   It’s clear Arlen has gotten under your skin now that you need others to   
   validate your position.   
      
   Maybe the racing club wasn’t a good source for this and instead a   
   mathematician would have been better. My guess is this is relevant in   
   models when performing calculations for simulations. The actual mechanics   
   of curve management are mostly second nature to people once they learn some   
   basic concepts and gain some experience.   
      
   Note: I am not a racer nor a mathematician. I’m just someone who would like   
   to see the bickering end.
