Track day drivers will have a new ally thanks to Pirelli which has launched an ‘intelligent’ tyre capable of telling them when to warm up the rubber, their lap times and when it is time to stop in the pits.

Pirelli’s Cyber technologies has come up with the P Zero Track Adrenaline tyre. It combines telemetry and tyre data so it can show the driver when to warm up tyres, when it’s the right time to push for a flying lap, and when they need to come into the pits for a stop.

Track Adrenaline consists of an electronic box that can easily be fitted to a car, as well as a smartphone app and P Zero Trofeo R tyres with sensors inside. The box talks to the app via wi-fi and provides a sophisticated lap timer, with telemetry information and real time analysis of each track session. Lap times, split times, maximum as well as average speeds, acceleration, braking, theoretically ideal laps and comparisons with previous sessions are among the displays that the app can offer every driver.

The Pirelli Track Adrenaline box is also equipped with a powerful GPS unit, which guarantees precise geolocation and definition of racing lines, as well as timing.

Pirelli Track Adrenaline will go on sale in July.
