Race statisics

[martin]

We are working on saving data in database, but need input for making a good viewer.
The database format will be a few tables in *.dbf format.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

It is a Pre Version
Summary for each driver in the fields above
Position in the race for each round as a graph or in a list
Lap times each round as a graph or in a list
Distance to the guide, fuel consumption, tire wear, ect. ect. ect.
Driver and telemetry data individually selected and deselected

Nice video Balu,

I really like the graph at 4 seconds - It really tells the story of the race

Also like the graph at 6 seconds.

Table at 10 seconds is simple and very easy to use.

Table at 14 again tells the story of the race well.

So, other than the obvious lap times I think race position on each lap is a great thing to see.

Also time between each racer on each lap is good.

Fuel level over the duration of the race for each driver.

All of these I saw in Balu's video.

It would be nice (especially during practice) to get an average lap time for the stint, with the posibility to subtract all laps with a time longer than x sec (i.e. the laps with deslotings). I also would like to see this time during driving. I think it would be a good tool for evanuating different gearings.

Hi MattiasC
The analysis works only after the session. But there you can set a x sec time for deslotings or if you Rest. 

"I think it would be a good tool for evanuating different gearings"
This is like my thought to use more Cars in one session. In the "Requirements for using RCS64" "Switch driver and or cars without the training to interrupt."

Have you tried use the new Race result files for your database.

Martin

Martin,
I only have the old file of Marcel. In the video data has been used from another RCS. Where you save the racing data, I have not found in the new Version!
If you have current files you can send me a mail. I have soon holiday then I can  perform further experiments.

Today Many windows versions only allow you to save data in your local App folder. So RCS64 is saving all data here:

It different from user to user but on my PC its here:

C:\Users\mschmidt\AppData\Roaming\RCS64\result

So you have the files your self..

Martin,
I'm sorry but i do not find a Folder "RCS64" or a File "Result" on my PC
It is a Windows XP Version.
What is the Name from the File where you save the Results and at is the last 3 letters "Result:rcs"?

[martin]

As I racall it:
XP user settings is saved in the document and settings folder.

The files are *.rcs files..
Does it help?

[Balu69]

OK I found the Files ,
They do not find it with the search in explorer.
I take a look and give you an answer

[Balu69]

The files are slightly different. All values are now filled with "value". In the old version, only the value was available. This weekend I'll revise the import filters.

Nice work Balu, keep it up, would be great to get it to work.

[Balu69]

Today, First test with the new data from rcs in the evulation, it work. But there is a long way to finish

Great jon Friedhelm, I like your dedication!
