Advanced Analysis
Reports
Reports put any of your car data side by side -- lap times, tread depth, pad thickness, heat cycles, weather, fluids, service cost -- for one car or across your whole garage. Pick the metrics, pick a layout, save the report, and optionally ask TrackOut to write up what the numbers show.
Open it from Track Days (the Reports link beside the day counts) or go straight to /analysis/reports.
Build a report
The left rail is the whole recipe:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cars | All cars by default, or any set of cars for a cross-car comparison. |
| Time range | Last 7 days through all time. Points before the cutoff are dropped. |
| Layout | How the series are drawn -- see below. |
| Metrics | Up to eight metrics, grouped by what they describe. |
Every change redraws the report immediately, and the address bar keeps the current recipe, so you can copy the link to come back to an unsaved report or send it to a co-driver on your account.
Metrics
| Group | Metrics | Where the data comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Sessions | Best lap, optimal lap, laps per session, consistency, front and rear cold pressure, tire age | Your logged track sessions. Lap metrics draw one line per car and track, because a lap time only means something at one circuit. |
| Weather | Ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed | The weather logged on each session. |
| Tires | Tread depth, pressure, temperature, heat cycles | Tread, pressure, and temperature readings, one line per tire. Heat cycles are rebuilt from the sessions each tire ran, ending at the tire's current total. |
| Brakes | Pad thickness | Thickness measurements, one line per pad. |
| Parts | Part wear reading | Readings for any part you opted into wear tracking, in that part's own unit. |
| Fluids | Fluid used | Quantity of each fluid recorded on your service records, one line per fluid. |
| Service | Service cost, odometer | Cost and mileage on your service records, one line per car. |
Tire age is how many sessions the most-used tire mounted for a session had run, including that session -- handy next to best lap to see whether a set is falling off.
Layouts
- Small multiples -- one quiet chart per series with the latest value, its change over the range, and the low and high marked on the line. Best for scanning many things at once.
- Overlay -- every series on one time axis, labelled at the line end. When series use different units, each one is indexed so it starts at 100 and the shapes stay comparable.
- Scatter -- two per-session metrics plotted against each other, one dot per session, coloured by car, with the correlation stated underneath. Try best lap against ambient temperature, or against tire age. Lap-time axes are flipped so faster sits higher.
- Table -- first, latest, change, trend per 30 days, low, high, and reading count for every series.
Scatter needs per-session metrics
Only metrics with exactly one value per session can be joined session by session, so tire, brake, part, fluid, and service series are not offered as scatter axes.
Save and reopen reports
Save report names the current recipe; Saved reports lists yours so you can reopen, rename, or delete them. When you change a saved report the header shows Unsaved changes until you save again or use Save as… to keep both. You can keep up to 50 saved reports.
AI summary
On a saved report, Explain this report asks TrackOut to read the series and write a short analysis: what is trending, what is flat, which series appear to move together, and what the data cannot support yet. Numbers are quoted with their units and nothing outside the report is used.
The summary is cached with the data it described. Reopening the report shows the same text instantly; Refresh only re-reads the data when a reading, session, or the recipe itself has changed, and says so otherwise. Editing a saved recipe clears its summary because it no longer describes what you are looking at.
AI summaries are available on paid plans. See Subscription & Billing.
Tips
- Log tread depth and pad thickness from the car's Wear tab or while saving a session -- every reading becomes a point here.
- Fill in the weather and cold pressures on your sessions to unlock the scatter comparisons.
- A report with nothing to plot usually means the time range is tighter than your data; try All time first, then narrow.
