📐 What does Phase mean

Every lap is classified into one of six categories, so you can immediately tell "which laps are actually racing":

RACING: real racing laps, included in all optimization advice and comparisons.
WARMUP: opening laps, speed hasn't built up yet.
COOLDOWN: closing laps, already winding down.
INCIDENT: laps with a mid-lap stop (vmin near 0) — could be a crash, off-track, yielding, red flag, or marshal stop. Safety first — review what happened.
GPS NOISE: laps with many GPS position spikes (e.g. red lines flying off the track on the map). Trajectory and distance are unreliable, excluded from analysis.
NON-KART: not driving data at all (walking in pit / handling equipment).

The last five categories don't participate in lap-time comparisons — they're only shown for session completeness, avoiding polluting the analysis.

📉 Lap evolutionwarmup / fade / mistakes

Lap time vs lap number — spot tyre warmup, fatigue fade and mistake laps. Cooldown laps are excluded to keep the axis readable.

🏁 Sector composition

Split the lap into 3 sectors to locate which one drags the lap; each flags the corner most worth practicing.

👻 Ghost Lap · realistic best

Stitch each lap’s fastest S1/S2/S3 into one lap = a target you can actually hit.

—realistic best

📐 What does Ghost Lap mean

Your actually achievable target lap time.

The idea is simple: you've already driven the fastest S1, fastest S2, fastest S3 in different laps — stitching those three best segments into one lap gives you the Ghost Lap. It's not fantasy; it's capability you've already demonstrated.

The other number, Sum of Corner Gaps, is the physical upper bound "if every corner were driven perfectly" — reference value, not realistic, because corners constrain each other.

Treat Ghost Lap as your target, Sum of Corner Gaps as motivational ceiling.

🛰 Track map · mini-sector

Lap split into 24 equal-distance segments; each colored by how much slower it is than that segment's own fastest across all laps. Purple = segment-best, green→yellow→red = bigger loss. Pick a lap below to recolor; toggle the satellite view for real imagery.

📐 What does Track Map show

Overhead view of the track, with every lap's actual trajectory drawn on a satellite basemap.

Different colors = different laps, easy to compare racing lines.
Orange glowing dots = coast hesitation, marking segments where you neither braked nor accelerated — these are usually places where you're losing lap time for no reason.

After other modules pinpoint a problem, come back to this map to see exactly which corner it happens at.

🔥 Sector × Lap time deltagreen=fastest · redder=slower

Rows = sectors, columns = laps; cell = how much slower than that sector’s own fastest lap. ★ = fastest.

📐 What does this heatmap show

Helps you answer: "A specific lap was slow — slow in which sector?"

X axis = laps, Y axis = sectors. Greener = better performance in that sector (★ = sector's fastest); redder = more behind.

For example, if one lap is 0.4s slow overall and the heatmap shows S2 alone is 0.3s slow, then improvement should focus on corners in S2, not generic "drive faster".

🎯 Corner improvementsorted by savable time

How much faster the apex still can be (speed ceiling). Continuous corners (e.g. T2←T1) improve at the *previous* corner.

Potential is estimated from GPS-fitted corner radius (medium confidence) — focus on *which* corners to practice; absolute seconds are indicative.

Top speed

Two stacked plots: top = speed, bottom = Δtime vs the fastest lap. Shared lap legend — click a lap to toggle both.

Speed (km/h)

Δ time vs fastest (s)

📐 What does this chart show · Reading the Δ Time subplot

Every lap's speed at the same track position is overlaid, so you can see "at a specific spot on the track, exactly where is the gap between the fastest lap and your lap".

X axis is relative track position (lap start to lap end), not time — so laps of different speeds can still be directly overlaid at the same corner apex.

Top — Speed (km/h): each line is a lap's speed curve.
  • Bold green ★ = best lap
  • Normal brightness = the next 3 fastest laps
  • Semi-transparent background = other valid laps (still shows the "spread band" width without stealing focus)
  • Click legend to toggle any lap on / off

Bottom — Δ Time vs Best (s): standard "where am I losing time" view used by MoTeC i2 / FastF1.
  • Y axis = cumulative time this lap is behind best lap at this position (green dashed = 0 = best itself)
  • Slope going up (more positive) = this segment you're slower than best, steeper = losing more
  • Flat / down slope = this segment you match or beat best
  • The steepest ramp = where you're losing time on this lap (usually a specific corner)

Clicking the legend toggles a lap — both subplots show / hide together (shared legendgroup).

Gold S1 / S2 / S3 labels and faint bands at the top map to the three sectors above — so you can directly locate a curve segment to a specific sector and its corners.

🏁 Racing line · best vs worst

Same corner — how do your best and worst lines differ? Apex early or late?

▼

Best (green) vs worst (red) line for each top corner, ★ = apex.

📐 What does this chart show

Picks the "3 corners with highest potential" and overlays your best lap and your worst lap on the same chart, so you can directly see "what line I took when I got it right, and what line when I got it wrong".

Green = best lap's trajectory at this corner, red = worst lap's; ★ = that lap's apex.

Seeing the difference between the two lines (entry point, apex, exit direction) is the most direct way to turn potential into result.

🔄 Grip · friction circle (G-G)

How much grip do brake / accel / cornering actually use?

IMU long · GPS lat▼

G-G scatter: X = lateral G (left↔right), Y = longitudinal G (brake↑ accel↓). Outer points = more grip used.

📐 First time? 30-second guide

This chart tells you "how much of your tire's grip you actually used".

Principle (10 sec)
Total tire grip is fixed. You ask it to do 3 things: accelerate (throttle) / decelerate (brake) / turn. Do several at once, each gets less. The usable limit drawn out is a circle — that's the "friction circle". Good driving = always at the circle's edge (using all grip); conservative = clustered near center (wasted).

How to read (axes and forces)
• X axis = cornering G. Right = right corner, Left = left corner.
• Y axis = decel/accel G. Up = braking, Down = accelerating.
• Each dot = an instant on your best lap, color matches which corner (T1-T12, gray = straight).
• Red dashed circle = your session's grip limit.
• Gray thin dashes = 0.5g / 1g / 1.5g reference circles.

What problems can you spot (4 signal types)

Crowded center, sparse edge — grip underused, driving conservatively / not pushing hard.
Empty bottom (sparse lower half) — no trail braking, you "brake then turn", losing 0.1-0.3s/corner (most common issue).
Missing half of left/right semicircle — that direction's corners aren't using full grip (track-biased / you fear that direction).
Too flat vertically (narrow top-bottom) — brake/accel intensity both weak. Karting has smaller longitudinal G than lateral (engine torque limited) which is normal, but near-zero longitudinal spread needs diagnosis: check your hardest brake — under 0.4g for the whole session means car/tire/surface physical limit (drum brake / rental kart common), not your problem; 0.5g+ peak but persistent 0.2g means soft brake style, you can push harder.

How to improve (specific actions)
1. Main gap = bottom (insufficient trail brake): see "weak corners" at top. At these corners you brake-then-turn. Try: in the last 0.5-1s before entry, keep light brake while starting to turn (release brake a beat later than steer-in). This shifts weight to front tires, increases grip, allows higher entry speed.

2. Main gap = accel phase: hesitation between brake-release and full throttle on exit. Try: on exit go straight to full throttle, let car find its own limit.

3. Main gap = one side's corners: in that direction, push harder, steer to limit, see if car understeers (understeer = true limit).

Note: G values inferred from GPS speed + heading (no IMU). After 0.2s smoothing + extreme clipping, karting scenario error ±5%. Only A-type braking corners count for trail brake evaluation; K-type high-speed kinks don't brake and don't count.

🎯 Consistency · Apex

Can you reproduce your best lap's moves every lap?

▼

Unlike L1 (how much faster you could go), this asks: can you replicate your best every lap?

📐 What does this chart show · Reading the boxplot

One boxplot per corner, showing distribution of apex speed across all laps at that corner — the standard visualization used by FastF1 / PITWALL and other F1 lap-time analysis tools.

How to read:

Box (cyan rectangle) = Q1-Q3, middle 50% of lap distribution
Solid white line = median (typical level)
Dashed white line = mean
Top / bottom whiskers = extremes (excluding outliers)
Dots = each lap (hover to see which L#)
Gold ★ = best lap's apex speed at this corner (capability ceiling)

Note: worst lap not marked separately — whiskers already show the extreme range, double-marking would clutter.

How to use:

Narrow box: strong apex-speed repeatability at this corner (steady rhythm)
Wide box / long whiskers: unstable, big lap-to-lap variation → improvement focus
Gold ★ far above median: you've done it once — there's room to bring the slower laps up
Outliers (dots far from box): a specific lap had an incident at this corner (crash / yield / error) — hover to see which lap
Distribution biased high / low: high = most laps near best; low = most laps lagging

🔍Combo diagnosisLate-braker · Refine your line — Daring brake is rare, next step match turn-in timing with brake — try braking later but turning in earlier; the apex will be hit more precisely.

📐 What do the 6 dimensions mean

This session's "driving fingerprint", showing strengths and weaknesses at a glance:

  • Aggressiveness: how hard you brake and how aggressively you accelerate.
  • Smoothness: symmetry / fluidity of corner entry-exit, vs. abrupt stab-and-release.
  • Late Braking: how late you dare brake — closer to apex = more aggressive.
  • Apex Discipline: how consistently each lap hits the same apex (line discipline).
  • Exit Throttle: how quickly you can get back on throttle after apex (exit efficiency).
  • Consistency: whether lap times are stable, or fast-slow vary wildly.

Single-session sample is small and scores have noise — focus on the radar's overall shape and labels, not specific numeric scores.

Lao ZhangAI veteran debrief

Opening
Your best lap was L10 at 32.78s, but the theoretical 3-sector best is 32.6s. That's a recoverable 0.18s. You've got a solid base, but there's still room to shave off some time.

Style sketch
You're an aggressive late-braker with early throttle application, but your line tends to drift. Your rhythm is fairly consistent, but you could work on smoothing out your inputs.

Top corners to improve
- T5: This right-hand corner has a radius of 4.6m and a grip ceiling of 26.4 km/h. Your best lap (L16) had an apex speed of 25.1 km/h, 1.3 km/h below the ceiling. In your worst lap (L11), you entered too hot at 44.7 km/h, which forced you to brake harder and exit slower at 25.7 km/h. Next session, brake 5m later, aim for an entry speed of 35 km/h, and push the apex speed to 26 km/h.
- T1: With a radius of 5.4m, T1's grip ceiling is 28.7 km/h. Your best lap (L14) hit 25.5 km/h at the apex, 3.2 km/h off the ceiling. In your worst lap (L19), you braked too early and hard, which cost you time. Next time, brake 10m later, target an entry speed of 30 km/h, and aim for an apex speed of 28 km/h.
- T4: This left-hand corner has a 4.6m radius and a grip ceiling of 26.4 km/h. Your best lap (L15) reached 26.0 km/h at the apex. In your worst lap (L5), you had a large apex offset of -11.15m, which affected your speed. Next session, focus on hitting the apex more precisely, brake 8m later, and aim for an apex speed of 26.4 km/h.

Consistency observation
You've shown some great laps, but consistency is key. T5 and T1 had the biggest time gaps between your best and worst laps. In T5, your best lap was 5.48s, while your worst was 6.62s. In T1, it was 6.04s vs 7.12s. Try to replicate your best lap's braking, entry, and exit strategies on every lap.

Rhythm observation
Your rhythm was decisive this session; no real hesitation.

Closing
You've got a lot of potential, and you've already shown some great driving. Next session, focus on T5 and try to push the apex speed closer to the ceiling. With some practice, you'll be able to shave off those extra tenths of a second.
