So having asked the question, I was already curious so I dumped a VBO file to look. Confirms that several interesting things aren't there (wheel speeds being a big one, yes!).
Also: it seems that the file that is exported crashes Circuit Tools if you try and open it. I used the Jorg Burgmeister sample lap that comes with the app now so I think the source is OK...but the exported file just face plants Circuit Tools. Perhaps no surprise because a quick visual inspection of the VBO file content suggests the header area info is in a quite different format shape :/

This is awesome. I’ve been building an app for track days and spirited drives, kind of like Strava for cars: www.trackattack.app
I’ve added PIP video, Apple Watch HR, logging all sensor data, a track UI and a road UI with navigation and unlimited waypoints, easy data export. Basically the ultimate enthusiast app I’ve always wanted. The next big feature I’m working on is vehicle connectivity with OBD and/or other vehicle data connection. I’ll spend some time looking into this after I’m done with OBD!

Exlap isn't on the CAN (but I'll wager the data arrives to the exlap service via CAN), that's what's kinda cool is if you can auth to the exlap service you don't need to care about what format anything is in, you just ask what the car has and dump that data.

Are there useful and/or interesting channel/signals with data here that cannot also be found in the VBO exported data from the Precision Track App??
In your original post, you mention wanting as a goal to use the data with other logging systems -- do you mean you want to examine data with other logging systems analysis apps (so i2pro, Circuit Tools, Race Studio 3, Atlas, etc)??
Depending on what you are trying to do and what you want to see by way of signals, the VBO format is already a documented text file that isn't that hard to morph into formats that some of these other software tools can ingest.

I was really hoping that wheel height and velocity would be logged but it looks like that's stuck in the PASM controller.
