How to compare Pulse telemetry laps in 2D and 3D

Start by opening a comparison of two laps. Once the selected laps and their reference are visible, you can stay with the 2D view or use 3D on a supported layout. The optional sections below explain camera choice, playback alignment and how to examine a specific passage.

Updated

Before you start

Rider Pro access and two recorded laps on the same track layout, from your own or shared sessions. 3D requires a supported track model; available channels depend on the recordings.

Open the lap comparison

To watch just one lap, use the single-lap replay guide. Here you’ll put a second lap beside your reference.

  1. Open a recorded session from Racing → Sessions in MyRacing. To use a coach’s or friend’s lap, ask them to share the session with your account first.
  2. Open the lap comparison and choose your two laps. Lap A is the reference. Use the second selector to choose lap B from the same track layout, then confirm the comparison.
  3. Check the A and B lap cards. Confirm that the dates and lap numbers match your selection. B−A is the time difference against the reference.

The comparison is open when the selected laps appear with their coloured paths and available graphs. Match each card’s colour to its path before following a difference around the circuit. You can begin reviewing in this 2D view; the 3D and playback options below are optional.

Watch the selected laps in 3D

  1. Choose 3D in the map panel. On supported layouts, both rides appear on the circuit with recorded channels and the time delta alongside.
  2. Use the camera settings to choose your viewpoint. Select the lap you want to watch from. Chase follows that motorcycle from behind; Onboard gives a virtual rider’s view; Aerial helps you examine the paths across the track width.
  3. Press Play and use the playback speed control. Slow down or pause when a difference passes too quickly to follow. Keep the lap colours in view to connect each motorcycle with its readings.

Changing which motorcycle the camera follows changes the viewpoint. Lap A remains the timing reference.

Choose how the rides line up

Use Playback alignment to choose Elapsed time and watch the gap develop, or Track position to compare readings at corresponding points on the circuit.

For a closer look, select a marked corner from the scope selector or use Custom section. Open Phases for a phase-by-phase comparison and expand Measurements for the values behind the traces.

If a view or reading is missing

  • A shared lap is absent: confirm that the owner has shared the session with your account, then look for the shared session in the lap selector. Choose laps from the same track layout for the comparison.
  • 3D is unavailable: the layout needs a supported 3D model. Continue with the 2D comparison to examine paths and the available graphs.
  • A channel has no values: compare only readings present in the recordings. A missing grip trace, for example, does not mean the rider used no throttle.

For a throttle question, Grip or Grip Pos. is the recorded throttle-grip position; Throttle is the separate opening reported by the ECU. Deceleration includes engine braking and does not measure brake-lever pressure. GPS quality affects the precision of the paths, especially when their separation is small.

You should now have the intended laps in view, know which one supplies the time reference and be able to return to the passage you want to inspect. The articles on corner comparison and braking consistency explain those analyses in more detail.
