Advanced Kart Analysis
Measuring kart speed is difficult because raw lap times are influenced by the driver's skill and the day's weather. To find the truly "fast" karts, we use a multi-stage normalization process.
1. Remove Environment Bias
We compare the kart's Top 25% average to the session's Top 25% average. This filters out traffic, mistakes, and warm-up laps.
(Kart Top 25% Avg / Session Top 25% Avg) × 1002. Remove Driver Bias
Each driver has a Baseline Index built from their Top 25% pace across all sessions excluding the kart being evaluated. This stops a driver who often races one kart from having that kart absorbed into their baseline.
Actual Index - Driver Baseline (other karts) = Pace Delta3. Track Current Form
Karts change over time. We prioritize a Running Average of the last 5 races to show current mechanical condition.
Each dot represents a kart plotted by how many races it has run and its current normalized pace delta.Negative values mean the kart is faster than the driver's historical baseline — green dots are the ones to grab.
Current Form vs. Usage
Top Right: The Reliable Rockets
High usage, consistently performing better than driver baseline.
Top Left: Hidden Gems
Low usage but exceptional normalized pace.
Bottom Right: The Tired Workhorses
Frequently used but consistently slower than driver expectations.
Bottom Left: The Lemons
Rarely used and underperforming.
