What is the Lap99 Calculation?
The Lap99 calculation is a specialized feature integrated into the LITPro system. Its primary purpose is to determine a rider's optimal lap time based on their best-performing segments during a riding session. To understand this calculation better, let's break it down:
-
Segment Analysis: During a riding session, a rider completes multiple laps on the track. Each lap is further divided into various segments, representing different sections or portions of the course.
-
Fastest Segment Times: Within each lap, the rider's performance for each segment is recorded. LITPro meticulously analyzes these segments and identifies the fastest time achieved by the rider in each one.
-
Lap99 Time Calculation: The Lap99 feature takes these fastest segment times and combines them to calculate the Lap99 time. This Lap99 time represents the theoretical fastest lap that the rider could have achieved if they had performed optimally in every segment during the same lap.
Why is the Lap99 Calculation Useful?
The Lap99 calculation holds significant value for motocross and supercross riders for several reasons:
-
Performance Benchmark: It provides riders with a benchmark for their potential performance. By knowing the Lap99 time, riders gain insight into what they are capable of achieving when they ride at their absolute best in each segment.
-
Identifying Weak Points: Riders can use the Lap99 calculation to identify specific segments where they may be losing valuable time. Recognizing these weaknesses enables riders to focus their training and improvement efforts strategically.
-
Goal Setting: Setting a goal based on the Lap99 time can motivate riders to continually push their limits and strive for their best possible performance.
-
Performance Progress Tracking: As riders train and improve their skills, they can monitor their progress by comparing their actual lap times to the Lap99 benchmark.
