The Overview tab is a metadata and utilities panel — not the default view when you open a file. New files land on Track Map; switch to Overview when you want to confirm session details, manage session linking, or export raw data.
Where to find it
Open any file in the viewer → click Overview in the tab bar (first tab, left of Track Map).
Session Info
A grid of cards pulled from the recording and any linked race session:
- Driver — name from the file (your flag shows when it matches your profile)
- Car — canonical car name and class badge
- Track — layout name with country flag
- Session type — practice, qualifying, race, etc.
- Finish position — when the file is linked to a race result
- Fastest lap — best lap time from file metadata or events
- Other metadata — recording time, weather, car class, and other fields stored in the file
There is no lap-by-lap list or chart preview on this tab. Lap times and replay live on Track Map; stint charts and custom channels are on Pit Wall.
Linked Session
Connect this telemetry file to a race session in your MyLMU library:
- Attach Session — match by track layout and recording time when nothing is linked yet
- View Session — open the linked race page
- Detach — remove the link without deleting the telemetry file
Linking adds context such as finish position and makes it easier to jump between telemetry and session results. See Linking to sessions.
Data Export (Pro)
Pro subscribers can export raw channel data from the Data Export section:
- Search and select up to 20 channels
- Export CSV or Export JSON for the selected channels
Free plans see an upgrade prompt here. Channel charts and replay do not require export — use Track Map or Pit Wall for in-browser analysis.
When to use it
- Confirm the right file opened (driver, car, track, session type)
- Check fastest lap before comparing on Track Map
- Attach or review the linked race session
- Download raw telemetry for external tools (Pro)
