The problem

Lap times say how slow.
Never where.

Every tenth you're missing gets paid for in tyres, test days and entry fees. A lap timer tells you that you were slow. It can't tell you which corner, or what to change before the next session.

A real session

Griffith.
26 laps. 0.464s.

Not a mock-up. This is Tasman's own session at Griffith Kart Club, run through the Fusion app exactly as yours would be, laid over the real aerial photo of the circuit. Lap 26 against his best, lap 12: +0.464s slower, and every corner accounted for.

Key features

What to change.
Not just how slow.

A lap timer tells you that you were slow. After every session the Fusion app tells you what to do about it: on the driving, on the kart, and against your mates. Everything below is real output from real sessions.

01

Driving advice

Fusion lines every lap up against your own best pass through each corner, finds the habits costing you time, and gives you the three changes worth the most, in plain language, with the numbers behind them.

  • Braking points, apex speed, turn-in and drive out of every corner
  • Steering smoothness and corrections from the logger's gyro
  • Consistency: where your laps vary, and by how much
CoachEastern Creek · 10 timed laps
  1. T11

    Carry more speed through T11 ~0.17s

    Your best passes were 4.0 km/h faster at the slowest point, so the grip is there. Ease off the brake earlier and let the speed roll in to the apex rather than slowing to a crawl.

    Minimum speed 70.8 km/h typically, 74.8 km/h on your best passes.

  2. #2

    Get up to speed sooner ~0.26s

    Your first two timed laps were 1.30s slower than the rest. Use the out-lap to load the tyres so the first flying lap counts.

    First two laps averaged 50.91s vs a typical 49.61s.

  3. T1

    Pick a brake marker for T1 ~0.12s

    Where you start slowing for T1 moves about ±10 m lap to lap. Choose a fixed reference and hit it every lap before trying to move it later.

    Braking point varies ±10.4 m across 10 laps.

02

Setup advice

The logger's motion sensor shows how the chassis is behaving: whether the inside rear is lifting cleanly, whether the front is biting, whether the rear is stepping out. Fusion reads it against your setup sheet and tells you what to change, in millimetres.

This TaG's own notes said “old tyres”. Fusion worked that out from the data alone.

SetupEastern Creek · TaG R
Inside wheel lift OK Steering: Smooth · 25°/s²

Low grip overall: peak cornering 1.49 g against roughly 1.8 g for this class, with smooth steering, so the tyres are probably not working.

  • Check hot pressures straight after the session: a slick should gain 2 to 3 psi from cold.
  • Gained under 2 psi: raise the cold pressure 0.5 psi so the carcass works and heats up.
  • Gained over 3 psi: drop it 0.5 to 1 psi. The tyre is overheating and sliding.

Grip comes from the tyre being in its temperature window. Smooth driving with low cornering load points at the tyres, not the chassis.

03

Lap comparison

Put any lap against any other and see the gap corner by corner: where it was won or lost, the speeds through each one, and whether it was the braking, the apex or the drive out.

  • The gap through every corner adds up to the lap time
  • Entry, apex and exit speeds side by side
  • An ideal lap built from your best corners

Tasman Reedie racing kart number 7, a blue and white Arrow, through a corner
Tasman in the #7 Arrow.

Tasman Reedie knows what it costs to chase a lap time. He grew up racing karts and became a race winner, but every result came at a price: hours of practice, sets of tyres and money spent on test days that often taught him very little. To keep racing, he left school at 15 and went to work.

He once spent $800 on a lap timer, hoping it would help him find speed. All it told him was that he was slow. It offered no setup changes and no driving advice, so he had no way of knowing what to do differently on the next lap.

That frustration shaped everything that followed. Tasman trained as a heavy vehicle diesel mechanic, rebuilding engines, gearboxes and hybrid systems, and then went back to study. He completed an honours degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the University of Wollongong, and along the way designed embedded firmware, IoT devices and GPS systems. He set out to become the engineer who could build the tool he never had.

Fusion is that tool. Big teams give their drivers a huge head start. Drivers pay thousands of dollars to join them, and on day one they are handed thousands of laps of data showing how to set up the kart for the track and exactly where to brake, turn in and get back on the throttle. Drivers without that support are left guessing, and a list of tips downloaded after the test day is no use when the session is already over.

Tasman designed and coded Fusion himself, pairing an affordable data logger with an app that gives instant feedback. After a single session, drivers get clear insights they can act on straight away, while they're still at the track and it still matters.

Fusion was built to make racing more affordable for drivers on a budget, and that will always be its purpose. In Tasman's words, Fusion is the affordable race team you bring with you on the day.

Questions

Before you
start.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The live demo is a real session you can explore without signing up: tap any corner to see the time lost, the speeds through it and what the coach says to change.

What do I need?

A session file from your data logger. Fusion reads CSV exports from AiM loggers (including MyChron), VBOX files and GPS app CSVs. No logger? The Ghost Logger records everything Fusion needs.

How do I get a CSV from my AiM or MyChron?

Open the session in AiM Race Studio, choose Export and save it as a CSV, then upload that file on the Fusion dashboard. Want to see one first? Download a sample session.

What does it cost?

$3.99 a month for everything: corner by corner analysis, the coach, setup advice, lap and friend comparison, and your garage. Cancel any time from your account.

Does it work at my track?

Yes. Laps are found automatically from your GPS line, so it works at any circuit, including ones that aren't in our database, without a beacon or any track setup.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your sessions stay private until you choose to share one with your friends, and you can make it private again at any time.

Is there a phone app?

The Fusion dashboard works in the browser on your phone or computer today. The iPhone and Android apps are in final testing.
