first of all corner entry speed is calculated by the driver way before they get to the actual corner entry...or they would end up in a tree. in order to determine the optimal corner entry speed you need to know the exact position of the car, estimate conditions on the track at the corner, power and weight distribution of the car, and contact patch of each tire. every lap is different.

if this software were to suggest a corner speed but its location was one inch off you could have a catastrophic result and imagine the liability.

as someone else previously said it. its the driver's job to do that. i'm glad it is.
