Understanding Your Race Engineer Analysis

What it analyses

• All plans: your lap times, best and typical laps, consistency, comparison with previous races at the same track, and recorded setup, tyres and conditions.
• Racer Pro, when the session has an uploaded GPS file: laps lined up by position on track, time lost or gained in each track section, speed patterns, and — only if your file recorded them — brake, throttle, RPM, gear and G-force channels.

Reading an answer

• Based on — the evidence used for the answer.
• Measured — values recorded in your file or entered by you.
• Calculated — worked out by Racer IQ from those values, such as section time differences.
• Possible reason — a hypothesis, not a fact.
• Try next session — a suggested experiment, and how to check whether it helped.

Reference values, not targets

Minimum speeds, slowing points and acceleration points come from the laps you actually drove. Even on your fastest lap they are reference measurements, not necessarily the best possible approach. Use them to compare laps and investigate changes, and judge any change by the section time.

Good to know Track sections are created by Racer IQ by splitting your lap at its slowest points. They are not official corner names, numbers or timing sectors. Without brake data, "slowing points" are where speed starts dropping — not measured braking.

Tip Racer IQ can't promise a lap-time improvement. Always make changes progressively and safely.
