The AiM SOLO: feature packed, amazingly priced!
With a clear, easy to read display and very powerful Race Studio 2 analysis software, the SOLO is as powerful (or more so) than many full-dash data systems of just a few years ago...

-So, what is the AiM SOLO?:           
Solo is an automatic lap timer and data logging mini-computer that uses GPS technology.

-What is the AiM SOLO DL?:           
Solo DL is an automatic lap timer and data logging mini-computer that uses GPS technology as well as an Accelerometer. It has enhanced logging capabilities because it can connect to almost an 1996 or later car ECU to collect and log its data as well.

-What does it do for me?:           
Solo locates its GPS position, identifies the track from the internal list of the main world tracks and starts automatically sampling lap times! It records this and gives the driver feedback based on data it collects.

-What if the track is not in the database, or I want to create my own?:           
Circuits, hill climbs, regularity, point to point races, performance tests. Solo can fit all situations with a simple keyboard configuration. Track can be added by driving the circuit or using computer software.

-And, what else?:              
Speed, accelerations, braking... all the details you need while racing, a powerful data review immediately after and... no need for a track engineer, no complicated sensors no expensive wirings. This Mini computer is a great leap into becoming a better driver, and optimizing car-setup...

At the smoking price of just $399 this tool is so much more than a toy... its a must have for the driver who wants to improve, and do so consistently at budget anyone can afford.
We think that this is the best value in the data acquisition market period. For street and track enthusiasts, it even gives the 'Vbox' a good run for the money at this price point with its features.

The AiM SOLO is AiM's newest data component and specifically designed as the most cost-effective, feature rich data acquisition solution on the market.  When creating this product, the goal was to produce a capture and replay solution that every DE enthusiast, driving students, aspiring racers, or even the professional coach could use. All goals to capture this market are met: affordable, compact, easy to install, and easy to use.  We predict that this will become the new industry standard in affordable gear that the amature must-have.

More than just a lap timer, much more... The SOLO is a full data logger that not only shows the user how fast they are each lap, but also provides the quantitative measurements to show just how to improve your line, consistency, focus and other crucial driving skills that are much easier to improve with feedback from data logging. 

Some Specific features include:

• Easy Install - Using either the included screw/velcro-on mounting bracket or the optional window suction cup, the SOLO drops in your car in less than a minute.  The internal battery means no wires are required to get started - power cord and CAN cable use is optional.
• Laptime Display - SOLO displays driver's best lap, as well as either rolling lap time (running lap), static lap (last completed lap), or Predictive Lap.  Predictive Lap is the most valuable tool for improving your driving and gives instantaneous feedback as you are driving a lap on whether you are faster or slower than your best lap.  There is no other substitute for this immediate feedback.
• Data Analysis - SOLO records data to be downloaded and analyzed using AiM Race Studio 2 software, one of the easier to use and powerful data software tools on the market.  More than laptimes, use Race Studio 2 to show exactly where you can improve and pick up speed on the track.  If the Predictive Lap display is half of the value of a data system, powerful and user-friendly analysis software is the other half, and RS2 fits the description.
• Track Recognition - SOLO includes a list of the world’s main track GPS coordinates.  At power up, the internal GPS in the SOLO provides a location and loads the configuration for the track you are on.
• Performance Measures - SOLO can be used as a measuring tool for your car's performance - a great way to evaluate your most recent upgrade.  Industry standard tests include 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, and 0-60mph, including 60' times and trap speed.
• GPS Antenna - An internal GPS antenna in the SOLO provides precise location and track mapping capability and speed outputs.  Additionally, a start/finish line is set so you don't have a trackside beacon to lose or forget at the track.

Includes software, user manual, screw-on mounting bracket (suction window mount purchased separately), USB power adaptor and USB cable, 2m lighter socket power cable, AiM decal and AiM racing guide.  SOLO DL kits include either OBD II port or RS232 CAN wire-in cable

High-speed GPS, internal accelerometers, expansive data logging memory, USB download, a waterproof design, a thoughtful feature set, and a retail price of $399 make for best motorsports lap timer ever made. It's called Solo, and it's available now.

Predictive Lap Times- Arguably the best tool a driver can have for getting faster—predictive lap times. Chisel down those lap times and qualify better than you ever have before with the Solo's predictive lap timing. A constantly updating real-time display of your current lap pace. A time prediction resolved down to the hundredth of a second - and incredibly accurate. Optionally you can display a real-time +/- from your best lap time.

It's a Data Logger- The Solo records your lap times along with speed, track position, lateral g-forces, linear g-forces, yaw rate, heading, slope, satellite reception, and battery voltage. Each channel recorded at a frequency of 10-times per second (10 Hz). All tests are stored with a time and date stamp for on-screen review or PC download for further analysis. Download your Solo data to the included full version of RaceStudio2, our professional data analysis software.

Lap Data Review at Your Fingertips- Hit the Solo's memory button when your session is over and up pops your best three lap times, along with session data of duration and distance. Hit MEM again and you get a full list of your lap times along with max straight speed and minimum corner speed for each lap. A third data review page shows a histogram view of your lap times where you can identify patterns of driving or the tires coming in - or going away.

Data Analysis- Plot your Solo data over time or distance, xy plots, track position, create histograms and more. Overlay any number of laps from the same test of different tests. Correlate your data to track position.

Track Mapping & Driving Line Analysis- Every lap you drive is mapped with great precision, which not only allows you to correlate data to track position, but also overlay maps to analyze driving lines. Know exactly where you are gaining or losing time.

Split Times- One of the most useful tools for analyzing driver performance and consistency is to break up the track into several sections and analyze sector timing and standard deviation within a test session. The Solo puts that powerful tool one click away on your PC. The track is automatically split up into straights and corners and a table provided with sector times for each and every lap. It also strings together your "theoretical best" lap, combining all your best sectors.

Performance Tests- 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, and 0-60 MPH performance test modes are built in to every Solo. Queue the Solo up for a 1/4 mile pass and from a standing start mash the pedal and keep it straight for 1320 feet - on a closed circuit or where permissible by law of course. The Solo's smart looping memory records a few seconds of staging, the pass, and about three seconds of coast down. Immediately after the pass, the Solo display provides you with a time slip, complete with your 60' time, 330', 1/8th mile split and speed, 1000', and your 1/4 mile ET with speed at the finish line. A similar abbreviated time slip is displayed for 1/8th mile tests.
The venerable 0-60 MPH test benchmark is just as easy to run, and the on-screen review shows your 0-60 time, the distance traveled to achieve 60 MPH, along with the 0-20 and 0-40 MPH splits and respective distances.

No Beacon Needed- GPS lap timing means not having to place a beacon trackside for lap times. It also means there’s no beacon to forget. There’s twenty-four lap timing satellites orbiting the earth - always on, and no batteries to replace.

Big Bold Display- The Solo displays your lap times in numbers just under an inch in size, even aging eyes have no problem seeing them.

4 Hour Battery- The Solo's internal lithium-ion battery will keep the Solo running for about 4 hours with the backlight on. Otherwise, a 12V connection to vehicle power keeps it charged and running off the vehicles battery.

(*Note that the Solo is not NHRA or IHRA legal for event use. The Solo provides real-time track position in both time and feet - info that your not supposed to see and might get you in trouble at a NHRA or IHRA event, or ejected at the very least.) **Specific performance test views are being added to RaceStudio2 in the coming months.
