Theoretical Fast Laps
I have been studying data from my G2X logger, I was just wondering what kind of time difference most of you are seeing between your fast lap and your theoretical fast lap? I am showing a 2.386 second quicker theoretical lap. Based on a 1.15.700 lap. Thanks in advance

Theoretical best lap really depends on the track conditions between the 2 sets of data, and what kind of track it is. It's easier to make up time on a longer fast track vs a shorter low speed track. At Road Atlanta I'm within 3 tenths of my theoretical best. At CMP I'm about 1 second off it. Barber is one of those tracks that you either get everything perfect, or you throw the lap away, and there I'm about 8 tenths off my theoretical best.

How does the G2X measure a TBL? Do you set segments and it adds them up accordingly? If so how many segments?
A lot depends on traffic and your ability to be consistent. If you can get inside .3, you are doing well. 1 second isn't too bad. If you did a lot of clean, no traffic laps and you are still 2.3 off, you should really concentrate on being more consistent. And this is why video with data overlay is great because you can see where a car got in the way, or you messed up the turn.

That said, I often see 1.5-2 better on my TBL at Thunderhill than I actually attained... just shows I don't push hard enough through all the segments every lap...
