Chase the lap
worth chasing
A reference lap is any lap you want to beat — your PB, a teammate's quali run, the club record. SimGains lays yours over it and shows the gap building through every metre.

The overlay
Aligned by position, not time
Every recorded lap stores full-rate inputs — brake, throttle, steering and line. Pick a reference and the overlay aligns both laps by track position, so the comparison stays honest through traffic and mistakes.
- Any lap can be the reference — PB, teammate, club record
- Full-rate input traces under the delta
- Honest through traffic, offs and aborted laps
Reading the delta
Watch where the climb starts
Flat means you're matching the reference; climbing means the gap is growing. The mistake is almost always earlier than where you feel it — a climb into the braking zone means you braked early, a climb at apex means you scrubbed entry speed, a climb on exit means lazy throttle.
- Climb into braking — you braked early or soft
- Climb at apex — entry speed scrubbed
- Climb on exit — lazy throttle or compromised line
Corner ranking
Fix the expensive corners first
Most drivers lose the bulk of their gap in two or three corners, not everywhere at once. The corner-delta list ranks every corner by time lost against the reference, so your next session has a plan before you leave the pits.
One reference,whole club chasing
On SimGains Pro, clubs pin shared reference laps per track and car. Every driver overlays the same target — and the board shows who's closing.
