Post track radius and telemetry

I am looking for the ideal radius of turns on any track. I know one does not usually take a line that involves a constant radius arc but I am just playing with the mathematics as it pertains to my race car. Any #'s on any track ,especially Mid-Ohio would be great. Also looking for any telemetry, graphs etc. involving any type of car on track, especially Mid-Ohio again. Interested in brake position(force)in segments of corner entry and throttle pickup points. Graph of amount of pressure on both pedals as it relates to position and speed in corners would be great. Not wanting any trade secrets or anything ,just thought something might be out there Icould view. Curious about car characteristics and driving styles. Trail braking, T.T.O., breath between pedals for rotation in corner etc. Looking for new things to try to get another second and be a better instructor in a variety of cars.

This is an interesting project.

I don't know the level of mathmatics
involved, but given some basic car characteristics
and track geometry, an optimized path should
be able to be calculated.

The track map here has geometry and elevation

Also, "Going Faster" has examples of the type
of telemetry that you are looking for. One of
the most interesting parts of the book.

"Going Faster" telemetry is the type I'm looking for. I might contact Skip Barbar school to see if they have anything available on specific tracks I'm looking for.
