Chevrolet Impala Kentucky Speedway Hot Lap Analysis

Let’s look at the telemetry from a hot lap around Kentucky Speedwayin the Chrvrolet Impala.

Analysis

Analysing the speed chart, it's clear that driverB enters the corner at a lower speed than driverA, indicating less momentum from the previous corner and setting a disadvantage from the start. DriverB's minimum speed occurs later in the corner, pointing to a delayed throttle application and less effective acceleration phase compared to driverA. This results in time lost during corner exit for driverB.

In terms of braking, driverA brakes later and more aggressively, reaching peak pressure quickly, while driverB starts braking earlier with a smoother increase in brake pressure. DriverB's effective trail braking helps maintain speed through the corner. DriverA could benefit from a similar approach for better control and optimised entry speed.

Regarding throttle control, driverA has a more gradual increase in throttle application post-corner, suggesting caution or traction issues leading to slower acceleration. The uneven nature of their throttle application could indicate wheelspin or grip uncertainty. On the other hand, driverB applies the throttle quicker and smoother, showing confident vehicle control and traction management for immediate acceleration out of the corner.

To improve lap times, focusing on carrying more momentum into corners, optimising braking points with effective trail braking, and applying smooth and confident throttle inputs to minimise wheelspin and maximise exit speed are key takeaways for both drivers.
