A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.

An operating strategy optimized for dynamic requirements for 48V drive systems of MHEV.

A system for a vehicle includes a powertrain configured to propel the vehicle, and a controller configured to, during a first lap of the vehicle around a track, identify a portion of the track corresponding to a correlation of velocity, throttle position, and steering angle values indicative of a maximum power threshold, and, during a second lap, responsive to approaching the portion, limit power output by the powertrain causing temperature of the powertrain to fall and, upon entering the portion, increase power output to the maximum power threshold causing the temperature to rise, such that a difference in temperature between initiation of the limiting and exiting of the portion approaches zero.
