Track Statistics

[Harry]

Dear friends of LapTimer,

This is an automated report on the use of Harry's LapTimer Online use. The reports show the ranking of international track configurations(!) by number of laps timed and by number of km (convert to milage by multiplying with 0.62) performed. Please note these stats reflect laps submitted to hall of fame only. This means all laps recorded with iPods, or iPhones with cellular data turned off are not included. Neither laps performed with Online Reporting set to Never are included.

Hope you like it - tight race between Laguna Seca and Thunderhill!

How about the time spent on each course? ;-)

That will pretty much co-relate with the second chart showing the mileage. "Pretty much" because average speeds will have an impact here.

Quite some traffic during the last 6 month… Actually distance recorded with LapTimer between April ’13 and November ’13 is the same as the distance recorded between begin of our online history sometimes in 2010 and April ’13! Or in other words, the data has been doubled in the last 6 month! I’d call this “extreme progress”

Like in April 2013 report, Laguna Seca Raceway and Nordschleife BTG are the tracks with Harry’s LapTimer used most often. Congratulation to the winners! VIR stepped up from rank #3 to #2 in both the laps and distance statistics - well done.

Apart from the 'ring and Hockenheim, there seems to be under repsresentation of Europe circuits!
Is the last 6 months due to Android HLT coming on line?

Well, LapTimer has 180 North American track sets, while it has 212 for Europe. On the other hand, the total LapTimer share of North America is 20% bigger compared to that of Europe. This will contribute to the NA focussed top 20 list. I need to add that not all tracks go into the statistics as only those that meet high quality measures are counted (if e.g. a track's length is unknown, LapTimer cannot verify laps reported are valid and will not count that tracks). Android does not yet contribute a lot to LapTimer, I assume that will change when the Petrolhead edition gets available.
