, the G-G diagram, yaw rate and roll/pitch on a single screen, right alongside the lap display. Everything you need while driving, in one place.

■ Four-wheel load monitoring
Weight transfer is computed from G-forces and your vehicle specs, then shown at each corner as colour and numbers, so you can see whether you are using all of the tyre. Load falling shifts blue, load building shifts red. Delta/absolute and %/kgf are both switchable.

■ G-G diagram
Lateral against longitudinal G, with the trail you actually drove and the envelope of the limit you reached. The envelope is where your car's grip runs out, drawn for you.

■ Understeer and oversteer alerts
Measured yaw rate is compared against the theoretical neutral-steer reference to catch sharp yaw-rate changes in the transient, and the app calls them out by voice and colour. The axle that is losing cornering force is boxed, so you can tell instantly which end is going. Tune it with a scene (circuit / winding road) × sensitivity profile.

■ Data logger and viewer
Record a session and review times, racing line and vehicle data afterwards. A track map coloured by speed, time-series charts of G, yaw rate and attitude, and the G-G diagram all follow one playhead. Understeer and oversteer segments are marked on the charts. Export to CSV to analyse the data in external tools.

■ Customisation
Theme (dark / light) and accent colour, which channels appear in the readout column, the range of each meter, load display units, render rate and more.

■ Three steps to start
1. Enter your vehicle info (weight, CG height, wheelbase, track, weight distribution). It works on the defaults, but the more accurate you are, the closer the load readout gets to your real car.
2. Mount the phone rigidly, screen upright.
3. Run calibration once before you drive.

No sensors handy? Settings has a "Play demo" mode that replays real recorded track data through every feature.
