At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Chevrolet announced an all new industry first Performance Data Recorder (PDR) that will be available on the 2015 Corvette Stingray. The fully integrated system enables users to record high-definition video, with telemetry overlays of their drive experiences on and off the track.
"The Performance Data Recorder combines the ability to record and share drive videos with the power of a professional level motorsports telemetry system. Drivers can easily record and share their experiences driving down the Tail of the Dragon or lapping Road Atlanta. In addition, with the included telemetry software users can analyse their laps in incredible detail, and find opportunities to improve their driving and lap times," said Tadge Juechter, Chief Engineer at Corvette.
The PDR system was developed with Cosworth, the British motorsports engineering company that also supplies the Corvette Racing team's data acquisition and telemetry electronics system. It will be available with the start of regular 2015 Corvette production, later in the third quarter of 2014 - with pricing to be announced closer to launch.
