Using telemetry to refine setups

@Monzstar83ooooooooh boy! This just got me all giddy!

Just post a screenshot of your interface so that I can see what sort of data you can visualize - and their formats. Or just tell me the app you're using, but that will have me google searching for images of its interface anyway 🙃

Do you have a routine or protocol already for creating setups? I mean your routine: what you set up first, what you look for on your first stint, etc.
Method is just as important as data here. No use adjusting differentials before nailing your wings.

It may take me a few hours to get back to your properly, busy day in the office today. But you've got me hooked already 💕

@mariohomoh, thanks mate - knew this would get you excited 😊 

Honestly no rush - I have a feeling this will be a lengthy conversation.

I’m away from my tablet until tomorrow, but the app I use is called SRT (https://www.simracingtelemetry.com/index.html#home)

It has a load of data points, from the basics (throttle, brake, steering etc), and going as far as suspension travel and wheel speed - I’ll try to get a list and some screen grabs together.

With regards to my setup process, I start with a base setup which I developed from the standard balanced setup and go from there. I usually start with wings, then camber, suspension etc and finally tyre pressures. I generally go for balance over speed, and target balance first. I now have a bank of base setups for each track, which don’t differ from that base setup too much in mechanical areas (perhaps only a few clicks either side), apart from wings and tyre pressures.

I appreciate the help 👍🏽

Hey @mariohomoh 

Apologies for the delay in responding - have been sidelined with Coronavirus 😩

Got some screen shots for you regarding SRT.

The app offers data on the overall session and individual laps. The data points available are below, and for either the session or individual lap you can select from the parameters below. 

The app is broken down into the following sections;

Charts - available for both session and lap; where you can get data point values for the session or lap. If analysing a single lap, sometimes it groups things together, like surface temps for all 4 tyres. If comparing with another lap, it’ll split them back out again. You can get a data point at any point in the lap, drill down etc.

Stats - available for both session and lap; good for looking at overall things - avg throttle for example

Track - available for lap data only; can zoom into certain parts to analyse single lap/ compare with other laps high level data points like throttle, steering, racing lines etc

Table - available for lap data only; full list of data points to analyse single lap/ compare with other lap for a specific point in the lap
