Guide & Legend

📊 What Am I Looking At?

Each sculpture is a 3D visualization of a driver's fastest lap, where:

  • X/Y Plane: The actual track layout
  • Height (Z-axis): Combined G-force magnitude
  • Color: G-force intensity

Higher peaks = More G-force experienced by the driver

🎨 G-Force Color Legend

Green: Low G (0-2G) - Straights, light corners
Yellow/Orange: Medium G (2-4G) - Heavy braking, fast corners
Red: High G (4G+) - Extreme braking, chicanes

Longitudinal G: Forward/backward forces (acceleration & braking)

Lateral G: Side-to-side forces (cornering)

Combined G: Total G-force magnitude

🎮 Camera Controls

✨ Interactive Features

Click on Ribbons: View detailed telemetry data at that point

Multi-Select: Compare up to 5 drivers side-by-side
Team Colors: Each driver's sculpture uses their team colors

💡 Pro Tips

  • Qualifying sessions have the cleanest data (push laps)
  • Street circuits (Monaco, Singapore) show dramatic G-forces
  • First load takes 30-60s, subsequent loads are instant
  • Click on high red peaks to see extreme braking zones
