APEX provides real-time feedback via LED's while in car and extensive information on the app post driving session. Who is APEX Pro for? APEX helps drivers learn to drive the car at the limit of the tire's grip. Whether you are a racer, track day driver, or autocrosser, that is a valuable skill to have. It is a Grip Gauge that shows you where extra grip is being left on the table. APEX Pro customers participate in all types of four wheeled motorsports: Road Racing, Autocross, Rally, Track Days/ HPDE, Time Attack. What does APEX offer with the APEX Pro Hardware? 10 x GPS accuracy and frequency of the smartphone GPS, APEX’s proprietary machine learning model (APEX Score) for real-time, in-car analysis, MPH/KPH selection, Crew View: Access Live Feed posting of User Records, Ability to post laps to “Top Ten” record board, Extensive post-session analysis, Overlay APEX Score, Speed, Lat G, Long G, OBDII channels (with OBDII hardware), Yaw Rate on GPS image, histogram plots, X,Y chart, and Scatterplot, Lap Replay, Interactive Speedometer, Light Bar replay, AirDrop Data sharing, Overlay laps from different days or sessions at the same track.

Toggle “Enable Phone GPS Logging” to use the app with no APEX Pro Hardware. What does the App offer with 'Lap Timer Plus' subscription? After your first lap on track, the timer can be used to show your predicted lap time or the delta between your current lap and your best so far. This allows competitive drivers to quickly identify the effect of changes in the driving line or the effect of traffic. For review, the track can be split into sectors and a theoretical best lap calculated to set goals for your next session. Video can be recorded during a driving session and then rendered with data overlays after the session.
