Discover your Genius

Avant Garde Associates (AGA) launches their first iOS mobile application, Track Day Genius (TDG) in March 2016. Designed and built to a standard, not a price.

TDG is the ultimate track day enthusiasts app, designed to harness the benefits of data-logging, vehicle profiling and video sessions into one simple iPhone app- the first of it’s kind.

With existing data loggers falling short of expectations; needing hardwiring into the vehicles, providing a mediocre user experience, contributing little to performance improvement on track circuits – Kofi Brenya (on behalf of AGA), a self-confessed petrol-head and heavy-weight UX designer, delivers the perfect solution.

TDG seamlessly masks the complexity of telemetry and heavy functionality with an intuitive visual interface – that makes this app a work of Genius.

“As a tech geek I wanted to design something that would combine vehicle profiling, video recording and data logging, all into a simple and intuitive UI, is that too much to ask…(Kofi Brenya)

As a bonus feature our Leaderboard and track Database is FREE, yeah! So, our users can broadcast their “stella on-track performance” and see their ranking at any track worldwide (our app has over 500 tracks preloaded), how cool is that?!

TDG is designed to enhance performance through learning and sharing, offering in-app purchases so the user gets to play before making the decision purchase their session data.

“You like it – you buy it!” So what is the user paying for? Continual development, we’ve done first bit, it’s only fair  ‘We + users’ do the rest together! It’s the making of a Track Genius!

So Keep Calm, Unlock your Genius – download Track Day Genius app from Apple iTunes.
