Tyres provide their maximum level of grip when heated to within a certain temperature range. Finding out if your rubber is getting up to temperature, heating up evenly or over-heating due to lockups, mis-balanced brakes, tyre pressures or poor setup is therefore a massive advantage.

By using VBOX infrared tyre temperature monitoring kit you can easily see how your tyres accumulate and dissipate heat during a lap, giving you a clear picture of what is happening.

The Tyre Temperature Monitoring System consists of four tyre temperature sensors and a VBOX Touch display for the visual representation of the tyre temperature, but is available as sensors only. Information can be logged to a VBOX Video HD2 and even displayed as part of the graphic overlay in the video.

The display shows the whole surface temperature for all four tyres via 64 individual heat maps, as well as live temperature and maximum temperature values. Each sensor can measure up to 16 temperature points on an object with surface temperatures ranging from -20° C to 300° C.

A version with a higher temperature range of up to 1100° C is available for those wanting to see what is happening to brake disc surface temperatures.
