Data Logging & Video Systems for Motorsport NZ
Data Logging & Video Systems for Motorsport — New Zealand
Choose the data system for the question you want to answer. A lap time tells you what happened; video and vehicle data can help show why. Harris Race Radios™ is the Official AiM dealer in New Zealand and stocks and supplies genuine Racelogic VBOX products to NZ and AU customers. We help teams compare systems for karting, circuit racing, rally and track-day coaching without treating every logger as the same installation.

AiM: Build Around the Car or Kart
AiM provides kart loggers, race-car displays, GPS timing, sensors and compatible camera options. Harris Race Radios™ is the Official AiM dealer in New Zealand. For karting, start with the relevant MyChron options; for a car, decide whether you need a dash, logger, PDM, compatible sensors or video. The channels you can record depend on the exact vehicle and system.

Racelogic VBOX: GPS Data and Video
VBOX is a useful route for GPS lap review and compatible onboard video. The VBOX Video HD2 Track Package offers camera, OLED predictive-display and CAN-splitter configuration choices. Select those by what the driver needs to see and what data the car can provide; do not assume all vehicle channels or accessories come with every package.

AiM vs VBOX: A Practical Comparison
| Question | AiM route | VBOX route |
|---|---|---|
| Do you need a race dash? | Choose a compatible AiM dash model | Check separate display options for the selected VBOX system |
| Do you need vehicle channels? | Match ECU, CAN and sensors to the exact AiM device | Check the selected VBOX package and supported input connection |
| Is coaching video the first priority? | Check SmartyCam and compatible AiM data source | Compare HD2 camera and display choices |
| Do you already own an AiM dash? | Review existing channels and configuration | Check whether a compatible HD2-to-AiM connection suits the setup |
Neither range is one universal plug-and-play answer. Many teams combine timing, video and deeper vehicle data; start with the exact car, existing electronics and the decisions you want to make between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a motorsport data logger?
It records selected performance information for analysis after a session. GPS timing, camera footage and vehicle channels are available in different combinations depending on the exact model and installation.
Which should I choose for a kart?
Start with the AiM MyChron range and check the kart, intended sensors and data you need for driver and setup analysis.
Which is better for video coaching?
Compare a compatible AiM SmartyCam setup against the VBOX Video HD2 package. The answer depends on your existing data system, desired camera views and channels.
Can VBOX use data from an AiM dash?
Potentially, with a compatible connection and configuration. Check the exact AiM device, VBOX model, cable and supported channels before ordering.
