Stats and exports
What every number on the Stats page means, and the columns in each CSV export. For the tour of the page, see the Race Stats guide.
Free race heats appear in none of this — practice and exhibition runs are excluded from every number on the page and every export.
The Stats page, number by number
Overview cards
- Scoring — the race's scoring method.
- Racers — total registered racers.
- Heats Completed — heats run out of heats scheduled.
Lane fairness
Real tracks have slightly faster and slower lanes. The chart shows each lane's average against the overall average — blue bars above the line are faster than average, gold below are slower — and the table gives each lane's average time, heat count, and percentage difference.
A difference under 1% is completely normal. Bigger is worth noting for track maintenance. The numbers mean most after a full everyone-in-every-lane round, where every car has run every lane.
Per-racer stats
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| # | Car number |
| Heats | Heats completed |
| Min | Their single fastest time |
| Avg | Average across the heats they ran. A car that never finished a heat counts 9.999 s for it. Note this table counts every heat, where the standings cover the qualifying rounds only |
| Max | Their single slowest time |
| Std Dev | How consistent their times were — low is consistent. "—" until a racer has two heats |
Top moments
- Fastest Heat — the single quickest time of the event, and whose it was. When the track has scale speed turned on, a "Top scale speed" line underneath converts that time into a rough real-world MPH.
- Closest Race — the heat with the smallest gap between first and last.
Den comparison
Each den's average score as a bar in the den's colour, with racer count and the den's best performer in the table.
The track record
The fastest cars a track has ever seen — across every race run on it, not just today's. The rules:
- One entry per car, at its single best run. The list is the five fastest cars, not the five fastest runs, or one good car would fill it.
- Only real results count: official heats with a recorded time. A free race heat is an exhibition run, and a car that started but never finished has no time to enter.
- A record is worked out fresh on every look, never stored — the same rule as the standings. Correcting a time moves the record, and deleting a race removes the records it set, along with the results themselves.
- Each entry names the race that set it. Entries from today's event are marked, which is how the page can say a record was just broken.
- Records from before Trusty Track can be entered by hand — on the track's card in Settings, under Track records from past years. They compete exactly as typed: a 2019 record at 2.89 seconds heads the board until a recorded 2.88 beats it. Hand-entered records are the one kind that is stored rather than worked out, because there is nothing in the app to work them out from — and the only kind you can edit or remove.
- Breaking the record is announced on the audience displays — a gold banner on the projector's results overlay and the timing view. It fires only for a run that beats the record as it stood before today's race: earlier races on the track, plus any hand-entered records. A first event with no history celebrates nothing (there is nothing to beat), equalling the record is not breaking it, and an exhibition run never fires it — a free race heat cannot hold a record, so it cannot break one.
- The record belongs to the track, so a race with no track has none — and times from the fake timer are made up, so a track that ran on it holds made-up records. The practice race uses a track of its own, which keeps rehearsal times off your real track's list.
The CSV exports
All three open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet.
Heat results (Stats page)
One row per lane in every completed heat — the complete record of the event.
Round, Heat #, Global Heat #, Lane, Car #, First Name, Last Name, Time (s), Place
Racer stats (Stats page)
One row per racer, with the same numbers as the per-racer table.
Car #, First Name, Last Name, Den, Heats, Min (s), Avg (s), Max (s), Std Dev
Standings (Standings page)
Export CSV beside the round selector. The file holds whatever the page is showing: exporting a championship round gives that round's results, not the overall ones.
Rank, Car #, First Name, Last Name, Den, Average Time (s) or Points, Heats
The score column is named for the race's scoring method.
