Examples
Real Tenth Finder analyses, anonymized
Below are anonymized examples of what Tenth Finder shows when racers upload a real MyChron session. No names, no track-day footage — just the kind of clear, corner-level read you would get from your own session.
Examples are anonymized. Numbers shown are from real MyChron reports.
Lap comparison: 0.874s gap
Anonymized LO206 club session. Driver names removed.
A reference driver's best lap was 47.476s. A student driver's best lap was 48.350s — a 0.874s gap. The interesting part was where the time actually went, which the stopwatch does not tell you.

Gap
0.874s
The student was already fast enough on entry. The lap was lost by waiting too long before committing to throttle on exit — especially in Turn 7 and Turn 2.
Top gains
Turn 7
~0.25s
Same 38 km/h minimum speed, but student exits 4 km/h slower.
Turn 2
~0.20s
Student enters 1 km/h faster but exits 2 km/h slower.
Turn 4
~0.15s
Same entry speed, but student exits 2 km/h slower (hairpin rotation).
Why comparison matters
Without comparison, Turn 8 looked like a problem because the student arrived 7 km/h slower. The report traced that back to Turn 7 exit speed. Fixing the earlier corner improves the next one automatically.
Driver cue
“Throttle when the steering starts to unwind — not after the wheel is straight.”
Worth noting: the student matched the reference driver on top speed (71.9 vs 72.3 km/h) and showed consistent lap times — laps 7 and 8 were within 0.016s. The issue was not engine, not straight-line speed, and not general commitment. It was a specific throttle pattern on exit.
2-stroke session: 39.706s best lap
Anonymized 2-stroke (KA100/X30) session at a shorter Goodwood layout.
A 2-stroke session looks different from a 4-stroke one in the data: higher top speeds, sharper braking, and a much smaller window between “just right” and “binding on exit”. This driver was strong on the straights but losing time in the slow technical section.

Laps

Max speed

Main issue
Excessive speed scrub through the slow/medium complex (T3–T6) — over-braking into entries, then sluggish throttle pickup on exits.
Top losses
Turn 3 (slow)
~0.4s
Entry over-braked to 35 km/h min, exit only 39 km/h — kart binding on throttle pickup.
Turn 6 (slow)
~0.3s
Min 40 km/h, exit only 44 km/h — same pattern: speed scrubbed on entry, exit acceleration delayed.
Turn 2 (medium)
~0.2s
Entry 66 → min 54 → exit 57 km/h — large entry loss not recovered on exit.
If you fix only one thing — Turn 3
Carry 3–4 km/h more minimum speed by braking slightly earlier but lighter, then wait for the kart to rotate before rolling onto throttle progressively.
Expected gain: ~0.4s (roughly 40% of identified potential)
What you're doing well
- Strong top-end commitment: 101.6 km/h on the main straight with clean deceleration into T1.
- Lap 3 improved over Lap 2 by 0.95s — actively finding time within the session.
- T7 exit acceleration is progressive and repeatable across both timed laps.
Driver cue
“In a 2-stroke, the RPM crash is the cost. Pick up throttle as the kart starts to rotate, not after it has settled.”
The pattern Tenth Finder flagged — over-braking entries, then sluggish throttle pickup on exits — is something a 2-stroke punishes harder than a 4-stroke because the RPM crash is steeper. The Focus First fix targets Turn 3 alone for roughly 40% of the identified gain.
LO206 single-corner deep dive: Turn 4
Same anonymized LO206 driver, zoomed into one corner.
Sometimes a single corner explains most of the lap. In one LO206 session, Turn 4 (a hairpin) was flagged as the biggest single-corner exit loss, repeated across every lap. The data is detailed enough to show why — engine loading at low RPM while speed builds slowly, the classic LO206 binding signature.

What the data shows
Speed loss of 22 km/h from entry to minimum is the largest of any corner. Exit at 41 km/h is 13 km/h below entry — the kart is not recovering speed. RPM data shows engine loading (3800–3900 RPM) while speed builds slowly over ~1.5s, a classic LO206 binding signature.
Fix to try
Move the braking point 1–2 kart-lengths earlier and use a longer, lighter brake. Let the kart rotate on trail brakes before touching throttle, then roll on smoothly as you unwind the wheel — do not stab it at the apex.
Driver cue
“Feel the kart rotate under your foot off the brake before your right foot moves. If the steering still has lock when you add throttle, you are too early.”
The fix in the report is concrete: brake 1–2 kart-lengths earlier, trail-brake to keep the rear light through the apex, then roll onto throttle as the wheel unwinds. Expected gain: ~0.20–0.25s on this corner alone.
What these examples have in common
In each case the report does the same thing: rank the biggest losses, explain what the data suggests is causing them, and give one driver-friendly cue to try next session. None of it promises a guaranteed lap-time gain.
The same workflow applies across MyChron 5, 5S, and 6, and across most karting classes — Rotax, X30, KA100, OK, KZ, shifter, LO206, and club / rental events where MyChron is used.
