I have also thought that I'd like this functionality in the past, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the premise is bogus.
One cannot add up ones fastest segment times across a bunch of laps and assume that this would result in any time realistically possible. You will come up with an unattainable time.
Take a simple non-continuous track, an S turn. You start going north, turn 90-degrees west, and then back 90-degrees north. Assume that the westerly straight is short enough that you have to "give up" the first turn to maximize speed through the second turn.
Now split this up into two segments, splitting the westerly straight.
On this track, I could have a great time through the first turn (segment), but this would screw up my time in the second turn. Likewise, to get the best time in the second turn/segment, I could go slowly through the first turn.
Now, if I add up my two fastest segment times, I'll get a great time ... but it's not attainable on any real lap.
So is this functionality something that's really desireable?

Josh, You can minimize situations like you describe by putting the sector marks in straightways and away from corners or braking zones. If you do this you can get attainable laps...
