I agree that having data acqusition capabilities on the car would be a good thing. However, as I can't see myself using them in the near future, I would not want the cost to rise because of having them there. I race about 2-3 races a season, and therefore know that my time improvments come from having more confidence in the car, and being able to feel it better. I know I am not braking late enough for some turns, or am not carrying enough speed through the turn, etc - the instructors can tell me that, and I can see it based on the other drivers around me. So I don't need a computer to tell me the same thing.

However, for drivers who do all the races and do want to know where they can gain a little bit here of there it could be useful. So having it as an option may be a good idea. But only if it does not increase the base cost to drivers who don't want it.
