After spending a months of racing practice (both simRacing and real tracking) trying to improve driving skill with just trail and error, I decided to try to use telemetry data in simRacing. In my 1st few hours of analysis, I was able to see my errors in braking start and stop, lack of trail braking time and wheel lockup. Now I have something to work on an measure improvement against.
Last week I found a online video on this analysis subject by Roger Caddell National Training Manager at AiM Sports, LLC. Graham, Washington. I thought some people might interested in seeing what some basic telemetry analysis can do to help their driving and car setups if they like looking at plots and thinking about what they mean. Doing telemetry is not as easy as just driving the track but it shows up characteristics that you might never notice by just driving lap after lap. If you can not figure out why your lap times are to slow and not improving you might try telemetry analysis.
The attached PDF includes text and images that is a summary of some of the material that Caddell discusses. Caddell allowed me to post few example images from his video. His video also shows the power of adding some simple math functions to create different ways at looking at your driving results. Most of these math functions are also supported in MoTeC, which I what I am using with GSC2013.
