Product Description

The Garmin Catalyst Driving Performance Optimiser is an advanced on-track driver coaching system designed to help drivers improve lap times, consistency and confidence in a circuit environment. Suitable for first-time track-goers through to experienced racers, it collects performance data while you drive and provides clear session analysis with practical recommendations for improvement.

Using True Track Positioning, the Garmin Catalyst combines 10Hz multi-GNSS positioning, image processing and built-in accelerometers to build a detailed picture of your racing line. Features such as True Optimal Lap and apex performance analysis help identify where time can be gained, showing how your best driven sectors, apex choices and line decisions affect overall lap performance.

The large 7-inch touchscreen display allows you to review session data immediately once you return to the garage, without needing complex downloads or data analysis software. Real-time lap data includes best lap time, adaptive delta times, lap count and total session time, giving drivers useful feedback during and after each session.

The Garmin Catalyst also acts as a virtual driver coach, offering adaptive coaching with audio cues via Bluetooth through a compatible helmet headset or car stereo. The included 1080p HD Remote Cam records clear driving footage that is time-synced with your lap data, making post-session review easier and more useful.

The kit includes the Garmin Catalyst unit, pre-installed 32GB microSD card, Remote Cam with polarised lens cover, cables, mounting hardware, power leads and accessories required for installation.

This device is intended only for recreational use in a circuit environment and must not be used on public roads. A Bluetooth-enabled helmet or headset is required for audio coaching and is sold separately. For best GPS accuracy, the unit should be mounted on the windscreen or dashboard with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky, especially in carbon fibre vehicles.
