When competing at the top of #F1, looking for the last 0.001s, swathes of real time data matters.

Choose team metrics wisely. At first, you work on basics. The racing line, braking, steering input. Once you can take the kart round reasonably consistently, have visibly good technique and clearly on the racing line, then you want an electronic dash to log sector times (tracks are split into 3 sectors).
