Your iPhone Is a Telemetry Box
Hot Laps uses your device's built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, and barometer to capture real-time performance data on track days, autocross events, and drag strips.
Race Mode
Record full sessions with live lap timing, speed readout, and a real-time G-force ball. Set a GPS start/finish line and Hot Laps detects laps automatically. Watch your track outline draw itself on the mini map as you drive.
