Where am I losing time? That is the only question that matters between runs, and the IRA gives you the answer before you have put your helmet down. You can import your session, and the analysis will be ready: each corner of each lap will be examined, compared with your personal best, and ranked by the time still contained in it. Using real telemetry, the information is presented quickly—giving you a concise list of areas to focus on, not a multitude of graphs to interpret. IRA — Intelligent Racing Analytics. Designed for karting drivers, circuit racers, coaches, and racing families. CORNER BY CORNER Select the laps that the answer includes and then go down the list in order, watching each corner illuminate on the track outline as you do so.

Made for rental karting, arrive-and-drive events, and track days. LAP REPLAY Simulate a lap based on the track's actual shape.

Charts for speed, RPM, water temperature, and EGT with minimum and maximum. Compare any two laps with delta overlay. FOR COACHES AND RACE ENGINEERS A side-by-side comparison of laps with synchronized telemetry data, covering braking points, throttle timing, corner exit speeds, and differences in racing line. Sessions can be shared between the driver and the coach using secure cloud synchronization. FOR RACING FAMILIES With Family Follow, a parent or coach can follow the driver's sessions and read the same analysis the driver does. TRACK MAP The GPS display shows a speed heatmap and includes satellite and standard views, together with sector markers and beacon positions. You can zoom in, pan, and rotate the image, and playback is synchronized with the telemetry. 4,995+ TRACKS Available in 111 countries at circuit locations through automatic GPS-based track detection, with live weather and forecast information together with recommendations regarding the tires. PIT NOTES The chassis, the tires, the gearing, and the jetting—the changes you made and their effects—remain associated with the session to which they belong. TEAM INVENTORY The team's possessions, which karts the parts are fitted to, and what is worn out — all of this is recorded on the phone in the pit lane.
