Traces

See where the lap actually went

Traces reads the telemetry Gran Turismo 7 broadcasts on your network and turns it into the picture a driver needs: the delta against your reference lap, where you braked, where you coasted, and what that cost.

What it does

Traces, in full

timeline

Time delta against a reference lap

Under the line is quicker, over it is slower, so a lap is read at a glance instead of by squinting at split times.

route

The racing line, drawn

Your line with throttle, braking and coasting coloured along it, next to the reference lap's.

speed

Speed, throttle, brake, coast

Each against distance, so two laps line up at the same corner rather than the same moment.

Fuel map help

What a fuel setting does to your pace and range, for the stint you are actually driving.

fitness_center

Practice drills

Braking, throttle and steering drills with a target trace and a score, for the inputs that are hard to feel.

history

A library of your sessions

Recorded laps kept with the car, track and conditions, so a good lap can be found again.

Getting started

Three steps

  1. 1

    Turn on telemetry

    GT7 broadcasts it on your network already; Traces listens for it.

  2. 2

    Park the car on track

    It finds the console by itself and starts reading.

  3. 3

    Drive

    Every lap is drawn as you finish it, against whichever lap you set as the reference.
