| Rally Trip Computer (temporarily disabled) |
This Microsoft Excel workbook can be called the "Poor Man's Rally Trip Computer." It produces a printable chart that recommends traveling speeds (in MPH or KPH) for supplied waypoints (distance markers) in a road rally or open road race, where the goal is to achieve a predetermined average speed (typically, from an elected "speed class") over the length of the course. If you don't have a mega-buck trip computer, this is your navigator's next best tool. Created by Dave at HappyLanes.com. |
