Garmin Catalyst 2 Driving Performance Optimiser/Lap Timer

The Garmin Catalyst™ 2 is an advanced racetrack driving performance optimiser designed to help drivers analyse performance, improve consistency and reduce lap times through real-time coaching and detailed post-session analysis. Combining a high-definition camera, integrated data logging and intelligent performance analysis into a compact cockpit-mounted device, the Catalyst™ 2 is an incredibly powerful tool for track day enthusiasts and competitive drivers alike.

Using Garmin’s patented True Optimal Lap™ technology, the system analyses your best sectors and combines them into a realistic achievable lap, helping drivers identify exactly where time can be gained. During sessions, the system provides real-time audio coaching, adapting to your driving and delivering live feedback focused on improving braking points, cornering lines and overall consistency.

The Catalyst™ 2 also records high-quality HD video with integrated data overlays, allowing detailed review of every session. When paired with the Garmin Catalyst™ app, drivers can compare laps, analyse performance data and compete against friends using online leaderboards and cloud-based video storage via Garmin Vault.

Designed for both circuit and drag racing applications, the system uses Garmin’s advanced True Track Positioning™ technology, combining accelerometers, gyroscopes, image processing and high-frequency GNSS positioning to accurately map vehicle positioning and racing lines without requiring external beacons.

Whether used for track days, time attack, sprint events or driver development, the Garmin Catalyst™ 2 is one of the most advanced and user-friendly driver coaching systems available.
