Kerbz is the social platform for car enthusiasts. Whether your weekends are cars & coffee, a club meet, a show, a canyon drive or a track day, it's one place for all of it — the events, the cars, the people and the parts. YOUR GARAGE Add your cars once. Kerbz uses them everywhere: to find the events, the discussions and the parts that fit what you drive. THE PADDOCK Talk with people who own the same car. Builds and setups, where to meet, which track, what tires — organized by car and generation, so an answer comes from someone driving the same thing you are. THE MARKET Parts, wheels, tires, seats and gear, sold driver to driver. Every listing says what it fits, and every seller is a real driver you can look up — their cars, their events, their past deals. Meet at the next event to hand it over. EVENTS Discover and register for cars & coffee, car shows, club meets, track days, HPDE and autocross in a few taps. Add friends and see who's going. Group registration for your club or team. Your calendar keeps it all straight. ON TRACK Live timing during the event, lap records and personal bests afterwards, leaderboards by track and car. Share a lap and compare it against a friend's. RENTALS Book a track-ready car from a trusted host when you don't want to bring your own.

PB Buddy is a lap timer app for HPDE and time trials. It offers an easy-to-use, minimalist interface that allows you to focus on what matters most. The user experience has been crafted to work well for drivers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned racers. The app has been tested at numerous Time Trials and helped set over a dozen class records across the US. Key features: 1. Easy to set up. The app walks you through the setup and explains how to use it. You don’t need to be an IT professional just to see your lap times. 2. Easy to use. Once the initial setup is complete, simply open the app, press the button to start recording, confirm the track, and you're ready to go! 3. Quickly get feedback on your current lap. Thanks to big, bright visual elements and fun, vibrant colors, you can easily see if you’re on a good lap or lost too much time to set a new personal best (PB). Forget counting the number of tiny LEDs! 4. Fast and targeted feedback. It’s too late to review data in the paddock if you only have one session in the morning when the conditions are best! With PB Buddy, you get instant feedback for each sector of the track (or even per corner!), so you can turn even a bad lap into an opportunity to try something new in that tricky corner you’re struggling with, and find another tenth of a second for your next hot lap. 5. YOU own your data. Export data for each session in CSV format compatible with many existing third-party apps, or export every byte recorded by the app in a developer-friendly format if you enjoy tinkering with data. 6. Supports most race tracks in the US, with more tracks and configurations coming soon. 7. Supports the built-in GPS receiver, but works best with third-party Bluetooth-enabled GPS devices.
