This book covers all the key areas of datalogging from buying a computer to analysing the data. The author does not stick to any one particular brand of hardware, as the principles are transferable to most of the current breeds of logging equipment. Overall this is good book with some very good examples and insights from people who are using datalogging in a race environment.

In brief, it's a good well written book but definitely caters for the complete beginner. I was hoping to gain a greater insight into a subject I had a good basic understanding of and didn't find much able to expand my horizons - should've gone for something a little more advanced!

You've got the hardware and the software but what does it all mean ?
This book takes you through the basics of analysing your logged data - even a few simple measurements can yield a surprising amount of information which can result in increase performance on track. It includes lots of real world examples using real data also you won't find complex math here.
The book also makes a brief exploration into the kit professional teams are using for data logging and analysing.
Its also the only book I have found on the subject, which kinda makes me think that the analysis of such data is an art and involves hard won knowledge.
