  • Garmin Catalyst 2 is a compact, all-in-one racetrack driving performance optimizer with a 3.0" touchscreen and a built-in 1440p camera. It mounts in the cockpit, records your on-track data and video, and shows you exactly where you can find time. It is not intended for public roadway use.

  • Key features include:

    • Real-Time Audio Coaching: Hear cues on speed, braking and more during your session through a BLUETOOTH-enabled helmet/headset (sold separately) or your vehicle stereo.

    • True Optimal Lap with Video: Splices your best achievable lap, built only from lines you actually drove and can repeat, into one composite video so you know what is possible on your next session.

    • Enhanced True Track Positioning: Built-in accelerometers, gyroscopes and image processing combine with 25 Hz multi-GNSS positioning (GPS, Galileo and BeiDou) to map the racing line you actually drove.

    • Top 3 Opportunities: After each session, the Garmin Catalyst app automatically shows your top three opportunities to improve, with driving performance scores and segment analysis of racing line, speed and acceleration/deceleration.

    • Real-Time Lap Data: The touchscreen shows last lap, best lap, adaptive delta time (red when you are behind, green when you are ahead), lap count and total session time.

    • Drag Racing Timer: New for Catalyst 2, it records times and distance milestones including 0-60 mph, 1/8-mile and 1/4-mile.

    • Built-In 1440p Camera: 140-degree diagonal field of view, Garmin Clarity HDR and up to 30 FPS, recording to a pre-installed 32 GB microSD card. Export videos with data overlays such as track map, speed, delta time and G-G traction circle to share.

    • Quick, Simple Mounting: The low-profile magnetic mount secures to the windshield in seconds, and the touchscreen helps you align the camera. An adapter for action cam mounts is included.

    • Polarized Lens Cover: The removable polarized lens cover reduces windshield glare.

    • Track Database: Preloaded with road courses worldwide. Create custom tracks and configurations, and get software and track database updates over Wi-Fi.

    • Session Review and Adaptive Coaching: Compare your optimal lap to your intelligent average lap for braking, cornering, speed, apex and delta time, and compare sessions to see where to improve next.

    • Leaderboards and Vault Videos: Compare against other drivers and friends. With a Vault plan (sold separately), optimal and best-lap videos from every session save automatically, and leaderboard and friend videos unlock.

    • Multiple Drivers and Cars: Supports multiple users and multiple cars, and stores the history of all your on-track performance.

    • In-Car Flagging Capable: Works with the MYLAPS X2 RaceLink Club and In-car Flagging Y-cable, each sold separately or together as the In-car Flagging Solution.

    • Compact Design: The 4 oz (115 g) unit runs on USB-C power and uses a low-profile magnetic mount with an 11 mm ball.

  • The Garmin Catalyst app is required. Some app features, including animated graphs and social sharing, require an internet connection (Wi-Fi recommended).

Questions about Garmin Catalyst 2 Driving Performance Optimizer

Q&A

6 answered questions

  • What is the difference between the Garmin Catalyst and the Garmin Catalyst 2?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      The Garmin Catalyst 2 is a compact 4 oz unit with a built-in 1440p camera, Garmin Clarity HDR optics and 25 Hz multi-GNSS positioning. The original Garmin Catalyst uses a 6.95-inch screen, 10 Hz positioning and a separate 1080p Remote Cam. Both use True Track Positioning and True Optimal Lap to show where you can find time.

      The Catalyst 2 has a 3.0-inch touchscreen and works with Garmin Vault plans, which the original does not. The original weighs 15.4 oz and shows your analysis on its large built-in display. Read what the original Garmin Catalyst does, or compare every performance meter we carry.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Does the Garmin Catalyst 2 need a subscription?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      Garmin lists a Vault plan as required for three Garmin Catalyst 2 features: leaderboard videos, friends' videos and automatic cloud storage of your optimal and best lap videos. Coaching, lap data and session review in the Garmin Catalyst app are not marked as Vault features.

      Vault features also need an internet connection, and Garmin recommends Wi-Fi. Your session video saves to the pre-installed 32 GB microSD card either way. The original Garmin Catalyst is not compatible with Vault plans.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Do you need a phone to use the Garmin Catalyst 2?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      Yes. Garmin states that the Garmin Catalyst app is required for the Garmin Catalyst 2. Install it on a compatible smartphone or tablet to see lap times, leaderboards, session summaries, graphs and your top three opportunities for improvement after each session.

      The app also adds video overlays, such as a track map, speed, delta time and a G-G traction circle, and exports 1440p videos with those overlays. Sharing to social media needs an internet connection. The Garmin Catalyst R1 racing radar uses its own app, the Garmin Catalyst Radar app.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • How long does the Garmin Catalyst 2 battery last on track?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      The Garmin Catalyst 2 battery lasts up to 45 minutes and takes about 2.5 hours to charge over USB-C. For a full track day, run it on vehicle power with the included 13 ft (4 m) vehicle power cable and dual-port vehicle power adapter.

      The box also includes a 5 ft (1.5 m) charging/data cable and a low-profile magnetic mount, so the unit stays powered and in place through every session. Browse all Garmin Catalyst accessories.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Can I use the Garmin Catalyst 2 on public roads?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      No. Garmin states that the Garmin Catalyst 2 is intended only for recreational use on a racetrack and must never be used on public roadways. Using it on the street may cause an accident with property damage, serious personal injury or death.

      On track, it records your laps and video and coaches you through Bluetooth earbuds or your car stereo. You are responsible for using it in a safe and prudent manner. For awareness of cars closing from behind on track, see the Garmin Catalyst R1 racing radar.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Can the Garmin Catalyst 2 show race flags in the car?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      Yes. The Garmin Catalyst 2 supports in-car flagging when you add the MYLAPS X2 RaceLink Club and the In-car Flagging Y-cable. Both are sold separately, or together as the In-car Flagging Solution. The Catalyst 2 does not show flags on its own.

      Check with your event organizer that the track runs a MYLAPS flagging system before you buy the add-ons.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • What memory card does the Garmin Catalyst 2 use?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      The Garmin Catalyst 2 comes with a pre-installed 32 GB microSD card (Class 10) and accepts microSD cards up to 512 GB. The card stores the video and data that the built-in 1440p camera records, at up to 30 frames per second.

      A larger card holds more sessions before you need to clear space. With an active Garmin Vault plan and Wi-Fi, your optimal and best lap videos also save to the cloud automatically. For clearer video, keep a replacement polarized lens cover on hand.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • What does the polarized lens cover on the Garmin Catalyst 2 do?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      The polarized lens cover on the Garmin Catalyst 2 increases video clarity and reduces reflections in the video from its built-in 1440p camera. One comes in the box, and Garmin lists part number 010-12530-18 as the replacement.

      FAST RACER carries that part as the Garmin Polarized Lens Filter for Dash Cam. Fit a new one if yours is scratched or lost. See every Garmin Catalyst accessory we carry.

      seo@fastracer.com

  • Can I move the Garmin Catalyst 2 between cars?

    seo@fastracer.com

    • Staff Answer

      Yes. The Garmin Catalyst 2 supports multiple users and multiple cars, and it stores the history of all your on-track sessions. The included low-profile magnetic mount lets you easily attach and remove the unit.

      For a second car, Garmin lists a portable mini suction cup mount, part number 010-12530-25. FAST RACER carries it as the Garmin Dash Cam Universal Suction Cup Mount. Browse all Garmin Catalyst accessories.
