SEAT - rFactor 2 log analyser based on MATLAB

Updated to v1.0
After 2 years in development, SEAT goes to release. Although MATLAB is not a great language for standalone applications, it was a useful experience :)

New features
  • “Pace” plot under “Graphs” tab has an additional visualization of lap times sorted from the fastest to the slowest, excluding outliers (see attached picture). This graph is useful for endurance racing to quickly see the overall picture vs competition (too much wear early in stints, lack of pace, one underperforming driver in the team, etc.). The graph was inspired by one of the race engineers during 24H Dubai this year, and I think it is really neat.
  • All tyre wear data with the average fuel load for every stint was moved to “Stints” report. These reports somewhat overlapped, and, in some cases, the aggregated data on tyre wear was a bit misleading without the data on average fuel load. Users can still download the .CSV file for own analysis with “Reports”-“Stints” drop-down menu. This merge also improved XML log processing time.
Backend improvements
  • Updated backend to MATLAB Runtime 24.1 (R2024a).
UI changes
  • The option “Remove outliers” for lap times and sector times was removed. This feature caused some unfixable bugs when combined with other overlays and, overall, did not add a lot of value.
  • Some minor changes in variable names in reports for consistency. For example, “Personal best” was renamed to “Fastest lap” in the “Session” report.
  • Removed a warning about the beta state and updated “About” section.
How to update
  • Uninstall existing version and install the new one. You will need to update MATLAB Runtime to 24.1, the installer will handle it for you.
