What is involved in the art of setting up track segments? What is the optimum number of segments? What is the best place for a beacon: in the middle of a short straight between corners? At the entrance or exit of a corner? Do most tracks have "official" segments that we could apply, even if only approximately?

I've driven on eight or nine tracks with my MQ125, and I usually just set a single beacon to get simple lap times. But I would like to use segments to improve my times through various sections. I just don't know how best to do it.

Any hints?

I would love to hear opinions on this also. Will be using the gear for the first time this weekend and sections will be very usefull on a 3.6mile track.

I'll provide my points for all after the event btw, more should share up here I think

(Autobahn Full course to be posted next week)

There are some track beacon files here if that helps: http://www.maxqdata.com/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.TrackBeaconFiles

If your track is missing from the list, be sure to add your own beacon file.

As for where to set them? Try talking with local racers or timing & scoring and ask where they typically divide the track into sectors / segments.
