A Practical Guide to Race Car Data Analysis | |
A Practical Guide to Race Car Data Analysis was written for the amateur and lower-level professional racers who either have a data system in their cars or who may be thinking about installing one but who do not have access to an experienced data engineer. Many of the data systems available today at reasonable prices offer capabilities that only professional race teams could afford just a few years ago. Unfortunately, most of these racers do not know how to use more than a small part of those capabilities. Using real track data, numerous real-world examples, and more than 200 illustrations, the Guide gives them the knowledge and skills they need to select, configure and use their data systems efficiently and effectively. Beginning with a detailed discussion of the things racers need to know about the hardware and software necessary for a an effective data system, the Guide continues with chapters on basic data analysis tools, more sophisticated data analysis tools like x-y plots and math channels, damper potentiometers and the wealth of important data they produce, brake and clutch pressure sensors, and creative use of math channels. The Guide concludes with a comprehensive scheme for analyzing data, examples of the data views used with the scheme, and detailed information on how to create and configure the data views.

I purchased this book on recommendation of a very successful and experienced race engineer. It is geared toward the beginner to somewhat experienced data analysis technician, but there is enough quality information to be useful to even experienced and professional data engineers. The book is well-illustrated and gives many clear, concise examples to improve understanding of concepts.
Easy to read, simple to understand, immediate to apply.
The topic isn't simple to explain, nonetheless the author has done a wonderful job taking the reader through all the main topics using as example the most common data logging softwares. You'll want to read it more than once and use it as a quick reference guide too.
One of the best so far. Easy to read and a lot of questions answered and explained very clearly. Real life data, reasons, solutions, options , tips, etc,....
Perfect for first timers , drivers or like me, technicians who run and prep cars on there own.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Practical Guide to Race Car Data Analysis by Bob Knox. The author does a great job breaking down data, such as, determining car health, diagnosing handling issues (whether set up issues or driver induced), and driver characteristics. Real examples with color and annotated figures are provided throughout the book. A reasonable number of clearly explained math formulas are also included. In fact, the author provides these math channels in the formats native to a number of data systems (AIM, MoTec, Pi, and STACK). If you don't own one of these data systems, that's ok as the formulas are clearly written so they can be written in applicable formats for other data systems.
Two particular strengths of this book are the discussions on damper potentiometers and some recommended templates for interpreting data. The topic of damper potentiometers isn't covered in many of the books I have found. The author spends an entire chapter (around 25-30 pages) on interpreting damper data: displacement plots (are the dampers hitting their bumpstops), velocity histograms, ride frequency, roll/pitch, determining downforce, and test methods to generate aero maps. The only other book that I have found which covers this material in any significant detail is the book by Jorge Segers. Jorge's books is quite mathematical and likely has a different target audience.
Bob Knox's book also includes some standardized templates for interpreting data. He suggests how to organize x-y plots, time/distance graphs, etc into logical groups. For instance, an example of a pressure report shows how a page could be organized to show x-y plots of lateral acceleration vs. oil pressure, longitudinal acceleration vs. oil pressure, lateral acceleration vs. fuel pressure, track maps, as well as min/max/average tables on a single page so trends can be quickly determined yet have details immediately available. In addition, a detailed data analysis outline is provided which will give the reader a list of things to look for whenever a new set of data is acquired.
There are around half a dozen books currently available on race car data acquisition. I have read nearly all of them and the three in particular that I and would recommend are:
1) This book, which is a great introductory to medium level book on the topic.
2) Competition Car Data Logging Manual by Graham Templeman: Another introductory to medium level book with lots of great examples and color plots. Dampers aren't really covered.
3) Analysis Techniques for Racecar Data Acquisition by Jorge Segers: Another great book with LOTS of details and formulas targeted more towards engineers. Great details, including formula derivations, are provided.
I have yet to read Making Sense of Squiggly Lines by Christopher Brown. That is next on my reading list.
The complete resource for those wanting to learn how to use data acquisition in racing. I recommend it to anyone who asks me for info on data acquisition in racing. I often refer to my copy, great resource book for those experienced in the use of data for tuning both the driver and the car.
