APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach

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 track day driver, autocrosser, or racer, that is a valuable skill to have. It is a Grip Gauge that shows you where extra grip is being left on the table.

A 9-axis inertial measurement unit coupled with a 10 hertz GPS and machine learning software creates an extremely powerful device that uses your driving to model the tires' limits. No baseline data is required. The APEX Pro team poured hundreds of hours of testing into the software so that it can accurately model vehicles of all types, with drivers of varying skill levels, as they drive.

The APEX App controls the device and runs on any Apple device using iOS 11 or newer software. It allows for powerful and intuitive analysis, data sharing, Crew View Streaming, and an awesome community of users.

If you are looking to drive faster, visualize the available grip, and win races, APEX Pro is for you!

More Details About the APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach

The APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach is fundamentally an artificial intelligence vehicle simulation algorithm, providing real-time feedback to the driver. Over the course of a track session, APEX learns the performance limits of your vehicle and models its optimal performance at each individual point on the track. To make the model easy to interpret, APEX displays your current performance as a fraction of your potential performance.

APEX uses inertial (IMU) measurements and GPS to model your driving ability, your car, and the track you are on in real time. As APEX learns, it will predict your theoretical performance instantaneously. To make the complex model easy to interpret, we reduce it to a single score that is shown on the DDC as a red bar extending from left to right. Because different situations require different levels of driving effort, the peak changes as you encounter different situations; for instance, most vehicles can brake harder than accelerate so the displayed peak is higher for braking.

APEX not only gives you real-time feedback on where you are losing time; it also lets you review each lap later, to evaluate both your lap times and APEX Score. There is also a neat tool called "Crew View", which allows your crew (or fans) to get live updates on your lap-times while you are on the track. If your driver pal has an APEX unit, you can track their times and performance as well.
