Column glossary

A cross-panel reference for the columns you'll see in Leaderboard, Laps, Pits and Stints, Overtake, Fastest Laps, and the other data-grid panels - what each one means and how to read its highlighting. See each panel page for the full column list specific to it; this page covers the meanings and conventions shared across more than one.

Color conventions​

  • Purple - class best (the fastest value for this column among cars in the same class)
  • Green - the car's own best (this value beats that car's previous best)
  • Sparkline "Trend" columns (± to Green in Overtake) - blue = faster than the class's Green Lap Time, orange = slower, gray = a pit in/out lap, excluded from the calculation
  • Fastest Laps' Show Deltas to Hero heat map - green shading, deeper the bigger the gap, on sectors where a car beats the hero; cells equal to or slower than the hero aren't shaded

Position and identity​

  • P - overall position
  • CP - class position
  • C - car number
  • Class, Grp - car class and, where a series has one, class group
  • Veh - vehicle/manufacturer
  • Lic - driver's license rating
  • Stat - car status (running, in the pits, stopped, and so on)

Gaps and intervals​

Computed client-side from lap-crossing epochs (P1.GapData), not passed through from AKS V2's own gap fields - those degrade to a bare lap count as soon as a car is a lap down, exactly when the gap matters most. See Compare for why "authoritative rather than calculated" data matters here.

  • Int - on-track time interval to the car directly ahead
  • Gap - on-track time gap to the leader of the displayed set (not necessarily the overall leader, if the grid is filtered to a class)
  • ±Gap - signed time gap to the hero car: − ahead of the hero, + behind. Used in Leaderboard, Overtake, and the Hero Gap Chart (whose chart axis is inverted so "ahead" still draws visually higher, even though the underlying stored value is negative).
  • A car that's off track - in the pits or stopped - shows a status icon instead of a number in Int, Gap, and ±Gap, rather than a stale or misleading value.

Lap and sector times​

  • Last Lap Tm - the most recently completed lap time
  • Best Lap Tm - the car's fastest lap time this session; purple if it's also the class's fastest
  • Theor Tm - the car's theoretical best lap: the sum of its own best individual sector times, a lap it has never actually driven but could. Purple when it's the class's best theoretical.
  • Est Tm - the projected time for the lap currently in progress: sectors already completed this lap, plus the car's best-lap sectors for the parts not yet run. Green when it would beat the car's own best lap.
  • Per-track Sector (S1, S2, …) and Micro-Sector columns - purple when a sector time is the class's fastest, green when it's the car's own fastest; a sector's time also counts toward that car's Theor Tm when it's the car's personal-best for that sector
  • Trap / Best Trap - current lap's trap (speed-trap) speed, and the car's best trap speed this session; purple = class's fastest, green = car's own fastest
  • TL - track limits flag on that lap

Pit and stint columns​

  • #P - number of pit stops so far
  • Pit In / Pit Out - time of the car's most recent pit-in / pit-out
  • P Ln - time spent in pit lane, ticking up live while the car is in and freezing once it's back on track
  • L Stnt - laps completed in the current stint
  • In Lap - the lap number the car last pitted on
  • L-1 / L (Pits and Stints) - laps in the previous stint / laps in the current stint

Pace and prediction​

Used in Overtake:

  • Pace - the car's average lap time over the configured number of pace laps
  • ±Pace - how much faster (▲, bad for the hero) or slower (▼, good for the hero) a car's pace is, compared to the hero's own pace
  • +ETA (h:m:s) - a naive prediction of when an overtake happens, based on the current pace trend: for a car ahead, when the hero catches it if it's slower; for a car behind, when it catches the hero if it's faster
  • ± to Green - a sparkline trend relative to the class's configured Green Lap Time (see Pits and Stints settings); see the color conventions above

More detail per panel​

This page covers what's shared. For the columns unique to one panel - like Fastest Laps' Show Deltas to Hero mode or Track Order's optional rows - see that panel's own page.
