Why do I need this device if I can simply install an app to my phone?

Usually, in the most of modern smartphones GPS data has 1Hz update rate (1 time per second), which is not appropriate for any reasonable measurement accuracy and results repeatability. Racebox has 16Hz GPS/GLONASS module onboard. Together with smart software algorythms it can provide high level of measurement precision comparable with much more expensive professional tools.

What is included in a package?

The device itself, bracket for windshield installation, USB Type-C cable, owner’s manual, car sticker and additional 25 horse powers in original box:)

How engine power is calculating?

Power calculation is considering all main forces, applied to the vehicle: inertion force (including inertion of rotating parts), wheel rolling resistance force, aerodynamical force and incline resistance force. For correct power calculation it is important to setup initial vehicle parameters: weight, transmission type, drag coefficient and frontal area. You can find this parameters for the particular vehicle in the Internet.
