Why not ring Mike Broadbent (manager @ Racelogic) and ask him? (Assuming that he's still there......it's been a while now) He was really helpful when I spoke to him- admittedly that was about four years ago :rofl:

haha, he's probably left because no-one can work out the "download a circuit" instructions so they keep ringing him

From what I can gather from the Racelogic site, the current PC software (Circuit Tools?) will take the raw GPS data from the card and work out what track you're on from the database, and set the start/finish line automatically. Snett 300 is on the list of circuits according to their site.

If it's not on their list, then you have to teach it the circuit manually.

How did you get on? I tried to follow the instructions Danny pointed me too before Snett, but when i got there i couldn't seem to get the box to pull up the data. Have to say i've never really got to grips with my Race Box, although I haven't tried particularly hard

I spoke to Racelogic technical department, below is pasted how to do it.
Following our phone conversation I include the link below to download the full CIR and DSF files circuit database.
Note that for the performance box, you only need to load the DSF file(s). The CIR files are available here in case customers wish to load them into Performance Tools software.

http://performancebox.co.uk/Download/CI ... _Files.zip

To load a single DSF file, the file must be re-named to 'DBOX.DSF' and be placed within the DATA folder on the SD card.

To load multiple DSF files, a folder named 'DSF' must be created on the root of the SD card (not in DATA folder) and DSF files placed within the folder. The files must not be called DBOX.DSF - any other name is fine.

Once the files are named and located as mentioned above, the SD card should be loaded into the Performance Box, and then the MENU button should be pressed when in Lap Timing mode. You should then select Starts and Splits > Load.
