Just curious if you are aware of a data aq system that will give you predictive lap +/- compared to the reference lap but with individual segments so that you see just the individual segments. Predictive lap data gets ruined for the entire lap when you hit traffic. If they did it segment by segment it would reset and be useful regardless of what happened three turns prior.
Can't you simply watch the prediction as you continue through each sector, and see if it is going up or down as you continue? That would give you an indication of your current performance. Like, "Ok. I know I was slow +0.750 in T-5, but now out of T-10 I've got it down to +0.550."
in theory you are correct, but with the large speed difference i deal with on test days or multiclass race groups i am down over a second from my reference lap in one turn when I get behind someone. That pegs my AIM MXG dash led light meter. It only has 10 led lights each 0.1 second that can go green or red. The led light meter works great with a clear track. On tracks like Sonoma and Laguna things happen way to fast to actually look at the predictive lap number itself so the lights would work perfectly if they reset each segment.
I drove in the rain last Saturday in a PCA event. My instructor told me to square off the corners. It worked really well!
Have two of your books, outstanding!
