Hi GPLers,

What are the most useful tools in GPLRA? Which are most valuable in helping
you to go fast and save precious tenths?

An LFS replay analyser would be reasonably straightforward to write (the
team have released the .raf file format) so I was wondering what would be
best to start with. Personally I think the speed-distance graph (with time
difference on) and the overhead view "draw the racing line in real time"
functions are the ones that save me most time.

Cheers
Jim

According to a poll we had on our site about a year ago it was
drivinglines and the telemetry graph that was most useful.

Since then we have improved the graph a bit so that might be even more
popular.

Complete results from that poll:

I'd say the same: drivinglines along with a graph and some way to show
WHERE you loose time is most important.

Cheers,

Coo hi Martin!

Thanks for the reply, very useful. Hehe it's hard work this replay analysing
thing!

Any chance that you might consider adapting GPLRA for LFS? This thread has

As it is right now my computer is not powerful enough to run LFS.
Atleast not to make it a pleasant drive. More like a slide show :(

So interest isn't that high.

Cheers,
