Simon, what exactly does that do, just lap times? Who is fitting it for you?
I bought my Atom 18 months ago, only done 2 Track days.

In Atom 4, it has a AIM msxl dash but it's more than just a dash it's also a datalogger and there are a ton of sensors and data it captures as it connects to the ECU. One additional module you can add to it is the GPS08 module - doing this gives you your lap times, sector times, braking zones, lateral forces etc etc. If you are a data geek you will have a lot of fun with this. The GPS08 uses the tracks stored in the dash, these can be updated based on new track layouts but in mine there are hundreds of tracks also. Ariel pre-load them, but you are able to update, delete them.
Then you can use AIM's software called Race Studio 3 to download and analyse your laptimes to see where you were slow, faster. The AIM stock dash Ariel created has a screen that shows whether you were faster/slower than the previous lap - it's nice right there in the dash. You only see this when the GPS module is connected.
I have my own GPS08 module but it needs to connect to the EXT+ and EXT- pins of the dash using a CAN connection. I could not see this exposed in the wiring loom so as my car is going back this week for it's service, I will ask Ariel to help rather than me pull it apart.
Race Technology has something similar it's just an additional box for their DASH2 and less sophisticated. Called DL1:

I am familiar with AIM because this is used in Radicals and Ultimas.
