here's a link to a thread I started last year... i'll start updating it again once summer starts for us Canadians, but oyu can get a feel for the sort of information I like to play with

from the two books that I posted, I only read the 2nd one so far. One of the biggest wow moments was realizing that I could play around with plotting steering input vs lateral loads to differentiate between mechanical understeer and driver induced understeer.


regardless, one point to keep in mind is that YOU have to decide how much effort you're going to put into managing the information presented by the hardware. I've been unable to use the AimSoloDL output live, just not enough time, but then again I don't have a sun/glare friendly laptop and I'm usually juggling the data unit between multiple cars.

I think the SoloStorm is much quicker to use on the fly, which is why it is interesting to me.

But most of my analysis comes after an event.

More often than not you'll see people saying it's a waste of time, but that's their opinion. I think it's a wonderful learning tool if you allow it to be a learning tool.
