Frequently asked questions
What does 100% throttle mean?
It means the driver is requesting maximum acceleration. The actual power-unit output can still vary depending on vehicle control and energy-management conditions.
Why is throttle control important in corners?
How quickly and smoothly the driver applies the throttle affects rear-tyre grip and vehicle balance, which has a major effect on corner-exit speed.
