I'm interested, when abouts during a race would you want anything less than full throttle, I thought the idea with racing was to go as fact as you could? (except when braking, of course)


Do you *honestly* think you just use on-off throttle, or are you having a giraffe? Mid corner if you want to feed the power in to exit do you really think you just drop the hammer? Do you think you won't go bum first if you do that? Maybe not if you're in a car with sod-all power and hitting the throttle adds nothing to the equation, but in anything with decent power you'll just head off the course.

Races are primarily bends. Bends require fine throttle control. Weather requires even more fine throttle control. Launching properly takes throttle control, not just full throttle.
