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.

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.
