Race Engineer captures detailed telemetry from your driving sessions. Understanding this data is key to finding where you are gaining or losing time and what you can do to improve.
What telemetry shows
Race Engineer records multiple data channels including throttle input, brake pressure, speed, steering angle, gear selection, and your driving line. Each channel is plotted against distance around the circuit so you can see exactly what is happening at every point on track.
Delta and reference lap comparison
The most important part of telemetry is the delta, which shows where you are gaining and losing time compared to a reference lap. Once you identify where time is being lost, you can look at what the reference lap is doing differently on all the other channels at that point, such as a different racing line, earlier throttle application, or later braking. Comparing against GO Setups Pro Drivers or friends helps you understand what faster drivers do differently and gives you a clear direction for improvement.
Driving line analysis
The driving line overlay lets you compare your positioning on track against a reference lap. Small differences in corner entry, apex, and exit positioning often account for significant time differences. Pairing the line data with speed and throttle traces shows whether a different line allows earlier acceleration or higher minimum corner speed.
How to use the data
Start by looking at the delta to find the biggest time losses. Then switch to the other channels at those points to understand why the time is being lost. Focus on one or two corners at a time rather than trying to fix everything at once. Over multiple sessions, this approach builds a clear picture of your driving strengths and weaknesses.
