I also don`t like if something are said what is known to be false like the comment above. I havent seen Julian go fix his claims/comments in topics which have been proven wrong. Or say I was wrong.

When you read topics here you need to do your own research and see what is true or not. Is there any physical reason to valid or not. I trust physic laws more than anything else.

For the onroad testing:

I only quick test my changes on curvy road which had uphills and downhills sections. Results are even so accurate as Mr Edgar thinks is impossible on the road.

Works well for diesel and electric cars. Petrol ones I havent tested but don`t see any reason why it would not work also for petrol.

On that video Julian calculated accuracy of 0,6% to other direction and 0,7 percent to other.

Julian says only 1% accuracy is possible on onroad testing, because I believe thats the limit he has said in his books or that is what it possible for him. Opinion in the matter is not possible to get turned otherwise.

I on the other hand thin even more accuracy is possible when you think the testing even more what you want to achieve and how will you achieve them. That depends on what you testing, aero or engine mods etc...
