ALFANO DATA ANALYSIS Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve · 15 June 2026
Alfano data analysis: three changes for your next run
Find the speed you can repeat. Five measured laps point to one minimum-speed gain, one shorter lift and one gear experiment.

Choose any corner to move the map and keep its next-run instruction on screen. On your phone, use the two compact arrows to work through the lap without leaving the map.
COACHING PRIORITIES
What to change first
These are ranked by the change you can practise and transfer around the lap, not by corner number or the lowest speed.
Carry more speed without losing the exit
What the Alfano measured
Lap 5 was 0.119 s quicker through this final section than Lap 3. Apex speed was 91.7 km/h versus 87.0, and speed 40 m after the apex was 105.5 versus 102.8 km/h.
Why it matters
This is the clearest repeatable gain in the file. The faster minimum did not hurt the exit, so the Lap 5 approach is the reference to reproduce.
Use the Lap 5 turn in and minimum speed target. Build up in 1 km/h steps and keep the steering release clean onto the straight.
Shorten the lift while holding the line
What the Alfano measured
Lap 5 carried 107.1 km/h at the apex against 104.8 on Lap 3 and reached 114.9 km/h on exit against 110.5. The isolated section was 0.047 s quicker.
Why it matters
The kart accepted more minimum speed here. Because this is a fast corner, a small lift reduction compounds into the following acceleration zone.
Keep the same line first. Shorten the lift rather than moving the turn in and compare lateral acceleration shape before adding more speed.
Keep the engine in the stronger power band
What the Alfano measured
Lap 3 fell to roughly 8,300 rpm in this corner. Lap 4 stayed near 9,600 rpm and carried about 4.9 km/h more at the mapped apex while the section time differed by only 0.020 s.
Why it matters
The fastest lap may be slowing too much or selecting the next gear too early. The data suggests an RPM/gear experiment, not proof that braking later is automatically faster.
Repeat the Lap 4 gear and release timing while preserving Lap 3 exit position. Review minimum RPM and the next 60 m together.
LAP PROGRESSION
Fast by lap three. Then less repeatable.
Lap 3 is the session reference. Lap 4 confirms the pace within 0.420 s; Lap 5 contains the best final partial but loses time in partial one.
OFFICIAL PARTIALS
Theoretical lap: 60.440
The available 0.120 s is not invented by a model. It is Lap 3 partials one and two plus Lap 5 partial three.
RAW DATA, MADE USEFUL
Read the lap, not just the lap time
The selected corner stays highlighted through every chart. Speed shows where momentum changes, RPM tests the gear choice, and gear position explains the power-band drops.
ONE SESSION · THREE TESTS
What to test next session
- 01Reproduce Lap 5 at Corner 8
Target 91 to 92 km/h at the mapped apex without giving away exit speed.
- 02Shorten the lift at Corner 3
Hold the line constant. Change only lift duration so the comparison stays useful.
- 03Compare the gear choice at Corner 1
Compare minimum RPM plus the following 60 metres, rather than minimum RPM in isolation.
