What is Lap-Time? Well, put simply it’s the latest in real-life racing experiences.

Developed by Scott Vandonkelaar, it will change the way you play racing games. No longer will you be restricted to a mere TV screen or shock feed back steering wheels, Lap-Time gives you the real deal. Live, set out tracks in your local areas for you to race in real life. It's your car, with you at the wheel and Lap-Time guiding you via computer based GPS.

Lap-Time is a Centrafuse plug in that, together with a GPS unit, tracks where you are, your speed and other bits of information so that it can track you along a pre-defined racing track. These tracks are available here for download, or you can make them yourself by using the plug in. Either way, the result is three separate race modes (Circuit, Rally and Sprint) that you can race in real life, along the roads and corners that you love. While you are racing, Lap-Time records your lap time, highest speed and other details in order to give you an overall review as well as a race time. If yours is the best race time for that track, your name will appear on this records page letting others know what they have to beat. Tracks also get rated by all users so that you can know exactly what the best ones are and where to go to get the best tracks.

Race on your own trying to beat your best time on the same track, or go online, report your GPS location and let Lap-Time guide you to the nearest race track of your choice. You can also organise to race the same track with other users that have reported in near to your position. Download this highly interactive, free piece of software that integrates seamlessly into Flux Media's Centrafuse software for quick, fun use with all your friends.
