Input → Output

Inputs You Provide

  • Telemetry ZIP (WinTAX4, MoTeC, Pi Toolbox) or Excel manual entries
  • Track name + number of laps
  • Target hot pressures (FL/FR/RL/RR)
  • Ambient temp (and tire temp if available)

Outputs You Get

  • Optimal cold pressures (FL/FR/RL/RR)
  • Confidence / data quality indicator
  • Prediction intervals (range of likely values)
  • Grid bleed suggestion for race start

Two Workflows, One Tool

Whether you're preparing for qualifying or managing race stints, TPP has you covered

Short Runs — Qualifying & Practice

Upload telemetry from short runs (5-10 laps) and the ML model learns how pressures build up on each track. Then predict the optimal cold starting pressures for any target hot pressure and lap count.

  • ML-based prediction trained on your telemetry data
  • Per-corner cold pressures with confidence intervals
  • Track-specific — each circuit gets its own model
  • Grid bleed calculation for formation lap correction

Long Runs — Race Stints & Endurance

For race stints and endurance events where pressures stabilize, Race Tires Management tracks compound usage, analyzes ΔP vs ΔT trends, and auto-detects plateau conditions. Ideal when using tyre heaters.

  • Stabilized pressure analysis from long-run data
  • Auto-detect plateau when 97% buildup is reached
  • K-factor calculation (thermal gain) via linear regression
  • Driver thermal profiles for endurance tire set planning

Who It's For

Race engineers & teams optimizing tire strategy with data
Data analysts processing telemetry for actionable insights
Drivers with structured notes — even without TPMS

Not a generic street-car tire pressure calculator.

Key Features

Race Tires Management

Track tire compounds with a configurable dropdown, visualize pressure build-up with ΔP vs ΔT and ΔP vs Laps charts, and auto-calculate K factors (thermal gain coefficients) via linear regression. Includes an OptimumG-based pressure calculator.

Auto-Detect Telemetry Format

Drop a ZIP archive and the app automatically identifies the telemetry software (WinTax4, WinDarab, MoTeC) by sampling file contents with majority vote. No manual configuration needed — just upload and process.

Prediction History & Verification

Save every prediction with driver, event, session, and tire condition metadata. Filter by track, driver, or date. After the session, add actual hot pressures and verify predictions against real-world results with color-coded accuracy feedback.

Plateau Detection

Automatically detects when tire pressures stabilize during a run (97% of total build-up reached). Stabilized runs are auto-saved to your Prediction History as verified baselines — reliable reference data without any manual work.

Track Relations Matrix

Generate cross-track coefficients that transfer pressure knowledge between circuits. Uses bilinear interpolation within the data range and linear extrapolation outside it, so you get reliable starting points even for tracks with limited data.

Runsheet Editor

Interactive editor for manual pressure data entry. Import Excel files, edit cells inline, manage track/event/driver lists, auto-save with undo/redo, and export back to Excel. Works for teams without TPMS telemetry.

Pressure Unit Toggle

Switch between bar and PSI with a single click. All pressures across the app convert instantly — inputs, outputs, charts, and history. Internal calculations stay in bar for precision.

GPS Track Layout

Automatic GPS track map from telemetry data with numbered corner markers, start/finish flag, and track statistics (length, corners, lap time). Visual reference for track-specific analysis.

How It Works

Three steps from raw data to race-ready pressures

1

Data Input

Upload telemetry ZIP or fill Excel template with your pressure notes.

2

Processing

Data cleaning, filtering, and statistical model training per track.

3

Prediction

Cold pressures + grid bleed ready for qualifying, plateau analysis for race stints.

FAQ

What data do I need to start?
Telemetry exports (ZIP from WinTAX4, MoTeC, etc.) or manual Excel entries with hot/cold pressures, track name, and lap count. More sessions = better predictions.
Can I use it without TPMS?
Yes. If you record pressures manually (pre-session cold, post-session hot), the Excel workflow works perfectly. TPMS just automates data collection.
Does it work for long runs vs qualifying?
Yes. The model distinguishes session types. Long runs and qualifying have different thermal profiles, and the app accounts for this when predicting.
How do I get started?

What is Race Tires Management?
Race Tires Management lets you track tire compounds, visualize pressure build-up with ΔP vs ΔT and ΔP vs Laps charts, and automatically calculate K factors (thermal gain coefficients) via linear regression. It includes an OptimumG-based pressure calculator for converting between hot and cold pressures using the ideal gas law.
What is Plateau Detection?
Plateau Detection automatically identifies when tire pressures have stabilized during a run (reached 97% of total build-up). These stabilized runs are auto-saved to your Prediction History as verified baselines, giving you reliable reference data without manual work.
Can I transfer pressure data between tracks?
Yes. The Track Relations Matrix generates cross-track coefficients that let you transfer pressure knowledge between circuits. It uses bilinear interpolation within the data range and linear extrapolation outside it, providing reliable starting points even for tracks with limited data.
