Forza Applied Tuning Lab
My personal journey through driving, tuning, learning, and applying the tools I’m building to improve performance lap by lap.
This section is where theory meets tarmac. I document what I learn as I apply telemetry analysis to actual driving and tuning in Forza Motorsport 7.
The Approach
Every session generates data. The goal is to close the loop:
- Drive - Record telemetry during practice or races
- Analyze - Review data to find patterns and problems
- Adjust - Make targeted setup changes based on evidence
- Validate - Measure whether changes improved performance
This isn’t about finding magic setups. It’s about understanding why a car behaves the way it does and making informed decisions rather than guessing.
What I’m Working On
Current focus:
- Learning to read tire temperature patterns
- Understanding suspension travel and its effect on grip
- Building intuition for correlating feel with data
Captured knowledge:
- 806 car specifications in the database
- 13+ recorded sessions for analysis
- Tuning guides being extracted into structured rules
Documentation Roadmap
| Topic | Status |
|---|---|
| Reading Tire Temperatures | Coming soon |
| Suspension Basics | Coming soon |
| Case Study: First Tune | Planned |
| Setup Parameter Reference | Planned |
Why Document This?
Sim racing knowledge is scattered across forums, YouTube videos, and tribal wisdom. By documenting my learning process with real telemetry data, I hope to create something more systematic and reproducible.
