How to browse, filter, and explore your telemetry sessions and individual lap data.

Filtering Sessions

Use the filters above the table to narrow down your data:

  • Track — Filter by a specific circuit
  • Car — Show only sessions with a particular car
  • Date range — Focus on a specific time period

Sorting

Click any column header to sort by that field. Click again to reverse the order. This is useful for quickly finding your fastest sessions or most recent uploads.

  • Focus on clean laps — Filter by valid laps to avoid skewed analysis
  • Look for consistency — Small deltas between laps indicate consistent driving
  • Use the best lap as reference — When comparing, your best lap is a natural benchmark
