Read full description

TrackMate is your personal track day companion — live, in the car, every lap. Most lap timer apps tell you what happened after you leave the track. TrackMate tells you during the session, between laps, through your car speakers or earphones — so you can actually improve while you're still on circuit. After each lap, your TrackMate delivers spoken radio-style feedback anchored in your telemetry: where you lost time, which corners cost you, and how this lap compares to your best. No opinions. No guesswork. Just your data, spoken clearly. What's included: — Real-time spoken lap feedback, delivered between laps after each sector — Live telemetry: speed, g-force, lap and sector times, deltas — Smart lap detection: automatic start/finish and sector splits — Track library: popular circuits worldwide, plus custom layouts — Garage: car profiles and setup notes — Session comparisons and best lap overlays — Fully offline recording — no signal required on track — Privacy-first: you own your data, delete anytime Built for closed-circuit track days. Not for public roads.
