AI Race Engineer — Your personal AI race engineer Turn your smartphone into a real race engineer. Talk, listen, drive — like a driver on the pit wall. SUPPORTED GAMES F1 2020, F1 2021, F1 22, F1 23, F1 24, F1 25 and F1 26, plus Gran Turismo 7. PC COMPANION (WINDOWS) Run the Windows companion and the app at the same time: a full landscape dashboard on your PC screen, with your phone or tablet still live beside it. The companion reads the game telemetry and relays it to the app, so the game only ever needs one address — and there is no extra dashboard software to install. Assetto Corsa Competizione is supported in the companion only (beta), not on phone or tablet. TALK TO YOUR ENGINEER Ask "Tyre strategy?", "Leader's lap time?", "Where am I losing time?" — your engineer answers instantly. Say "RADIO", then ask out loud (internet recommended for the best voice experience). On supported titles, PRO users can map a controller or wheel button to the radio. CONNECTED TO YOUR GAMES IN REAL TIME Connect directly to leading racing simulators. The app auto-detects your game and reads live data: on full-grid titles — tyres, weather, standings, gaps and rival strategies; on single-car sims — your live car data (tyres, fuel, lap and corner data). On grid titles, enable telemetry in the game first. The richer the data, the deeper the coaching. FULL RACE COACHING Your engineer manages the race like a real strategist: pit timing, undercut, tyre wear, weather alerts, Safety Car, fuel, ERS, penalties — every call in real time. Proactive coaching works trackside, even offline. QUALIFYING DONE RIGHT The full qualifying cycle: gap on the outlap, total radio silence on the push lap, sector-by-sector debrief after each run, automatic re-push detection. CORNER-BY-CORNER ANALYSIS After a flying lap, your engineer tells you where you're losing time and in which phase — braking, apex or acceleration. Ask anytime, in qualifying, practice and time trial. AI-ASSISTED SETUP (PRO · Practice & Time Trial) Just drive. After a few clean laps: "We've got data — box now to adjust the setup." Choose Performance, Stability or Baseline, and optionally describe the car's feel by voice. The engineer studies your best lap and feedback to suggest setup changes for the track, conditions and your driving. Internet required.

### Pit Crew Hub — Your Ultimate Gran Turismo 7 Companion Transform your phone or tablet into a professional race engineer and high-performance digital cockpit display. Whether you’re chasing tenths on qualifying hot-laps, fighting for podiums in Daily Races, or surviving tire-wear stints in manufacturer endurance cups, Pit Crew Hub gives you the real-time telemetry edge to out-brake, out-pace, and out-smart the competition in Gran Turismo 7. #### Find Lap Time Where It Counts Stop guessing where you’re losing time. Real-time trajectory delta tracking shows you down to hundredths of a second whether that wider corner entry or early throttle pick-up actually gained you pace. Compare your throttle, braking, and coasting traces side-by-side with your best stint or reigning World #1 benchmark laps to spot earlier braking points and missed apexes instantly. #### Master Vehicle Dynamics & Tire Life Feel what your car is doing before it slides. * **Cockpit-Matched Tire Thermals**: Intuitive front and rear temperature monitoring positioned right in your peripheral vision lets you manage tire degradation and prevent blistering on long stints. * **G-Force Friction Circle**: Stabilized cornering load dynamics and a 3-second weight-transfer trail help you master trail braking deep into the corner and maximize mechanical grip on exit. #### Level Up Your Driver Rating (DR) Climb the GT Sport Mode ladder with complete visibility into your rating: * **Live Cockpit DR Tracking**: See your current rating points, 24-hour gains, and the exact score needed to unlock your next license promotion (from B to A, or A to A+). * **Progression Curves**: Graph your climb over 7-day, 30-day, and all-time stints to see how vehicle choices and practice routines impact your rank. #### Built for Wheel Rigs & Cockpit Mounts Mount your device directly to your wheel base or sim rig. Switch on **"Unc Mode"** for ultra-large, high-contrast gear, speed, delta, and tire numbers that you can absorb with a split-second micro-glance without taking your eyes off your braking markers. #### 100% Zero-Fuss Plug & Play No cables, no complex PC setups, no calibration headaches. Just boot up Pit Crew Hub on your home Wi-Fi while GT7 is running on your PS4 or PS5—the app detects your car and starts streaming telemetry instantly. Strap in, hit your marks, and find your fastest lap yet!
