In any case, even with perfect driver etc. the answers to your questions would vary very widely from track to track and day to day e.g. a tight, twisty, slow track would have a very different answer to the lbs or hp per second answer than an oval with an infield. Ditto for a hot day, cold day, damp day etc.

With the greatest respect, this isn't a serious exercise!

All that said, with the goal of at least being a bit helpful, have you checked out the (free) Bosch Lapsim also discussed here RaceSim Central
I can always count on someone to miss the point and not answer the question. Again, this is not a simulator, it is a decision tool. With the greatest respect, the is a serious exercise.



Again, please respond only if you have something useful to add. I.e you track your car and have made an adjustment to the car and noted a difference. All else being equal.
