Looking for data analysis / driving tips for Sonoma Raceway (TrackAddict CSV/VBO) — 996 Cab (3.2 Swap)
Hey everyone,
I’m looking to see if anyone with experience at Sonoma Raceway would be willing to take a look at my telemetry/data logs from TrackAddict and point out where I’m leaving time on the table.
Car & Setup Details:
Vehicle: 1999 Porsche 996 Cabriolet
Engine: 3.2L Boxster S flat-six swap
Tires: Falken Azenis RT615K+
Brakes: EBC Bluestuff NDX
Best Lap: Mid-to-upper 2:01s (Sports Car Course / standard configuration)
I’m currently running in the mid-to-upper 2:01s and know there's more time in the car, but I'd love a fresh pair of eyes on my telemetry to help identify specific sectors where I’m over-braking, coasting, or missing apex speeds (particularly through Turn 2, the Carousel/T6, or the chicane/T10).
Link to lap video:

Data Files Available:
I can provide exported .csv or .vbo files from TrackAddict (or raw telemetry overlay charts) via Google Drive/Dropbox for anyone interested in taking a look.
If you're familiar with the line at Sonoma in lower-power / momentum-focused builds, any feedback on inputs or speed traces would be greatly appreciated!
Drop a comment or DM if you're open to checking out the file, and I’ll send over the link. Thanks!

I built a free tool to analyze your lap data & I'd love your feedback!
It works with csv/vbo files from VBOX, AiM, Porsche Track Precision app, and RaceChrono. Just upload the files directly to the site, and it gives you turn-by-turn analysis of where you're losing time and how to correct it. I'm sure there are plenty of bugs, but I'm all ears for your feedback. If it's helpful, useless, buggy, or inaccurate, I'd really like to know so I can make it a truly helpful tool. Thanks!

First time at Grattan. 1:37.51 in nd miata
Stock power. 215 ps4s. Tecna gt. It's easily one of my favorite tracks now. I'm hoping to come back with a better setup next year.

My track only runs transponders for the late models, so I built my own

For driving with a passenger what's the best seating position for laptimes?
Is it both in the front? Or for cars with rear seats is having the passenger sit in the back diagonal from the driver (so in a LHD car the passenger sits in the rear right hand side seat) better?

One no reserve auction and you can own an entire race team
I kind of feel like this stuff might be worth more parted out separately, but who knows? Anyone out there wants to start a race team tomorrow?

Somehow managed a new PB in amongst some mowing...
Headed back to one of our smaller local tracks (Logic) that I haven't visited for 2 years. The car is now almost 3s faster at our bigger/faster local track, Winton Motor Raceway, where I hold the NA ZN6 lap record, so I was expecting a big improvement on my previous best at Logic of 55.9 - the local club record is held by a mate of mine at 55.68 and I was gunning for it.
Did manage to finish first in class and 2nd outright behind whatever that open wheel thing is so wasn't all bad given there was plenty of turbo stuff there.
2026 Logic Lap Dash - New PB with chapters for the PB lap and B-Roll footage of me making a mess of things lol
Some cool stuff in the pits as usual too, supercharged 86, LS swapped BMW, Lancer with Cadillac calipers, Barra swapped R32 with roof lol
Final round of my main sprint series is in 2 weeks, wish me luck.

Send Me your Laps. Ex Pro Driver (Ex McLaren Development Driver, Ex Formula E Reserve)
New here! I raced professionally and now coach full time, mostly drivers in Ferrari Challenge, F4, F3 and GT World Challenge.
I’m putting together some material for people getting into track driving and racing, and I’d rather ask than guess. What did you want to know when you were starting out, or what do you still want a straight answer on?
The common ones I hear are whether your car is good enough, how hard to push on day one, whether you’re actually getting faster or just braver, and why a 20 minute session leaves you wrecked. But I’d love to hear yours.
Ask anything and I’ll give you a proper answer.
