lap timer

Race segment measurer

A lap timer is a device or application that measures the time taken to complete each lap of a race or circuit.

Used in motorsports, swimming, and track events, it records split times so athletes and drivers can analyze performance: The lap timer showed he'd shaved two seconds off his best time.

Many modern lap timers use GPS to detect when a vehicle crosses the start/finish line.
