Every corner of every French circuit — corner-by-corner analysis
Brake Point now has named corners for 26 French circuits. Triple gauche at Lédenon, Adelaide at Magny-Cours, Signes at Paul Ricard — your telemetry finally speaks the paddock's language.
“You’re braking too late into Triple gauche 2.” Not “you’re braking too late at turn 2.” Not “you’re braking too late at the 230m mark.” At Triple gauche 2.
That’s how the paddock talks. And that’s how Brake Point talks now.
What changed
We finished mapping every corner of 26 French circuits — every track in our French database except La Michetterie. That’s 267 named corners in total, with entry point, exit point, and corner type (left, right, hairpin, chicane).
A few concrete examples:
- Lédenon: Triple gauche 1/2/3, Virage du pont, Virage de la carrièrrasse, Virage de la courmelle, Virage du camion, Virage du cavalet
- Magny-Cours: Adelaide, Estoril, the 180, Imola, Lycée, Château d’Eau
- Paul Ricard: Signes, Beausset, Sainte-Baume, the Pif-Paf, Bendor
- Le Mans Bugatti: Dunlop, Chemin aux Bœufs, Garage Vert, Raccordement
Plus 22 other circuits — Nogaro, Carole, Pau-Arnos, Val de Vienne, Dijon-Prenois, Croix-en-Ternois, Folembray, Anneau du Rhin, Bresse, Issoire, Mas du Clos, Le Luc, and every new track we added in March.
What this unlocks
1. Your stats are now sliced corner by corner
For every lap, you see:
- Min speed per corner — your speed at the slowest point of each turn
- Max lean angle per corner (motorcycle)
- Max brake pressure per corner
- Time spent in each corner — your real performance indicator for a specific turn
No more scrolling on the trackmap to guess where T6 starts. The segmentation is automatic.
2. Lap-vs-lap comparison, corner by corner
Overlay your best lap and your average lap. Brake Point automatically identifies where you gain and lose time — by named corner.
“You gain 0.12s in Triple gauche 1, but lose 0.18s in Virage du camion.”
That’s the difference between knowing you’re slow somewhere and knowing exactly where to focus next week.
3. BudAI speaks the circuit’s language
AI analysis now references corners by name. No more “you’re braking too late in sector 2” — instead:
“At Beausset, your minimum speed drops to 142 km/h, while at Pif-Paf just before you were still at 195. You’re over-braking: try releasing earlier and carrying more lean.”
Coaching becomes actionable because it’s precise. You know exactly which corner is being discussed, and you can visualize it in your head before even looking at the trackmap.
4. Filter and search by corner
On the session page, filter your laps by performance in a specific corner. “Show me my 5 best passes through Adelaide.” We display the laps sorted, with telemetry isolated to that corner.
Perfect for identifying what worked one day that you can’t quite reproduce now.
For coaches
If you’re coaching multiple riders, for each corner you now see:
- The rider’s average minimum speed
- Delta from the reference lap
- Trend over the last sessions
You can identify in 30 seconds the corner each of your pilots should focus on next.
What about non-French circuits?
We already have the data for Mugello (with its Arrabbiata), Sachsenring (with its Sachskurve), Brno, Spa-Francorchamps, Jerez. The rest of Europe is coming circuit by circuit — built from GPS data, official corner names, and community contributions.
If your home circuit doesn’t have named corners yet, tell us which one — we’ll prioritize it.
See you at Lédenon
FSBK round 2 runs April 30 to May 3. We’ll be in the paddock. Bring your USB stick — we’ll look at your telemetry together. And this time we’ll talk about Triple gauche 2 and Virage du camion, not “sector 2” and “sector 3.”
