How To Compare Your Lap Against a Pro Esports Driver In F1 26

Inside both our F1 telemetry platform, and our real-time F1 26 overlays, you have the ability to compare your laps directly against Pro drivers. Williams Esports driver Istvan Puki has reference laps for every track in F1 26, giving you a direct comparison to use.

Comparing your laps against Pro driver post session with our F1 telemetry

The first, and most comprehensive way of comparing your own F1 26 laps directly against Pro F1 Esports drivers is by using our F1 telemetry platform. This platform lets you analyse every input both you and our pro driver made during a lap.

You can use this data to quickly analyse and view where you were faster or slower around any lap. On our lap telemetry page, you can see all of your inputs with Istvan’s inputs overlaid on top. You can also see Istvan’s racing line compared to your own, along with every braking point, minimum corner speed and more.

How to load a pro lap as a reference

When you are in our telemetry platform, head into any of your previous sessions, and then choose a specific lap to analyse. On the lap telemetry page you can choose a comparison lap in a few ways.

• From the sidebar leaderboard: In the left sidebar, you will see the top 10 leaderboard. Hover over our Pro drivers laptime and click “Compare” to add the pro lap as a comparison.
• From the compare module: We also have a dedicated “Compare Lap” button in the sidebar. Selecting this will pop up a comparison module. In this box, you can filter laps by the leaderboard, view all of your best laps, or view just Pro laps. Select the Pro laps tab, and then choose the pro lap to compare.

Either of the methods above will let you load Istvan’s Pro hot lap as a reference. It will then become visible in all charts and on our interactive track map.

Using AI insights to get feedback directly on where to improve compared to a Pro F1 Esports driver

With our Pro reference lap loaded, you can use our AI Coaching Insights for F1 26 to get quick analysis in all corners without having to manually analyse the lap. The coaching insights can be accessed by selecting any corner from the corner list in the left sidebar.

This AI coach can help save time by instantly highlighting key areas where you can improve. You can then delve into the data directly to further analyse the corner, or choose a different corner for more coaching insights.
