I have been using for a while a report utility, that
gives split times (only after exiting from GPL :<),
maintains the track of best split times, dream laps
(combination of best splits) and gives you quick
representation on your progress during the lap.
Split sectors are configurable. I find it most useful
when experimenting with setups and trying different
techniques in particular corners. Then I immediately see
if I have achieved anything good. After I can analyze
replays of interesting laps using other tools. The main
benefit is that this report can be configured to appear
right after exiting GPL without pressing or clicking
anything, so I can spend more time driving instead of
looking at the laps where nothing interesting happened.
If there will be enough interest in this tool I will try
to put some efforts to bring it to releasable state :>
