Need some advice, I want to fit one to our race car. Want one that records max speed, and if possible turns of the wheel?

Most will record v.max and all work out your speed by counting wheel revolutions and comparing with time taken.

Don't know of one off-hand that will actually display number of wheel revolutions, although you can work back to it by distance travelled (that is displayed) / wheel circumference.

It is possible to get one that measures the speed of the pedals, i'm sure you could use that.

True - you could hook up the cadence sensor to a wheel to record wheel RPM. Still wouldn't give you total wheel revolutions directly though; that would be easier from the distance recorded.

none of them record number of revolutions of wheel.
interestingly I do 158635 revolutions of wheel each way when commuting......
