Telemetry

Available Charts

TrackOut provides several interactive charts for analyzing your telemetry data. All charts share a synchronized cursor, so hovering on one updates the position indicator on all others.


Track Map

The track map displays your driving line on an interactive satellite view. It is the primary way to connect data values to physical locations on the circuit.

  • Speed-colored line -- The driving line is color-coded from green (slow) to red (fast), giving you an instant visual of speed throughout the lap
  • Braking zone markers -- Red markers indicate where braking begins, green markers indicate where braking ends
  • Centerline overlay -- When TrackOut detects a known track, the official centerline is displayed for reference
  • Click interaction -- Click anywhere on the map to set the cursor position and see detailed data values for all selected laps at that point

Each selected lap draws its own line on the map, making it easy to see differences in driving lines through corners.


Speed Chart

The speed chart plots vehicle speed (mph) against track distance (meters). Each selected lap appears as a separate colored line.

  • X-axis: Distance around the track in meters
  • Y-axis: Speed in mph
  • Hover: See exact speed values for all selected laps at any point

This chart is especially useful for comparing corner entry and exit speeds between laps. Look for areas where one lap carries noticeably more speed through a corner or brakes later.


G-Force Chart

The G-force chart displays lateral (cornering) and longitudinal (braking/acceleration) forces throughout the lap.

Lateral G

Shows cornering loads. Positive values indicate a right turn, negative values indicate a left turn. Higher absolute values mean more cornering grip is being used.

Longitudinal G

Shows braking (negative values) and acceleration (positive values). This channel reveals how hard you are braking into corners and how aggressively you are accelerating out.

Tip

Compare G-force traces between your fastest and average laps. If your fast lap shows higher sustained lateral G through a corner, you know you can push harder on your average laps.


Delta Trace Chart

The delta trace shows cumulative time difference between each selected lap and the reference lap (the first lap you selected).

  • Negative delta -- You are ahead of the reference lap
  • Positive delta -- You are behind the reference lap
  • Steep slopes -- Indicate sections where significant time is being gained or lost

This is the single most important chart for identifying where to focus your improvement efforts. See Lap Comparison for a detailed guide on reading delta traces.


Braking Zone Table

TrackOut automatically detects braking zones and presents a table of statistics for each zone across all selected laps.

Available metrics

MetricDescription
Entry SpeedSpeed when braking begins
Exit SpeedSpeed at the end of the braking zone
Peak GMaximum braking force applied
DurationTime spent in the braking zone

Using the braking zone table

Compare the same braking zone across different laps to identify opportunities:

  • Later braking -- A faster lap may show a later brake point (shorter duration) with higher entry speed
  • Higher exit speed -- Carrying more speed out of a braking zone means more time on the following straight
  • Peak G differences -- If you are not reaching the same peak G on every lap, there may be inconsistency in brake application

Braking zone detection

Braking zones are detected algorithmically based on longitudinal G-force patterns. Occasionally a zone may be split or merged incorrectly. Use the track map and speed chart to cross-reference if a braking zone looks unusual.
