Getting Started Your First Session

Once the p0 client is connected and your game is running, data flows automatically. Here's what to expect.

Starting a Session

  1. Launch p0 and make sure it's authenticated
  2. Start your game and enter a session (practice, qualifying, or race)
  3. p0 detects the session and begins collecting telemetry

You don't need to press any buttons — recording starts automatically.

Completing Laps

Each time you cross the start/finish line, p0 packages the lap data and sends it to Apex Racing. You'll see laps appear on your dashboard in near real-time.

Invalid laps (pit laps, laps with major cuts) are still recorded but flagged accordingly.

Viewing Your Data

After completing a few laps:

  1. Open the Dashboard
  2. Your latest session will appear at the top
  3. Click on a session to see individual laps, sector times, and telemetry

What Gets Captured

Every lap includes:

  • Lap time and sector times
  • Telemetry traces — speed, throttle, brake, steering, gear, RPM, and more
  • Tire data — temperatures, pressures, wear, compound
  • Fuel data — fuel load and consumption
  • Car setup data — where available from the game
  • Position data — x/y/z coordinates for track map visualization

Session Types

Apex Racing recognizes these session types:

  • Practice — free practice, including short practice
  • Qualifying — all qualifying formats (Q1/Q2/Q3, one-shot, sprint shootout)
  • Race — full races and sprint races
  • Time Trial — single-car time trial sessions

What's Next

Now that your data is flowing, learn to read it. The Reading Telemetry guide walks you through the three fundamental traces — speed, throttle, and brake — and teaches you to interpret corner shapes, braking styles, and exit quality. Start there, then explore Dashboard to understand your performance overview.
