An racing coach device can comprise an infrared (IR) sensor, a processing element, and a display. The IR sensor can be configured to measure a tire temperature of a vehicle. The processing element wirelessly coupled to the IR sensor can be configured to generate racing metrics based on the tire temperature. The display coupled to the processing element can be configured to convey the racing metrics to a user of the vehicle.

Racing coach device with tire temperature sensor

A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.
