With most road courses wouldn't this be the difference in rolling into WOT in 2nd or 3rd gear versus in top gear? That is quite a difference in load on the engine. I'm not a road racer but I wouldn't think that many race car drivers would be rolling out of a corner lugging the engine at 2800 rpm in a high gear, instead of downshifting.
An enigne dyno is basically running in high gear for the whole pull. |
100% spot on,on a road course,one downshifts to whatever gear is needed coming off a corner.....I don't know too many road racers that stay in 4th gear for an entire lap!!!!!!!!!
Road racing and a dyno pull is like comparing an apple to a watermelon.....
