As an "educated" engineer I can follow the author's dissertations, but I feel that it is far too complicated and academic for your average racer. Racers want to race and not study mathematics.
The articles would be far better if he described the situation and gave the answer with only a very basic description how he got to the conclusion.

Apropos ... Stef, can I get you to give me some AutoX hints this year? Got a couple new stickers on the car and need some tipps on how to handle the additional HP :)
