Question Sector times don't add up to lap difference

    Ok somebody tell me I'm not going mad

    Looking at this screenshot my lap time is 1.46.857 and the driver comparison is 1.46.267 giving an overall difference of .590 which is correctly shown in brackets to the right of the comparison time .

    However if you add the individual sector differences together .066 & .256 & .041, which are the correct differences between the sector times this does not equal the overall lap difference

    Sector differences equal .363 but the lap difference says .590

    What am i missing ?

    Pretty sure those are best sectors, not sectors from that particular lap, hence the difference
    (took you long enough ;):p)

    I don't agree as you can see in the top half that his best lap was 1.46.267 , it just so happens to made up of the best 3 sectors

    He did his best lap with three green sectors, this is why his best lap is equal to the sum of his three sectors. That's not the case for you, and that's why the sum of your individual sector times is better than your best lap.
