Yes it’s highly sus @tjkoyen and @fatboy1dh
That’s what I was implying without saying it exactly on the off chance that I am not actually an A+ driver 
Let’s give it another chance…
To be continued next race!
Also, the internal clock in premiere is effing useless in that it measures hours:min:sec:frames.
Note the complete lack of .XXX
What I was referring to was having it write a script in whatever language is supported by Premiere to take some data file and convert it to your timing widgets at the appropriate place on the timeline.
For .xxx (milliseconds) it’s just frame/frameRate. It couldn’t natively support ms because you’re not shooting 1000fps. But that’s where the script should automatically be able to handle premiere’s object model.
In DaVinci, my timer looks something like
os.date("%M:%S",(time)/comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate")).."."..string.format("%03d",(time)%comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate")*1000/comp:GetPrefs("Comp.FrameFormat.Rate"))
Ah so rate /
So 3rd frame of 30 fps =.1s?

So use Ai to write a script? I sadly have never done that, (scripts)
I am assuming a script is a command like what you posted. However how does one use that script in the editor?
this is a method one must learn, and there’s syntax correct? But the idea is to tell ai write me a script that converts the time data to hrs/min/s/ 10ths etc
Actually never mind because an answer will likely involve you having to explain this which is not a wise use of your time

Yep!
Yeah basically. Like you have a sheet of
Lap 1: 31.111
Lap 2: 22.222
…
And say your video starts in the pits, so lap one doesn’t start for a while. You’d manually advance to the start of lap one and add a marker.
Then have the script find that marker, and say the end of lap one (where you put your vertical scrolling time) is in the frame occurring 31.111s from that first marker. The end of lap 2 is in the frame occurring 22.222s from the end of lap one, and so on.
Pseudocode being like:
- get start time code
- loop over rows:
- add lap time to current time code
- add scrolling time widget
As far as how to actually run it in Premiere, not sure since I don’t have it, but this looks close to what I’d expect: https://youtube.com/shorts/HsvXSlHnKqM?is=AJh_W-6OaOEmipUb

Aha! Thanks! That seems achievable.
I am not sure you are going to get much value using the laptimes @Bimodal_Rocket But I have been getting good results with GPS points
How are you using the gps?
I use a dragy, with racechrono, and you can export gps traces to CSV

I meant what is the information you are examining with the gps?
Long/Lat, speed, height mostly.
