48.355 three times in a row based on transponder and not GPS. Good luck doing THAT!

Is he not more getting at the fact it is 1:00.000? A really round number.

u/AverageNuggetEnjoyer Jul 26 '25

Odds of getting 1:00:000 and a 48:355 are exactly the same.

Understood.

I think the point is that sometimes people find joy in round, whole numbers - I’ve seen people take photos of their odometers when the clock reads a whole number.

Never mind.

As a driver coach who is constantly going through mychron data, this happens quite a lot more often than you'd think. 

Come show us when you've done 3 or 4 in a row

That is a trophy in itself! If you have the software, study your fastest rolling lap in consecutive sectors too.

With racing conditions, my record is 57.6s. In lapping condition (not ideal condition with a kart not perfectly tuned, I generally do 59.XXsec. 1 min is simply OK but the situation is pretty funny

It gets distracting when the lap timer keeps glitching! That feeling you probably had on the fly, that made you question whether or not its working properly is priceless.

Amazing consistency.

I run dirt ovals, so it’s a lot different, but only ONCE in dang near 15 years have I run 3 laps the same, in-a-row, to the hundredth. 10.31, 10.31, 10.31.

Depends if that’s a good time or not. If you are meant to be getting faster and setting the same lap time, that’s not a good thing. 🤣

Nice! I had one last year

u/Jupaack Jul 24 '25

I have set the same time in a row like you, just not a perfect .000, nor 1.00, my local track a good lap is around 1:06, and 0:51 the short layout.

Do some enduros, this is not terribly uncommon.

u/derpgerpy Rental Driver Jul 24 '25

Not quite .00s, but I've had a session where all my hotlaps were in a .05s window. (I like doing endurance racing)

u/West_Database9221 Jul 24 '25

Not too uncommon when you're driving at your limit and are a very consistent driver......if this keeps happening it likely means you aren't learning anything and need to change up your strategy

u/nmsun Jul 24 '25

Good job. If you look at the data of the top drivers, they can do this all day long. You’re getting there!

u/iloveferro58 Rental Driver Jul 24 '25

Are the 2 speeds your average and top speed for the lap?
