G vs. Distance
The G vs. Distance Graph shows the G forces that are occurring at each place around the track.
By playing back a lap and following the vehicle icon on the Track Map and the vehicle cursor on
the G vs. Distance Graph, you can see exactly what happened such as a touch of the brakes or a
steering correction in the corner. This is a very useful graph for comparing two driving styles. The
solid line shows forward/reverse forces (braking, acceleration) while the dotted line shows side
forces (left, right turns).

Velocity vs. Time
The Velocity vs. Time Graph is just like the Velocity vs. Distance only it plots over time instead of
distance. Therefore, it is most useful for analyzing a single vehicle since two different laps will not
match up on the time scale.
Velocity vs. Distance
This is the most useful graph for comparing two or more drivers or cars. You can get an instant
read on where a driver is carrying more speed through a turn, which car has the best top speed at
the end of a long straightaway, and which car accelerates the best. It is easy to determine which
trough is which turn by playing back the vehicle position on the Track Map and watching the
cursor positions on the Velocity vs. Distance Graph.
