Steering, on paper

I grabbed a little app to table sensor data, and collected my device's angle for a few races.  Unity is arbitrary here (it reflects angle, but is not measured in degrees or rad)

This one is comparing Porsche with Corvette in the GTE-PRO Series, Nurb Mullenbach TT.

In my plot:

Note the gradual unwinding of the steering starting at t=10.
Later at t=14, I unwind the steering of the Porsche first (guess it started to oversteer).
After that, I throw the Porsche's rear a bit to the left (longer & steeper steering to the left) at t=16 (and t=18). 01 second later, slight unwind.

For any point in time on the plot, add 3 seconds to see approximately the same spot in the video (video's not mine, so it doesn't reflect precisely my lines)

This could provide insights on the driveability of different cars (at the peak of their performance), or different driving styles.
Should at least be fun in 'random steering' challenges. smiley
