Analyze in Capture

Open any session inside Capture. Read the lap list, track map and channel lanes, compare with a reference lap and open each braking zone.

Since version 1.4.0, Capture analyzes your sessions inside the app. You do not need to open the website to read a lap.

Find a session

Analyze in the sidebar lists every session in your account and on this PC. It also lists the sessions that still wait to upload from this PC.

  • Filter by Simulator, Track and Car.
  • Pick a session to open it.

You can also open a session from Home. In the History tab, press Analyze on the session row.

Read the session

The session view shows three things:

  • The lap list. It shows your pace, your best sectors and your theoretical best lap.
  • The track map. Use Color the line by to color your line by Inputs, Speed, Brake or Throttle.
  • The channel lanes. There is one lane per channel along the lap: Throttle, Brake, Gear, Steering, RPM and Yaw rate.

The map and the lanes move together. Hover one, and the other follows.

To zoom into a stretch of the lap, drag across the strip on top of the lanes. You can also scroll, or press plus and minus. Press 0 to show the whole lap again.

If the lap did not record a value, Capture shows ”—” and not 0.

Compare against a reference lap

Press Compare to open Compare Lap. Pick the reference lap from one of these tabs:

TabWhat it lists
SessionOther laps of This session, and laps from Other sessions you synced
LeaderboardPublic laps with telemetry for this track
Garage61Laps you import from a Garage61 CSV export (iRacing only)

Other sessions and the leaderboard appear only after this session is uploaded to the cloud.

How to read the comparison:

  • Your lap is the solid line. The reference lap is the dashed line.
  • The delta bar shows the time you gain or lose along the lap.
  • Braking zones are paired by their position on track. If the reference lap has no braking zone at a corner, Capture says so.

Press Save comparison to keep a comparison and come back to it later.

Import a Garage61 lap

The Garage61 tab shows only for iRacing sessions.

  1. Export the lap from Garage61 as a CSV file.
  2. Keep the original filename. Capture reads the driver, car, track and lap time from it: Garage 61 - [Driver] - [Car] - [Track] - [Time] - [ID].csv.
  3. In the Garage61 tab, press Import from Garage61.
  4. Drop the CSV file in the box, or click to browse.

The track must match your session. If the car is different, Capture warns you. You can still press Import anyway and use the lap as a reference.

Open a braking zone

Click a numbered braking zone on the map to open it. The zone shows:

  • Entry speed and minimum speed
  • Peak brake
  • Duration
  • A close-up trace of the zone

With a reference lap, choose Your lap, Reference lap or Both. The reference lap is dashed.

Create an exercise

For laps in your Braking Lab account, press Create exercise in a braking zone. Capture turns the brake trace of that corner into a practice exercise.

Laps that are only on this PC cannot become exercises. Upload the session first.
