I'm using two maps for both fuel and spark that I can change at a flick of a switch. A standard feature on proper managements

I wouldn't bother.

Race fuel is sooo expensive, that for track days, it'd cost a small fortune!

For the benefit you'd get as a track day goer, I'd rather spend the money on something else to make it go round corners faster.

I have 6 various maps stored on my laptop. I just load in the one I need when I need it.

1 Road / 2 Competition / 1 Track / 1 Security / & 1 Development

All have back ups on CD too
