From Data to –0.4 s at Spa with Telemetry Copilot

How Telemetry Copilot helped a driver find nearly 0.35 s at Spa—after just one session

What Telemetry Copilot is

An AI assistant that ingests raw channels (speed, brake, throttle, steering, GPS, damper, etc.) and, in < 60 s, returns a corner-by-corner report: headline time-loss, root cause, and concrete driving/setup actions.

What happened at Spa (FP1)

Copilot flagged two corners worth a combined 0.343 s.
Because the same brake-release and throttle-pick-up pattern appeared lap after lap, Copilot showed the time-loss was a repeatable habit—not a one-off error.

• Turn 1 (–0.123 s) – Brake released too gently; weight stayed on the nose, rotation delayed, throttle pick-up late.
• Turn 5 (–0.220 s) – Heavy initial stop was good, but brake pressure held > 30 bar past the apex; front never freed, throttle re-applied 0.14 s later.

Recommended actions (from the report)

1. Shorten the stop with a firmer initial hit, then release sooner to let the car rotate.
2. Use one decisive steering input during trail-brake to settle the front.
3. Commit to progressive throttle the moment rotation starts.

Result

Next run – total gain of –0.432 s.
Cleaning up T1 and T5 tightened the driver’s overall technique, and the better brake-release rhythm carried into the other corners as well.
