In simple terms, this thing is awesome. We just got a bunch in today. I put it on my 996TT and laughed at how cool it was. This basically makes dialing in your tire pressure for driving events at the track super easy.

Beyond the sales, thought I would share as it is new to me!

The PressureTrack SuperData 4 supports four tires and can be easily installed without any technical knowledge. With a user friendly-graphic LCD monitor it will give you that edge in competitive racing. Allowing the driver to monitor what's between them and the road.
Installation

• The Pressure Track system has ease of installation with complete set up in under 5 minutes.
  This ease of application allows quick interchanges between vehicles and different sets of wheels and tires.
  Works great on tube tires and inner liners.
  Comes complete with various Monitor mounting systems ranging from suction cups to pre glued mounts
  Includes locking system for sensors.
  Vehicle 12v or internal battery power.
  Comes complete with batteries and power cord
  Developed with the Racer in mind.

Management

• Powerful graphical user interface for rapid tire pressure and temperature status.
  Real-time monitoring allowing fast user response
  Audible alarms on start up and pressure and temp emergency .
  System automatic power saving and easily changed batteries in Receiver and Sensors.
  Adjustable warning settings,
  Switches between Pounds, Bar, Centigrade & Fahrenheit.
  Illuminated screen option for night races & rally stages.

Reliability and Robust

• All sensors can be locked with included special wrench.
  All major components are swappable in case any component is broken
  Strict environmental tests have shown lifespan can last for up to 10 years
  Provides signal accessibility by providing peripheral signal integrity technology
  Receiver has fuzzy to learn IDs from original sensors and PressureTrack back up sensors.
  Extremely lightweight, small size and a special mechanical design of sensors have proved this system to be the best in its class.

 

Dan I like it and the track pressures and temps are a PITA. where do you suggest the monitor goes other than the windshield I dont want it there when I am on the track
thanks

Those sensors (caps) look heavier than a normal cap. I would caution use of those on rubber valve stems. The forces generated at high speed could cause the stems to stetch or otherwise deform. At the very least, it could cause damage to your wheel. If you have metal stems, you should be good.

 

I think this is the best such unit I've seen because of the
easy intuitive location of the sensors. Having the pressure
information alone is worth the price. However, I would have
to make some pyrometer experiments to correlate the actual
tire temperature where it matters, at the tread face, with
what the unit says. The unit's sensor is measuring (I assume)
the tire air temperature at the cap. For a long track session,
this may follow the average tire temperature.
For what I do, autocross, I'd have to be leery until I determined
what the correlation was, because autocross tires get hot very
quickly at the tread surface long before the whole carcass
catches up, if ever, and the pressure does rise very quickly
too, but the tread surface also cools very quickly, and the
tire pressure tends to stay higher a lot longer, so I'm guessing
that the air temperature may not fluctuate accurately to
indicate actual tread temperature, at least for my purposes.
Still, to reiterate, I am seriously considering this unit for the
pressure info.

Did anyone check his video, nearly pissed myself, It sold it for me!

Dan your the man, lol

 

Tom - It also comes with a non suction mount that has double tape, you could put it so it was almost laying flat where the ash tray was. You could even clip it to an AC vent in the center.

AGSurfer - your theory makes sense, but they weigh NOTHING. Probably the same as the aluminum chrome cap I had on there.

Joe - Your points are very good. I usually look at tire pressure myself, but knowing surface temps especially in a tight turning course is good. You can always test it out for us

 

Steve LOL, i do what I can!

 

LOL LOL LOL - YouTube did not load the right one LOL! Will fix now.

 

Dan, what the heck was that white car that was in front of you on the track? hard to tell in the video

 

Widebody M3 Turbocharged full race car. It was more of an effect then a reality.

Sorry for those that watched the video with the mess up. The correct one is there now.

 

I thought it was something crazy...

 

are they made in china?

 

I dont know... What isn't anymore? Company site is www.hawksheadracing.com

Thanks
Dan

 

I have HRE's (reverse lip)... the stem is close to the barrel, do you think it would fit?

Thanks,
Seth.

 

none of our cars here have 3pc wheels...hmmmm... Take a straight on pic of the valve step, then tell me how much room you have between the lip and the cap there now.
