RaceTools 3.2 adds extra fields to the Session Results table and Heat Map color coding of section times. This is an optional upgrade for INDYCAR users but a recommended upgrade for IMSA users.
Custom Fields in Session Results table:
To bring more information to the main program window, I’m adding some custom fields that you can manually enter into the column field by using the Insert Column or Edit Column options. I consider these ‘works in progress’, but you will be able to add:
1. Section Times/Speeds by entering the section name. If the field is defined as a speed trap, then it will be displayed as SPEED. Otherwise it will be displayed as time.
2. Best Lap Section Times by entering ‘BL_’+
3. Best Splits Section Time by entering ‘BS_’+
4. Best Lap Section Time Delta by entering ‘BLD_’+
5. Best Splits Section Time Delta by entering ‘BSD_’+
6. Previous Rank by entering ‘PR’. This will display the competitor’s rank at the last S/F crossing and is used to highlight improvements (P column green) or decline (P column red) in position.
Heat Map:
To make it easier to identify faster/slower section times, the Section Time Delta fields defined above are color coded when the ‘Heat Map’ option is enabled. The colors below are subject to change as this is my first pass at this feature.
