From .ibt to debrief in four steps
Everything between your last lap and your debrief: what to have ready before you upload, and what happens once you do.
Before you upload — two things to check
- Telemetry enabled in iRacing: Options → Drive → Auto-record telemetry
- You've driven at least one practice or qualifying session since enabling it
- Your
.ibtis in Documents → iRacing → telemetry — pick the most recent one - Optional — for a Benchmark Debrief: ask a faster driver for their
.ibttoo. Same track, same car, or the comparison is skipped and you get a solo report instead - It's their data, so ask first. We read their name from the file, reduce it to two letters, and keep no more than that — how we handle it

Is PitDelta an AI coach?
No. The practice analysis is computed from telemetry by encoded algorithms. The only AI-generated element currently shown is the engineer’s one-line remark — it is produced from the computed summary and can never select a zone, a number or the practice assignment. Raw telemetry is not sent to the language model, and PitDelta never uses your telemetry to train AI models.
How is PitDelta different from AI coaching tools?
PitDelta’s practice assignment is computed from telemetry by encoded rules and withheld when the evidence does not support it. It looks for what repeats across clean laps before it tells you what to change — not every difference becomes advice. And the analysis is reproducible: same telemetry, same comparison context and same engine build, same analysis.
What happens when the evidence is weak?
You get told, not coached. Weak, contradictory or poorly matched evidence is withheld or qualified rather than turned into confident coaching copy — the report says “Run more clean laps — signal too small to isolate a cause yet.” The gates are encoded engine behaviour, not editorial policy.
How does a crew room compare drivers?
PitDelta checks comparability before it compares pace. Sessions with the wrong car, track or configuration, or too few clean laps, are excluded. A build mismatch or unknown setup is shown as a caveat rather than hidden. The result is a crew debrief, not a public ranking — you learn from your crew, not from an anonymous leaderboard.

Vidmantas SakalysFounder, PitDelta
I'm Vidmantas Sakalys. PitDelta is me — one hardware engineer in Vilnius, building it since February 2026. I'm an engineer, not a quick driver, so PitDelta doesn't hand you my opinion: it measures your own laps and tells you where the time went. Every number is computed from your telemetry, not written by a model. Weekends I'm usually under a '78 Lincoln. I answer every support email myself.
