and

STRATIO = 22
Thanks, I had to change the steering angle identifier but the formula seems to work. Now I need to learn how to interpret the graph. Attached are screen shots of the math channel page and measures graph. The lap is at Thunderbolt

From the data it looks like your car pushes quite a bit, especially going through the Octopus. One more important point I failed to make above:

In order to determine the ACTUAL steering angle, I have used data from a slow speed outlap and scaled my steering sensor data to superimpose on top of the theoretical steering angle from the formula above. (In my case, I divided my steering sensor data by 22 and got a pretty good fit).

If you don’t have GSum, the formula is: sqrt((GPS_LatAcc^2)+(GPS_LonAcc^2))
Previously, Matt posted a math channel that computes brake trace from longitudinal G: abs(IF(EQ(LT(-GPS_LonAcc,0.2),0),-GPS_LonAcc,0))

Details are shown above

in addition, go into Map and develop a track map with segments so you can look at your theoretical best lap and best segments to show you true capability. An example is shown above.

Once you have all that, pls post a new screen picture and we’ll throw our comments at it.
Thanks again for reposting these math channels. My E46 M3 does not have brake pressure but, using the math channel, my coach was really able to help me with my braking during my first outing at LRP. I'll post some comparison traces to show where I started and I where I ended up once I get back home. Will be at the Glen tomorrow and Tuesday.
