Lap Time and Session Record

A free printable lap time sheet — each session summarised with tyres, fuel and the setup change made, then every lap with sectors, traffic and what happened on it.

First page of the Lap Time and Session Record — See which change actually made the car faster, because the time and the change that preceded it are written on the same page.

What this sheet is for

See which change actually made the car faster, because the time and the change that preceded it are written on the same page.

Who it is for

Drivers, co-drivers and helpers at track days, test days, sprints and club races who time laps by hand or copy them from a timer afterwards.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the circuit, car and driver once at the top.
  2. Before each session, write the tyre set, fuel in and any setup change made.
  3. Log every lap with its sectors, and note traffic, flags and mistakes beside it.
  4. Write the best lap back into the session row so the summary reads on its own.
  5. Keep the sheets by circuit so the next visit starts from the last one.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: One day at one circuit — each session summarised once, then every lap with its sectors and what was happening on it.

The change and the time belong together. Write the setup change beside the session it was made for. A lap time on its own is a number; next to the change that preceded it, it is the experiment. Setup figures are your own — nothing here suggests what they ought to be.

Write-on lines: Circuit / layout · Date · Car & number · Driver

Sessions — one row per session, in the order they ran

Table, 3 rows: Session · Type · Weather / track · Tyre set · Fuel in · Setup change made · Best lap

Laps — session number in the first column; note traffic, flags and mistakes

Table, 35 rows: Sess. · Lap · Lap time · S1 · S2 · S3 · Traffic / flag · What happened

Questions

Why is there nowhere to write target pressures or setup figures?

Because they are yours and your tyre supplier's, not this sheet's. The session row has room for the change you made, in your own words and units; the tyre record sheet holds the pressure and temperature detail.

Can I use it if my timing comes from a transponder?

Yes — copy the times across afterwards. The value of the sheet is the column next to the time, where you write what was going on during the lap, which the timing screen never tells you.
