Never under pressure.
I'm Vid -building a better way to manage tyre pressure on track. More consistent tyre pressure. More consistent laps.
Why pressure matters
Pressure
changes.
Performance
follows.
The pressure you set in the paddock is not the pressure you drive on. As tyre temperature rises, pressure rises with it - changing how the tyre, and ultimately the car, behaves.
PitLess is being built to make that process more consistent.
Built for drivers who lose track time chasing hot pressure between sessions.
Road to launch
Currently: cycle-testing on the bench rig
First bench cycles completed. Full data follows once track testing begins.

What PitLess is
An engineering company for people who actually drive their cars.
I'm building PitLess - a better way to manage tyre pressure on track. I lead the engineering, prototyping and testing of the first product - built around one deceptively simple challenge I kept running into myself: keeping tyre pressure closer to where the car works best as conditions change on track.
For now, I'm showing the engineering rather than making promises.
Supported by the Katapult accelerator programme
Testing with Dewesoft data acquisition systems
Follow the build
From track. To data. Back to track.
I started PitLess because of a track-day problem I kept running into myself. Every step since has been about turning that problem into something measurable, testable and repeatable.
01 · Understand
Understanding the problem
I started with track behaviour, data and conversations with drivers before deciding what the solution should look like.
02 · Measure
Turning it into something measurable
Ideas become useful only when you can test them. So I built the rigs, sensors and logging tools needed to measure what actually happens.
03 · Validate
Back to the track
Bench testing is only the beginning. The next step is validating the hardware where the problem started: on track.

Questions
Fair enough
What is PitLess building?
Hardware designed to improve tyre-pressure management for track-day drivers. The exact product will be revealed once we're happy with how it performs.
Is it being tested?
Yes. Physical prototypes are currently going through controlled bench testing before track validation begins.
Can I buy it yet?
Not yet. Join the list and you'll know when that changes.
Can I test a prototype?
We'll need real drivers once track testing begins. Join the list and tell us what you drive.
