The Aim MyChron 6 GPS Lap Timer is a high-performance piece of karting equipment that offers extremely advanced data logging capabilities. Along with heart rate, braking points, racing lines and more, it ensures that every second you're racing is monitored and recorded.
The MyChron 6 Lap Timer has delta times shown, letting you compare your current lap with others to see exactly where you are gaining or losing seconds in real time. The GPS module is also extremely accurate to 25Hz, allowing for advanced tracking capabilities and data collection.
Ultimately, lap timing and data collection are upgraded massively with the MyChron 6 Lap Timer, with multiple karting parameters being monitored and recorded for performance analysis.

How does the MyChron 6 Lap Timer work?+
The Aim MyChron 6 GPS Lap Timer relies on satellite positioning, electromagnetic induction and thermal sensors to convert track data into readable information. Before you even start driving, the MyChron 6 connects to satellites and recognises the track using the automatic track recognition technology.
Once you start driving, your chosen configuration will be displayed on the screen. For example, you could see your lap number and the delta lap feature. This is where it specifically shows you where you have lost and gained seconds in your lap, helping you improve your karting performance.
Post-session, you will immediately gain insights from your data as soon as the engine is turned off to review your performance, including your best lap, lap consistency and the highest temperature your engine hit during your drive.

The MyChron 6 can be used with our free Race Studio 3 software for comprehensive data analysis and data management post-session to identify areas of improvement to remain competitive. Race Studio also allows you to configure and customise LED light arrays, sensor inputs, update firmware and more.
Does the MyChron 6 Lap Timer work with other Aim products?+
Aim MyChron 6 Lap Timers are designed to work seamlessly with various other Aim products, acting as a central hub for data acquisition & lap timings in most karting setups. It features an expansion port (via CAN connection) that allows for easy integration of sensors (CHT, EGT and water temperature sensors) and systems such as the ACC3, SmartyCam Sport and Data Hubs to enhance performance monitoring. Please see the "Connections" tab for more examples.
What are the differences between the MyChron 6 and the MyChron 6 2T?+
Although the MyChron 6 and the MyChron 6 2T are high-performing, accurate lap timers, the only difference is that the MyChron 6 2T has an additional temperature sensor to allow multiple temperatures to be monitored and measured simultaneously.
