the best speed is reported. 

The all-time best lap and ideal time for the current circuit are shown in the lower part of the screen. 

ATTENTION: 

If  the  position  of  the  split  times  on  the  map  is  changed,  the  previously  stored  lap 

times still remain referred to the old position.

 

ATTENTION: 

The best and ideal lap displayed in the lower part of the screen refers to the selected 

circuit  and  not  only  to  the  shown  times.  As  will  be  discussed  in  the  section  that  describes  the 
cancellation, it is possible to delete lap times leaving the best and ideal lap stored, or vice versa. In 
both cases, it would be reasonable to have no more correspondence between the all-time best lap 
and the best lap in the list.

 

4. Delete lap times 

   

   

   

   

   

      

The  “Delete” menu allows to select which information has to be deleted. Indeed, it is possible to 
delete only the best time relative to the selected circuit, or the list of times, the ideal time or all the 
times  stored  in  the  memory.  Keep  the  DN  button  pressed  to  select  an  option,  then  follow  the 
instructions on the screen to confirm the cancellation. 

5. Choice of the circuit 

The “Circuits” menu shows the list of the circuits 
stored  inside  Chrome.  Chrome  is  able  to  store 
up to 20 different circuits. For each one the best 
lap,  the  number  of  stored  laps  and  the  higher 
speed are collected in a table.  

Thanks  to  the  automatic  identification  of  the 
circuit, Chrome recognizes the circuit where it is 
located.  Using  this  menu  it  is  also  possible  to 
choose a different circuit. Press the UP and DN 
buttons  to  scroll  through  the  circuits,  keep  the 

DN button pressed to select the circuit, keep the UP button pressed to return to the previous menu. 

6. Circuit detail 

In  the  “Circuit  detail”  menu  the  information  about  the  loaded  circuit  is  reported.  In  this  menu  the 
number of stored laps, best and ideal lap times and highest speed are shown.
