How can I improve if I can't measure myself?
Becoming a better pilot requires discipline, time, and dedication, but it also means understanding what to improve. And to improve, you need to know how to do it..
Next allows you to evaluate your performance as a pilot across four main dimensions: efficiency, speed, endurance, and comparison. This way, you can better understand your progress as a pilot—how you've improved over time, your consistency during training or races, and much more..
And the best part? It's free!.

This helps you identify strengths and areas for improvement relative to your peers.
08. What are Resistance and Speed in My Performance?
Resistance

Speed
It indicates whether you can sustain a fast pace at different moments, not just hit a single fast lap. It’s your ability to hold a strong rhythm (good, repeatable averages) across heats/sets.

Open the race and go to the Groups section. There you’ll see all upcoming groups/heats that Next has generated for the current stage.

13. What are race picks?
YIt’s a feature that allows the organizer to create race picks based on the overall race results or on a specific group. If the pick is group-based, it’s based on that group’s finishing positions/results.
You can also create your own picks during a race: fun questions with specific answers to play with your friends, for example:
“Who’s going to crash first?”
“Who’s going to blow a motor in this heat?”
Anything you can come up with!
