The ROUSH LapTimer application, co-developed with the creator of Harry's LapTimer, let’s you push your vehicle to the limit while recording everything for later playback and evaluation. This high-precision tool will improve your driving ability by letting you see where you can go faster on any track. ROUSH’s LapTimer generates beautiful in-car video recordings with an overlay of vehicle data, ready to be presented on YouTube or other social media sites. Even without video, recorded data from your track day can be analyzed using pre-set views, making it easy to analyze and improve your driving performance. In case heart rates were recorded using Heath Kit, this data can be overlaid to recordings too. Using the ROUSH lap timer, you can change vehicle settings and accurately measure performance impact on your track times.

SEE WHERE YOUR LAP TIME GOES Created by a professional racing driver and instructor, G-Box turns the iPhone you already own into a track-day lap timer and telemetry tool. Start free with iPhone GPS Standard. Unlock G-Box Pro for 25 Hz Fusion and advanced lap analysis. 25 HZ FUSION. JUST YOUR IPHONE. G-Box Pro combines the iPhone's built-in GPS and motion sensors (IMU) to calculate your driving line at 25 Hz. No external GPS receiver is required for Fusion. Review a smoother estimated trajectory between GPS fixes, then compare braking zones, corner speed and acceleration on exit. These are calculated position updates, not 25 Hz satellite measurements. Results depend on GPS reception, phone mounting and sensor calibration. TIME EVERY LAP • Automatic lap timing with current, previous and best lap • Live delta, sectors and predicted lap time • Create or load tracks and organize your sessions • Metric and imperial units FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO LAPS Compare speed, lateral and longitudinal G, available RPM and lap delta on synchronized maps and graphs. Inspect braking, turn-in, apex and exit speed. Explore the Friction Circle and a theoretical best lap assembled from your strongest sectors. BRING YOUR EXISTING DATA Import supported telemetry from RaceChrono, Harry's LapTimer, VBOX, Race Navigator, MoTeC and AiM. Connect compatible external GPS receivers, including supported G-Box, RaceBox and selected Dragy models. Add speed and RPM from compatible OBD hardware. Available channels depend on your equipment and source files. PUT VIDEO AND DATA TOGETHER Record with iPhone cameras or connect a compatible GoPro. Synchronize video with telemetry, compare laps during playback, and export overlays with lap time, speed, G-forces, map and available RPM. Replay sessions on 2D and 3D maps. PLAN YOUR NEXT STINT Review local corner-by-corner analysis of braking and corner exit. Optional AI analysis offers another perspective on your telemetry. Export your calculated Fusion route and supported telemetry formats, including GBO, CSV, VBO, GPX, KML and NMEA. Start now with the included Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG demo lap (8:06), or bring your previous sessions.
