Tips for Better Analysis

These tips will help you extract the most value from your telemetry data and translate analysis into faster lap times.

1. Compare your best to your average

Select your fastest lap and an average lap to identify where consistency improvements are needed. The delta trace will show exactly which sections of the track account for the time difference.

If you are consistently fast in some sections but slow in others, you may have specific technique gaps rather than an overall pace issue.

2. Focus on braking zones first

Braking zones are often where the most time can be gained. Use the braking zone table to compare entry speed, exit speed, and peak G across laps.

Look for laps where you brake later (higher entry speed) or carry more speed through the corner (higher exit speed). Even small differences at each braking zone compound into significant time savings over a full lap.

3. Watch the delta trace slopes

Steep sections on the delta trace indicate significant time gain or loss. Flat sections mean you are performing similarly to the reference lap.

Prioritize the steepest slopes. A section where you lose 0.3 seconds in a single corner is a better target than three sections where you lose 0.1 seconds each -- it is usually easier to fix one big problem than three small ones.

4. Use the track map click feature

Click on any point of the track map to see exact data values for all selected laps at that position. This lets you answer specific questions like "How fast was I going at the apex of Turn 5 on each lap?"

Combine this with the synchronized cursor to scrub through corners and understand how your speed, G-forces, and braking differ between laps at the same physical location.

5. Read the G-force friction circle

The friction circle in the session overlay reveals your driving technique:

Tight, symmetrical pattern -- Smooth, consistent inputs
Scattered dots -- Abrupt or inconsistent inputs
Gaps in the lower quadrants -- Opportunities to use more trail braking
Small circle diameter -- You may not be using the full grip available

Progressive improvement

Do not try to fix everything at once. Pick the one or two corners where the delta trace shows the biggest time loss and focus your next session on those. Once they improve, move on to the next set of opportunities.

6. Compare across sessions

Save your sessions so you can compare performance across different track days. Over time, you can track your improvement at specific tracks and identify whether setup changes or technique adjustments are making a difference.
