Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Laguna Seca Hot Lap Analysis

Let’s look at the telemetry from a hot lap around Laguna Seca in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

Analysis

Analysing the speed chart, it's clear that driver B enters the corner at a lower speed than driver A, likely due to lost momentum from the previous corner. This disadvantage is compounded as driver B reaches their minimum speed later than driver A, indicating a delay in throttle application which results in a slower exit and overall time loss. To improve, driver B should carry more momentum from the preceding corner and optimise throttle timing.

In terms of braking, driver B applies a stronger initial brake pressure compared to driver A, showing more confidence and commitment. However, while driver B transitions into trail braking sooner after reaching peak braking pressure, allowing for better car control and potentially faster lap times by carrying more speed into the apex, driver A maintains higher brake pressure for longer before tapering off. Driver A could benefit from adopting some of driver B's braking techniques to enhance corner entry speed.

When it comes to throttle control, driver A has a gradual increase which suggests controlled acceleration and stability through the corner. In contrast, driver B's aggressive throttle application aims for quicker exits but risks losing rear grip. Driver A begins applying throttle earlier with less intensity focusing on stability and momentum preservation, while driver B applies it later with greater force aiming to maximise exit speed. Driver A's method may offer more consistent lap times whereas driver B's could result in faster laps but with greater execution difficulty.
