Interactive Gearing v0.45

[theRTB]

A secondary application to dynamically alter gearing ratios for a given trace for a given car.
Derives gearing efficiency relative to a perfect transmission and interactively determines optimal shift rpms (but does not yet take the impact of reduced/negative boost from turbo into account). The RPM limit is useful in determining the impact of automatic shifting, which always happens at redline when accelerating normally. Top speed is derived from comparing derived drag to the peak power curve.
The drag value should be mostly valid for comparing drag between cars though you should assume a fair margin of error, AWD cars with different front/rear wheel sizes may not be that accurate either.
Final gear is an approximation, there is no way to derive final gear from just telemetry.
The derived shift rpm values are valid if and only if: at full throttle, shift duration of 0, not grip limited

Added features:
Power graph, shift rpm per relative ratio graph
Contains about 100 cars with full data, 100+ more with limited older data

Known issues:
Open each notebook tab in the bottom right before resizing. The tabs will otherwise force the grid layout to malform.
Performance is sluggish. Tkinter/matplotlib is not made for this kind of interactive visualization.
