That sounds like some interesting technology. I'll see what I can find..

I'm really looking for ways to fine tune a car, "on the fly". You could then learn very quickly what influences what. Yes you can read about it all day long, but feeling by the seat of your pants from lap to lap should help you dial in:

1) After reading what makes the car do, or handle "this" or "that" way.

2) What type of characteristics you find most comfortable for your driving style.

3) For what Track time cost and your ability to get there and practice, having things very easily to adjust should maximize your learning curve. (Along with plenty of private lessons. Not necessarily in this order.

4) The less time you spend doing things the slow way, makes doing things the fast way a lot less expensive. I would bet if one could do a legitimate study, and had the funds to do so. Putting in these types of features would get everyone to their goal of being a respectable drive very quickly and possibly for less money.
