Drive By Wire

With a drive by wire system, this is very doable. But to make it accurate the car would need some sort of a real time feed back to track the car as it progress down track. GPS would work, they are getting faster all the time, but what most automotive company's use for brake testing is a optical sensor that bounce's light of the pavement (they use to use a fifth wheel for this input) and the programing for this kind of a system would not be that complicated.....

That being said, in my humble opinion......just by the win column on the new cars that are using drive by wire.....it doesn't appear that anybody is using it. maybe Nitro Joe could shed a little light on the stats for new cars winning rounds or races
