I just noticed that traqstudio actually does give radius information. I just never looked for it before. It should give me enough data to think about a few corners which was the objective in the first place. It's still time to upgrade but it will give me something to do until spring.

The great thing is that you have a fair bit of historical data. You can go back through and establish the linkage between three measures, radius, speed and sector time. That's what you want to do.
Good old Traqmate...

Give me a while to compose a more detailed response, but you butt is not lying to you. Entry point accuracy ALWAYS takes second fiddle to apex accuracy. Apex accuracy ALWAYS takes priority, period. Think about how long you're turning through a corner, think about how long it takes before you can go back to power (WOT power).
You're on a good path with your questions and your reasoning.

I think that without accurate topographical measures, you can make calculations until you're blue in the face and not be able to take those into account, especially on a multidimensional track like VIR. This tool, experiential in its learning, can take these factors into account and, most importantly, deliver this corrected and accounted for measure real-time to the driver.
People ask me all the time how to "tune their own ***." Well, this would be a great way to do it.

I think it has lots of potential and will be very good. I'm excited for a time to check it out more when I get back from Autosport. Great things are going on here in the UK.

The Digital Driving Coach visual feedback would seem to be a problem. I can tell you that when I am driving at my qualifying pace, I am not going to be able to see if there is red or how much red there is on the LED display. My eyes and brain are just too busy. Where to locate the display is a problem too since I am rarely looking out over the steering wheel when the feedback would be most useful.
I would think that some kind of audio feedback would be easier to take in and process.

And that is possible, Scott...
This is a personal calibration tool.
I would use predictive on the dash during qualy, myself.

Eventually input to virtual on windshield so you don't need to look down. Sbelles- I'm convinced at Lime Rock the only solution is the string to left ********. Don't brake.
