Just did a search one. Couldn't find one on there :(

Just messaged the guy on p-wrx, apparently it's sold pending payment. Cheers anyway

Got an android phone? Download trackmaster, $10 and works mint

[ChrisGTR]

iPhone Simon. Do you know if the app works as good on an iPhone?

[mr_mike]

there is a few, Diablo Superbiker is a bike specific one but is one of the best free ones available, Dynolicious(sp) is supposed to be another good one, and people who have put the app against actual 1/4 mile runs and the app comes up very close.
Another one is Trackday, have it on my phone but never used it. Seems to have a fair bit of info on it.

I use Harry's lap timer pro on my iPhone 4 in a tomtom cradle (for the faster external gps)
Works well at barbagallo. http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html

I like the idea of the external gps on the phone. Is this what you have:

Where did you get it from and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

[tinto]

That's the one. Bought it directly from Apple but it looks like it has been discontinued.
You may be able to grab one second hand. I have $99 in my head for some reason.
It is still a relatively slow gps @ 1hz, but compatible with the harry's app quick reception and the bonus of a phone charger and hands free kit.

I've found it very close to the official timing at barbagallo, so useful for development on tuning days.

Have ordered a tomtom gps thing for my iPhone off eBay. Have also downloaded Henry's lap timer app. All up it cost me $110 so I'm pretty happy with that. Hopefully it can give me some fairly accurate lap times but if not at least I got an iPhone windscreen suction cup and an in car charger out of it lol.
Thanks for the help.

If you have an iphone4, you'll need a little pad on the tomtom cradle's button to make sure it turns on when you slot a (slimmer than a 3) iPhone 4 in. You'll see what I mean when it arrives. I used a little black square (the soft part) of some stick on Velcro and it works as it should.

I have found even a 1hz on a phone sitting it the centre console of the car is reasonably accurate... Like within 1 tenth per lap time at Barbs.

When I get around to it I'm going to grab a 5hz external bluetooth one and I imagine that will be more than enough for our needs (not full race car spec)

For under $100 you can't really go wrong
