How exactly does Performance Data Recorder work? It combines a mounted camera from the driver’s point-of-view with a dedicated microphone, self-contained telemetry recorder, GPS Receiver, and a SD card slot for video retrieval. “The Performance Data Recorder combines the ability to record and share drive videos with the power of a professional-level motorsports telemetry system,” explained Tadge Juechter, chief engineer of the Corvette.
So what has changed for the second generation? In these 2022 Blackwing performance sedans, you’ll have higher quality video, a new data overlay design, and your choice of several overlay modes including Sport, Track, Timing, and video-only. Like the first generation, Performance Data Recorder can determine your vehicle’s position on the track via cameras embedded in the vehicle and a GPS server. When you’re ready to see how you did on the track, you can watch the video directly on your infotainment screen or you can transfer it to another device via the aforementioned SD card slot.
A friendly reminder: the Performance Data Recorder is meant for closed-circuit track driving. We encourage you to drive responsibly and please follow all applicable speed limits and rules of the road. Ready to get behind the wheel of a vehicle with the Performance Data Recorder?
