HOW TO Read KARTING DATA (The Basics)

One of the most important skills you can have as a driver is being able to read data. Not only will this help you learn where you are losing time on the race track but if you ever want to be able to do coaching in the sport, being able to read data is at the top of the list of things you need to know. Reading data was something that I always struggled with growing up. I never knew how to read it until I spent hours messing around on the system. In todays video, I will give you the basics of reading data and give you a good head start on your competition.

Dude, to be honest, one of the most helpful videos you've done so far. 👍👍

[@NorbergNation]

Thanks man! Always happy to share my knowledge!

[@Andrew-di4cm]

Please keep these data analysis videos going. Very informative and very little like this out there to help us. Would love for you to touch on engine tuning using data analysis (EGT) and ways to know if you can brake later or harder into any given corner

[@dmizzle73]

Hey Ryan, awesome video! Questions I'd have for a follow up:
1. How would you approach this analysis if you only had access to your own data?
2. How would you compare performance when across a day/weekend or even different events with long breaks between?
3. Do you have to become very consistent to see the effects of small set up changes to performance on laps?
Thanks again

Late to this party but I think data analysis is fundamental to self analysis and development. Keep this going!!

[@dennisadaley1]

Are you based in Florida?

[@christianciriani9358]

Great video ryan! keep uploading more data analysis videos please 🙏

[@NorbergNation]

Will do!

[@stephentilton2556]

Thank you for posting! Would love to see more about GPS on the Mychron combining speed/delta inputs with driving line!

[@asaa.kartracing]

Great video! Would love to see much more of this

[@adamweinracing]

THANK YOU SO MUCH RYAN. Always helping us😁

[@NorbergNation]

Happy to help!

[@terrier53]

Excellent video Ryan, thank you. Here in Canada we start racing at our track this coming weekend.

[@NorbergNation]

Thats awesome! Good Luck!

[@avocadotoast3680]

Nice! More data please

[@Jacobharrisracing]

Great video keep them coming about data, have you used Race studio 3 yet?

[@ZENCK750]

thanks ryan

[@CB-ug7ih]

Hi Ryan, Can you do a video about a deeper dive into Braking Techniques and which technique is best for what corners e.t.c.

[@NorbergNation]

Hopefully coming soon

[@kinglouie69]

nice video ^^

[@crxmotorsports3710]

Fantastic! Delta is so great for comparing laps. Would love some more professional tips for looking at braking traces to help gain lap time

[@NorbergNation]

Hope to get some of that soon

[@chrisgolder4033]

Awesome video, very helpful! Could you cover ways to spot turning into the corner too early, the GPS does not always seem accurate enough to trust the lines on the track map.

[@NorbergNation]

Im hoping to do another video like this soon

[@pippen001]

Great video Ryan. Keep them coming. Can I conclude that if youre gaining on the braking zone, but losing time after the apex you’re overdriving the kart?

[@theartist1497]

If you’re gaining time into the corner, but lose time overall through that corner, you’re overdriving

[@kuksenko_karting]

Hey, nice stuff.

[@NorbergNation]

Thank you!

[@jtecexpressracing1893]

Hey Ryan, definitely right on time for me with this video. In regard to the "faster driver" would I need to load someone else's data that is in my category from the same track that I could compare myself to?

[@NorbergNation]

You can compare yourself. You just need two laps

[@jorgeniebla1153]

Great video, hope to see more in same topic.

[@NorbergNation]

Happy to help!

[@diegoavalle5551]

Hi! Yes, keep these data videos analysis going please

[@NorbergNation]

Sounds good! Thanks for watching!

[@bigh3053]

do you have a video on detting up tbe data the way you have it?

[@blakechesbro3602]

Yes, Please make a data series, very helpful like to learn more. . Next, so Im clear, was it in fact two different drivers or same driver two sessions ?

[@NorbergNation]

It was the same driver just two different sessions

[@babakmansoor7644]

Thanks for another great video, it will be helpful if you could comment on the differences between Mychron 4 and 5 and if it’s worth to pay twice as much to get the 5?! Thanks again and wish you best of luck

[@NorbergNation]

The 5 requires less accessories to do the same stuff that the 4 does. The 5 is a really good piece for the price

[@babakmansoor7644]

@@NorbergNation thanks so much. I am new to karting, but enjoying it a lot as my daughter goes with me every practice on junior karts. We signed for a scholarship program for next year and should select the accessories. Your videos helping a lot. Wish you the best of luck

[@NorbergNation]

@@babakmansoor7644 Thats great! Thank you

[@deangiacopassi1951]

Trying to improve without having a coach. This is good stuff.

[@NorbergNation]

Glad I could help!

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

i was going to ask, I think I've noticed you use a M4? Is there a reason you don't have the 5?

[@NorbergNation]

Mainly because of the size of our team. When you have 26 drivers a weekend for a team its easier to download all the data on the key compared to using the wifi on the 5. The 5 is still a really good piece. For individual use id recommend the 5.

[@dondelchulia3189]

You can get more data out of the 4. It has more things you can hook up to it. Also you can’t have your data stolen over Wi-Fi. Even with the password protection it can still be taken very easily.

[@passbtw2960]

Is this on race studio 3 ?

[@parkermoss-mo5qq]

does this work for alfano?

[@ericcorzan3367]

Where does the delta come from? Your best lap time?

[@NorbergNation]

Yes

[@connorsbaldspot7767]

What is that app you use to download data and look at it

[@NorbergNation]

Race studio 3
