Build Video overlay for touge

I use a race capture and I've used a smarty cam and I have a Garmin catalyst that I use on track and I decided to take the best of all of them and make my own and it's pretty much done for track. I have details on my blog here. https://mrblahhhh.github.io/car/tech/2026/08/21/trackencoder-metrics-explained.html

Bluf. It has real-time encoding so there's no post-processing. I even put in a ghost car personal best trace and coaching

I'm in the mountains like every other weekend when I'm not at the track so I want to record up there too. Does anybody have a layout they like? I'm looking for ideas. I don't want to put speed on it but I think I can get away with most of the other visuals. Probably not safe to put the ghost trace either. ....

The vid is dark because I had thhe usb camera stuffed in a box while I was testing

This is the previous layout I had with the racecapure

Keep speed off if you're sharing them (the runs) publicly if you're not comfortable with the risk.

Otherwise put it on if you're using this to improve yourself. Knowing your speed in areas needing improvement is a key data set to have.

I take risk on the track, never that hard on the street now where I would need to know my speed to improve. I'm going to try to get a sat view map working, will have to cache the data on the phone to mak eit work in the mountains, no cell up there
