Apex Scout
About

I built this to stop guessing at my own track days.

I'm João. I drive a MINI John Cooper Works R56 on track days, and I built Apex Scout to tell me the one thing to change between Sessions.

Why I built it

I drive track days at Portimão and Estoril, and I log my laps like most Drivers do. Then the data sits on my phone.

Drivers say the same thing in every forum thread. They want to stop guessing. There's no time to read the data between Sessions, and lap times alone don't tell you if a change worked. Traffic, tyres and heat move them too.

So Apex Scout does the reading. It shows where you lost time, gives you one change to try, then tells you whether it worked or whether it was luck.

What's already done

Race Optimizer

Built for my own Track Days.

A Mac app just for me. I never sold it, and Apex Scout grew out of it.

The engine

Proven on a real Estoril day.

It timed a friend's RaceBox laps within 5 ms of the Logger's own.

My times

2:09.41 at Portimão. 2:05.34 at Estoril.

My best laps, in the MINI John Cooper Works R56.
