    I'm doing a group project in my Engineering Dynamics class and we are studying and reporting on the forces encountered by a vehicle during hard cornering. I haven't picked a turn at VIR to model yet, but I was wondering if someone who was attending the event had a GTech Pro or any device that can measure lateral G's and would be able to monitor their speed and G forces through a turn. I would also need information like vehicle weight, driver weight, what tires you are using, etc. If you don't have a GTech but you have GPS, I might be able to obtain instantaneous velocity from that as well. Any assistance that anyone can offer would be much appreciated. We could especially use Media from the event for our presentation. Also, the more data from more cars, the better. The premise of the project is to compare what we obtain mathmatically to actual results. Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

    If someone were willing to lend me their Ferrari for the day, I'd be happy to gather that data for you. :D :D :D

    It doesn't have to be a Ferrari, it just has to be VIR. But yes, I get your point;). If I could get on the track, I would go do it on the Ducati, but no track days for me.

    The report is due on the first of december, so the Feb date won't work, but thank you for the offer. Check out JDavid's post on upcoming events, its next Wednesday, but you had to pay to play back in mid October.
