Drive ten laps. Get a plan.

It finds the corners from your own line, measures what you do at each one lap after lap, and tells you where the time is and what to try next session. Nothing leaves your PC: the laps stay in this page and are analysed here.

SLOW TO FAST, FROM A REAL LAP

Looking for the connector at localhost:8765…
What you get

Every lap, one chart

All your laps by position on the track, so they sit on top of each other. Where the lines fan out is where you are inconsistent.

The pedals, corner by corner

Brake and throttle against distance from the apex, for every braking corner, with the shape of the release measured.

Where the time is

Ranked by the corner, so you know what to practice instead of driving round hoping it comes to you.

Every picture on this page is from a real six lap session at Sardegna in a Megane Gr.4.
How it works
1
Run the connector. The same GT7-Live-Connector the telemetry dashboard uses, on the PC next to your console. If you already have it, you are ready.
2
Drive. Pick a track and a car, go to Time Trial or Practice, and put some laps in. Scruffy laps and out-laps are kept as well; the report uses them all and tells you which was best.
3
Read the report. It builds itself after three laps and refreshes every time you cross the line. The target is only what you are aiming for, so keep going past it and it keeps improving.
For streamers

Put your lap times on your stream

This page can strip itself down to just the lap strip, on a transparent background, for OBS. It logs the laps itself, so it works with nothing else open, and the lap you are on counts up live. Set it up here and paste the address into a browser source.

PREVIEW
Open it

In OBS: add a Browser source, paste that in, set it to about 900 x 220, and untick Shutdown source when not visible so it keeps logging while you are on another scene. Transparent needs no keying. If you would rather capture the window and key it in your editor, choose green screen. Open this page normally in another tab at the same time and the overlay follows that session instead of starting its own, so your report and your overlay always agree.

MEMBERS: COMPARE AGAINST A FASTER DRIVER

Channel members can load a reference lap and have the report measure you against it corner by corner: where the time goes, who brakes later, who carries more speed, and what to change. Your code is in the members-only post on the channel.
