Or, do we want major braking zones segregated and excluded from all of the corner/corner or corner/straight segments?

I was probably somewhat inconsistent with where the braking zones were located in the VIR segment map that I sent you, so I'll re-work it based on your input.

Thanks!!!!
You're correct on the quality segmenting. I'm not a pro when it comes to segments, but I do know it's somewhat of an art. You don't want the segment to include a highly variable area - like catching just the beginning of a brake zone. That would make for a spot where later braking (that might blow the corner) could make the prior segment look really good but not attainable in practice.

I'll see if I can get someone to write an article for TrailBrake about segmenting. I'm sure we'll all learn a lot.
