Purple Box

One box that brings any car into Apex Insights — the same telemetry, the same analysis, from a car we did not build.

  • Any car, into the same platform
  • Nothing to rebuild or instrument
  • Session video and data, kept together
  • Captured at the car, signal or not
Coming soon

Apex Insights, in any car

Apex Insights is in early access across the simulators our partners use, and is being designed into our own second-generation car. The Purple Box is the third case: a car we did not build, brought into the same platform.

Any car, one platform

Connect a car and its data arrives in Apex Insights exactly as it does from our own car and from the simulators — the same analysis, the same debrief, whatever you drive.

Nothing to integrate

It reads what the car already reports about itself. No rebuild, no bespoke instrumentation, no engineering programme before you can use it.

New cars without a wait

Supporting another car is a matter of describing it, not of waiting for a software release built around it.

Video and data together

The session is recorded alongside the telemetry and stays aligned to it, so a trace and the corner it came from are never separated.

Works with no signal

Sessions are captured at the car first. Patchy connectivity at a circuit costs you nothing — the data is already safe.

Nothing to run trackside

It starts when the car does and needs no laptop, no operator and no attention during a session.

What it means

Your car, our race engineering

A team running its own cars gets the tooling we use on ours: live telemetry, the virtual pitwall, corner-by-corner analysis and AI race engineering — without changing the car, and without a development project to get there. What a driver learns in the simulator, in our car, or in yours all lands in one place and can be compared directly.

Status

In development

The Purple Box is not yet available. If you run a car or a programme you would want to connect, tell us what you run and we will keep you posted.
