Re: Consistency in GPL..... Measurement?

6 posts by 6 people · 15 Mar 2000 - 25 Mar 2000

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.

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?

Michael The problem I�m trying to solve is not that I�m slow - I will deal will deal with that later - I�m 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. Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

An online race(or *any* race) might not be consistent. You still have to lift for traffic, which will affect your times... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?
