What would be the best way to compare GPL sessions?

Would average laptime + varians be enough info? Does the varians take
the number of laps into concideration?

or do we need number of laps, average laptimes, slowest lap, fastest
lap, variation etc?

Smith's convention of using the highest speeds at the end of straights, and
the lowest speeds seen through a corner or segment of interest might be
worthwhile. Lap times might be a usable measure, but I think at too gross a
level of detail. Replay analysis of important corners over several laps
would be more telling. I think something like SpyGirl's raised arm
synchronization would do the trick. The important places to look are
probably between turn-in and apex, and somewhat beyond track-out. The
braking zones would show very high variance, and might not be very revealing
for most of us. If you're dead consistent in braking, but still slow, I
can't imagine what might be wrong.

The problem Im trying to solve is not that Im slow - I will deal will
deal with that later - Im trying to get an opinion about what info is
needed to get a standard for measureing that "Consistency" that
everybody is talking about.

I'm jumping in a bit late here so I'm not sure exactly what you mean
by consistency, but, the easiest way to see a benchmark for
consistency is to save some VROC online races with good drivers, open
it up in SpyGirl, and see the lap time for every lap that every
driver did in the race. You will see the best people capable of 10,
15, or even 20 laps with little more than a 1 second variation.

An online race(or *any* race) might not be consistent. You still have to lift
for traffic, which will affect your times...
