Creating custom Math Channels in Race Studio 3 is one of the most valuable skills for maximizing the performance of your MyChron data system. With Math Channels you can design your own formulas, combine multiple data traces, and smooth out noisy signals to create highly accurate metrics that reveal what is really happening on track. This level of control helps racers understand driving technique, kart behavior, engine performance, and chassis balance with far more detail than default channels can provide.

By building custom math formulas, you can measure engine load, track throttle smoothness, evaluate braking consistency, and create advanced performance indicators that help you find hidden time in every lap. These tools are used by competitive kart racers, LO206 drivers, and advanced coaches to break down lap performance corner by corner, making it easier to spot mistakes and improve quickly.

This guide explains how to add a new Math Channel in Race Studio 3, verify your formula, and make it available in any data graph. Once created, your new math channel becomes a permanent resource you can use with all future sessions. For drivers looking to improve consistency, coaches training junior racers, or anyone wanting a deeper understanding of MyChron data, custom Math Channels offer a major advantage. Learning this feature can help you make better setup decisions, understand kart balance, and gain the speed you need to move ahead in competitive karting.

⭐ Step by Step Instructions 

1. Open Race Studio 3 and load a session inside the Analysis window.
2. Look at the top toolbar and click the Math Channels icon.
3. The Math Channel Manager will open and show all available math channels along with the channel library.
4. Click Add New to start creating a brand new math channel.
5. Enter a name and choose a unit for your new channel.
6. Build your formula by double clicking channel names from the library or typing the formula manually into the field.
7. Use the search box to quickly find channels in large lists.
8. When your formula is ready, click Verify so Race Studio 3 can check for errors.
9. If the formula is valid, click Save.
10. Your new math channel will now appear in the channel list and can be enabled inside any graph just like a standard channel.

🔧 ADVANCED: What You Can Do With Custom Math Channels

• Build engine load formulas that reveal how hard the motor is working in each corner
• Create filtered or smoothed channels to reduce noise in throttle, brake, or RPM traces
• Compare throttle smoothness with derivatives to measure pedal control
• Estimate brake stability using rate of change calculations for brake pressure or brake switch data
• Convert units, blend channels, or build custom metrics for driver coaching
• Improve kart setup by detecting chassis balance issues with lateral load transfer calculations
• Create predictive lap time or delta estimation channels
• Build minimum speed markers that auto detect apex speed in every corner
• Generate oversteer and understeer indicators using yaw rate and steering angle relationships
• Build slip ratio or traction indicators when wheel speed sensors are available
• Detect bouncing, hopping, or chassis instability using filtered vertical acceleration
• Track micro driving habits like early throttle, brake release timing, and turn in consistency
• Create gear ratio effectiveness formulas for 4 stroke and 2 stroke kart engines
• Evaluate driver inputs using combined G force, steering rate, and corner entry aggression
• Build virtual “coaching channels” that turn data into simple green and red signals for improvement
