Team VRD Adopts Turn-by-Turn Analytics for Performance Optimization

Team VRD has partnered with Laminar Insights to implement turn-by-turn analytics for the upcoming season. The racing program will utilize our corner-by-corner analysis platform to optimize driver performance and make data-driven engineering decisions.

The Challenge:
Like many competitive racing programs, Team VRD recognized the need for deeper insights into driver performance beyond traditional lap times and sector splits. Understanding exactly where time is gained or lost at the individual corner level is critical for both driver development and setup optimization.

The Solution:
Laminar Insights' turn-by-turn analytics platform provides VRD's engineering team with GPS-synchronized, corner-by-corner telemetry analysis. The system breaks down every lap into individual corners, analyzing:

- Braking points and brake pressure application
- Throttle application timing and progression
- Racing line accuracy and consistency
- Corner entry, apex, and exit speeds
- Driver-to-driver performance comparisons
- Session-to-session improvement tracking

The platform integrates with VRD's existing data acquisition system, providing real-time analysis during practice sessions and detailed post-session reports for engineering debriefs.

Implementation:
The VRD engineering team will use the analytics platform throughout the season to:
- Identify specific corners where drivers are gaining or losing time
- Accelerate driver development with targeted, data-backed coaching
- Validate setup changes with objective, corner-specific performance data
- Make informed tire strategy and race pace decisions
- Track performance improvements across the season

Looking Ahead:
The partnership represents VRD's commitment to data-driven performance optimization. With turn-by-turn analytics integrated into their engineering workflow, the team gains the precision insights needed to extract maximum performance from every session.

We're looking forward to supporting Team VRD's goals this season and tracking their progress as they leverage corner-by-corner data to gain competitive advantage.
