would i replace a live instructor with this? probably not, he s aware of all sorts of things going on in the car, including what s going on for me, whereas at the moment this isn t. so it s better than nothing. but it doesn t replace ben. keep pushing. people need to understand the limitations of what it can do and understand what it can t do, and as we experience through the day, the tyres get hot and then they go off slightly. so the lap you did three laps ago, you re not going to get near again. so the unit telling you to keep trying for that time, maybe isn t the safest thing to do. there s also one other feature which is worth mentioning. it s very easy to set new tracks using the device. you just have to drive the same route three times and that could be anywhere, including public roads.
good turning! i said it first. you did, give you that. the results were in. it did help me go faster. it helped me straighten out the corners and actually give a little bit more gas in some cases where i was quite willing to sometimes lift off. would i replace a live instructor with this? probably not. he s aware of all sorts of things going on in the car, including what s going on for me, whereas at the moment this isn t. so it s better than nothing,but it doesn t replace ben. people need to understand the limitations of what it can do and understand what it can t do as we experience through the day, the tyres get hot and then they go off slightly.

100 miles an hour. now, for most drivers, what makes the biggest difference to their speed isn t tweaking a car. it s driving skills. and that usually means getting an instructor to help us improve. that is until now. garmin have come up with the catalyst. it wants to make me drive faster. my question is, can it make me the next lewis hamilton? and more to the point, is ben here out of a job? so far, my best time around the track was a 151.6. i was getting faster, but could the catalyst make a difference? now when you re driving a car around a track,
is ben here out of a job? so far, my best time around the track was a 151.6. i was getting faster, but could the catalyst make a difference? now, when you re driving a car around a track, you re aiming to do one thing take corners really well. it s all about timing, braking in the right place and trying to keep the car on the fastest line. to help with this, the catalyst uses a camera footage to the dashboard, along with gps and accelerometers, to work out where you are on the circuit. after three set up laps, it analyses where it thinks improvements can be made and then coaches you in real time as you continued round the circuit. brake hard.
