What this page covers

The day-review page is where you sit down after a track day and ask "did I get faster, and what should I work on next time?" This guide walks through every section of the page so you know what each card is telling you, where the numbers come from, and what to do with them.

On this page

Opening the day review

Open #day in the app to land on your most recent day with data. If you uploaded a session three weeks ago and haven't been back to the track since, that's the day you'll see — landing on today would just show an empty page, and we want the page to be useful the moment it loads.

If you have a specific day in mind, open #day/{date}, for example #day/2026-05-09. You can also use the picker at the top of the page:

  • A recent-days list of up to ten days you've actually ridden, newest first. Each row shows the date, the track, the bike, the session count, and your best lap.
  • Prev and Next arrows that step across days you actually rode, not across blank calendar days. Skipping straight from one weekend to the next is the common case.
  • A "Pick another date" disclosure with a calendar input plus Today and Yesterday quick buttons for the cases the recent list does not cover.

When you have never uploaded a session, the page shows a short welcome panel with a link to the uploader instead of an empty wins banner. Sync your first session and the day review fills in for that date automatically.

The header

The top of the page tells you, in one line, which day you are looking at, where you rode, what you rode, and how many sessions you ran. A typical header reads:

Saturday, May 9 — Ridge Motorsports Park — Yamaha R6 — 4 sessions

A few special cases:

  • Mixed bikes appears in the bike slot when you rode more than one bike class on the same day. The headline arc (wins banner, arc card) is then scoped to your primary bike class and a small "On other bikes" stack carries the secondaries — see Multi-bike days.
  • Two tracks (or a higher count) appears in the track slot when you rode at more than one circuit on the same calendar day. The arc, warm-up, and cross-day cards are then replaced with one panel per track — see Multi-track days.

Wins banner

The wins banner sits directly under the header. It is the same "wins first" idea you see on the paddock debrief, scoped to the full day:

  • Best lap of the day and which session it came from, for example: Best lap of the day: 1:42.90 (session 3).
  • First-to-last arc — if your last session's best lap was meaningfully faster than your first, you'll see something like You dropped 1.20s from your first session's best to your last. If your last session was slower by a meaningful margin, the line flips to Your last session's best was 0.45s slower than your first — worth checking the conditions and your fatigue trend. Deltas inside 50 ms either way are treated as noise and the line drops out.
  • Range across the day — the spread between your slowest and fastest session bests, for example Range across the day: 0.85s between your slowest and fastest session bests.

If no session had a timed lap (sighting laps only, or a cancelled day), the banner says so plainly and the other cards drop out.

Arc narrative shapes

When the day had at least three timed sessions and the spread between your slowest and fastest session best is large enough to be real (more than 0.10s), the page adds a typed arc-narrative card under the wins banner. The card tells you what shape the day took. There are five shapes and you'll see one of them:

  • Steady improvement — every session matched or beat the one before, with each session contributing to the total drop. "Even improvement across 4 sessions — you found 1.20s between your slowest and fastest session bests, with each session contributing. Keep the same approach into your next day."
  • Front-loaded gain — most of the day's improvement showed up in the first half and the later sessions held the new pace. The copy leads with the session where it clicked, so you can recognise what you did that made the difference.
  • Late breakthrough — a flatter start followed by a fast last session. The copy points you at what you tried in the final session as the lever to take into the next day.
  • Uneven curve — you finished faster than you started, but the curve wandered. "Net improvement across 4 sessions but the curve was uneven — the pace is in you, stringing it together cleanly is the next step."
  • Best lap came earlier — your best lap landed in an early or middle session and the last session was meaningfully slower. Non-blame framing: check the conditions, your fatigue, or whether you backed off after a moment.

A small column chart sits under the headline showing your per-session best laps so the shape claim is anchored in numbers. The bar for the session where the biggest drop landed is highlighted so your eye goes there first.

Warm-up adaptation

The "Warm-up adaptation" card answers a different question from the arc card: how fast did you reach your session pace each time you went out?

  • Warm-up adaptation appears when the gap between your first flying lap and your session pace shrank across the day. "You reached pace faster as the day went on — your first flying lap was within 0.60s of session pace by the last session, down from 2.40s in session 1." Reaching pace sooner is a sign that what you worked on earlier is sticking.
  • Warm-up gap grew appears when the gap grew across the day. The card does not assign blame — it nudges you to check tyre temps, your warm-up routine, or fatigue rather than treating the trend as a verdict.

The card stays silent on single-session days, on days where fewer than two sessions had both inputs, and on days where the change across sessions stayed inside the noise floor.

Cross-day signals

Below the warm-up card you'll sometimes see one of three cross-day signal cards. Only one fires per day — they describe different stories and we suppress whichever ones don't apply.

Fatigue

Fires when your jerk (how sharply your inputs change), pace, repeated per-session fatigue, or fatigue-correlated issues escalated as the day went on. Fatigue is physiological. The recommendation is usually rest, hydration, or fitness work between track days — not a technique change.

Plateau

Fires when every session held a flat pace arc and your first-to-last session best stayed within roughly 1%. Plateau is not fatigue. "Three sessions of consistent practice with the same pace each time. To break through, change one variable next session." Pick one thing — a different brake reference, an earlier turn-in, a different gear in one corner — and try it the next time you're out.

Pressure response

Fires when at least one Practice session showed pace improving by 1% or more and a later Qualifying or Race session lost that pace by 1% or more. The card carries a short factual breakdown of which sessions were involved, for example: Practice (S1, S2) → Qualifying (S3). "You were finding speed in practice but lost it in qualifying. Pressure pulled you off-pattern; rebuild the rhythm you had earlier." The fix is mental: ride the rhythm you already proved, don't reach for more.

Patterns across the day

The "Patterns across the day" panel lists the corners or zones where the same problem came up in more than one session. Each row looks like T3: in 3 of 4 sessions — Braking too hard.

A problem in one session could be traffic, a mistake, or a moment of distraction. A problem in most of your sessions is a real habit you can practise. That's why this panel only surfaces issues that landed more than once. The panel hides itself entirely when the rollup found nothing worth flagging — silence is the correct rendering, not "no patterns to report."

A "Why this matters" disclosure at the top of the panel restates this rule in one paragraph so the framing is one click away.

What's working

"What's working" is the mirror of patterns across the day. It lists corners or zones where the same strength landed in more than one session — for example T5: in 3 of 4 sessions — Strong braking control. Each row reads as a small win to bank.

The "persistence over appearance" rule matters here too: a great corner that landed once is less notable than one you handled the same way in every session. The repeated ones are the things you've actually learned.

Skill snapshot

The skill snapshot tiles show the day-level skill components the rollup computed for you. The tiles you may see are:

  • Trail braking — how well your braking carries into the turn instead of stopping at turn-in.
  • Grip use — how much of the available tyre grip your laps used.
  • Brake finesse — how smooth your brake releases were.
  • Consistency — how repeatable your laps were across the day.
  • Smoothness — how composed your inputs were (less spiky, less choppy).

Each tile is a percent from 0 to 100. Tiles drop out when the rollup didn't compute a particular component — a partial day is allowed to render the dimensions it has rather than invent zeros.

Next focus

The "Next focus" card is the one thing the page wants you to take to your next session.

  • The primary recommendation names the element (a turn, a complex, or a zone), the reason it was picked, and a Try next time line you can screenshot or write down.
  • Evidence and confidence sit at the bottom of the card, for example 2 of 3 sessions, 0.25s/lap on the table · Confidence: Medium. The confidence label tells you how sure the system is. High means the pattern is clear; Medium means the pattern is real but with caveats; Medium (with caveats) means take it as a lead, not a verdict.
  • Also worth a look is a collapsible disclosure with up to three secondary items. On a deep-dive day this opens by default; otherwise it stays collapsed so your eye lands on the primary first.

The card uses the most persistent issue from your day, not the most recent one. A single bad session does not drive the recommendation. This pick feeds forward into the next time you open the track briefing for this circuit, so the same focus item carries through into your next track day.

Session list

The "Sessions" panel at the bottom of the page lists your sessions in chronological order. Each row carries:

  • Session ordinal and start time, for example Session 3 · 14:32.
  • A session-type chip — Practice, Qualifying, or Race — when the type was detected.
  • A bike-assignment chip — A for your assigned bike, L for a loaner. Unassigned drops the chip entirely rather than guessing.
  • An AM or PM tag parsed from your local session time.
  • Best lap for the session, on-pace lap count of the total laps, and the bike class.

Each row is a link. Click any session to drop straight into the per-session paddock debrief for that ride. The day review is the survey; the paddock debrief is the deep dive.

On multi-track days each row also shows the track name. On single-track days the track is suppressed because the page header already names it.

Multi-bike days

If you rode more than one bike class on the same day (Supersport in the morning, Lightweight in the afternoon, for example), comparing lap times across the two classes is not physically meaningful. The page handles this by:

  1. Scoping the wins banner and the arc narrative to your primary bike class — the class with the most sessions, with the day's overall best lap as a tie-breaker.
  2. Rendering an On other bikes stack of compact cards just under the wins banner, one per additional class, each with that bike's session count and best lap.

A small chip next to each card heading names the bike class, so you can tell at a glance which arc belongs to which bike.

Multi-track days

Riding at two different circuits on the same calendar day is rare, but it happens (an OEM media day, for example, with a morning session at one venue and an afternoon at another). When it happens, cross-track lap-time comparisons are meaningless, so the page:

  1. Suppresses the top-level arc, arc narrative, warm-up, and cross-day signal cards.
  2. Renders one track panel per circuit with that track's scoped versions of those cards.
  3. Keeps the patterns, strengths, skill snapshot, next-focus, and session list panels at the top level — those still make sense across tracks because they speak to technique, not pace.

Processing states

Some panels read from the day rollup, which runs after your sessions have synced. When the rollup is still working, the affected card shows a soft Still computing — check back row instead of disappearing. You'll see this most often a few minutes after your last session of the day finishes uploading. Refresh the page after the rollup catches up and the card fills in.

Panels with no signal to render (a flat day with no arc shape, a quiet day with no cross-day signal) stay silent rather than rendering a "no signal" placeholder.

Signed-out path

If your session expires while you have the page open, the day review shows a "Sign in to see your day review" panel with a single sign-in button. Click it, sign back in, and you'll land straight back here. We do not surface raw HTTP status codes on this surface — if anything goes wrong, the page either says what to do next or shows a short, plain error message.
