Pirelli’s Track Adrenaline system can make you a better driver on the track

Track Adrenaline, a system from Pirelli, gives track day enthusiasts and driving schools a way analyse their driving style. At the same time, they can also learn how to best to manage tyres as sensors assess the conditions of the tyres such as pressure and temperature.

Track Adrenaline includes a high-precision GPS and an App which – thanks to ‘replay’ and ‘analysis’ functions – suggests how to improve performance on the track and get the best out of the tyres. In addition, a LIVE VIEW function is available for the passenger, if present.

The system comprises three main elements: a small portable central control unit which can be easily installed inside the vehicle; the Track Adrenaline App which can be downloaded for free onto compatible iPhones; and the P Zero Trofeo R tyres, already available in 7 sizes with the sensors installed in the internal lining of the carcass.

Constant monitoring of tyre conditions
Before starting a drive, Track Adrenaline provides an overview of the condition of the tyres in a practical and rapid manner and, thanks to the digital manometer, configure the ideal set-up. During the drive, Track Adrenaline saves the information about the condition of the tyres and, at the same time, combines the data received from them with the telemetric information captured by the control unit.

This GPS module guarantees precision in the tracking and definition of trajectories as well as time measurements. Furthermore, the system’s database includes the principal race circuits so that the GPS can identify the track which is about to be tackled, including the position of the finishing line and of the split points.

The control unit, linked via wi-fi to the App, offers the experience of an extremely high-performance timer with telemetric data and real-time analysis of the session on the track. This includes the lap time, intermediate timings, expected time difference and the lap producing the best recorded time.

Real-time guidance
On those occasions in which the driver is accompanied by a passenger, the LIVE VIEW function can also be used. Short and instant messages such as ‘WARM UP!’, ‘PUSH NOW!’, ‘COOL DOWN!’, ‘RESTORE PRESSURE!’, ‘BOX BOX BOX!’ associated with a simple colour code, enable the passenger to provide guidance to the driver.

From track to sofa
Once the day at the track has finished, all the data gathered during the session is saved to the appropriate cloud and accessed at any time. The App also contains a ‘My Garage’ area where users can register all the cars for which they use Track Adrenaline and thus always have easy access to the particulars of their vehicles, the measurements of the tyres and the results of all the performances so that these can be compared with each other.
