When i finish the first lap i ACTUALLY finish the first lap. By the way, after other laps, i see the list of precedent laps except the first (2,3,4,...). Did you ever tried to save the first RACE lap? Thanks
This is obviously very important to you as you have posted it three times. Therefore, please bear with me when I tell you that you CANNOT save your 'first' lap. You CANNOT. You CAN, however, save the first 'flying lap'.

You cannot save the first lap, in *any* session, whether its practice, quick race, champ or a non-champ race. This is because you have not completed one *whole* lap until you pass the finish line for the *second* time. Example: 1) Start race, pass start line (*not* necessarily the same as the finish line) the data logger also starts. 2) pass finish line (which is usually *before* the start line) so although you have passed the finish line for the first time on your first lap you have not yet completed a *full* lap. 3) When you pass the finish line for the second time which is on your second lap, you can save a lap cos the data logger now has enough info (eg:- at least one whole lap) to carry out a save. I hope I explained that ok? 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
