Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

It was really interesting to me how the driver was using the gas and brake, and how it showed how much they were pressing those pedals, and how the driver was hitting the brakes fully to 100% every time he touched them and how we had the gas floored at 100% most of the time as well, except the times where he completely took his foot off the gas pedal. I thought that was really interesting to see along with seeing where they were and what he was doing. They probably do that for lots of races now but I rarely watch racing so I was impressed

Other than a few sections, that's pretty much what you do. You're either gaining RPMs as fast as you can, or dropping them as fast as you can. If you're trying to save fuel, you might be a bit less aggressive, but you're normally stomping on one pedal or the other.

Now, there are times where this isn't true - like when you're going through some s-curves and it's faster to maintain a higher average speed through the whole set of curves, but it's normally faster to mash the shit out of either pedal. The circuit at Le Mans is pretty much one of those tracks where you're constantly trying to go as fast as you can.

When the driver was going through something like S curves he just went through generally with no foot on the gas or brakes, kind of coasting through

Yup. Sometimes it's faster to get all your speed possible and then coast through sections - it's also sometimes a smart fuel strategy.

It's pretty fucking brutal inside a race car. This circuit has a good long straight (that used to be much longer, until they intentionally added a curve - called a chicane - to it) where the driver can kinda relax for a bit, but it's otherwise really fucking brutal inside one of these cars.

Some 'endurance' races only last like an hour which folks think is like driving their car fast for an hour. It's nothing like driving your car fast for an hour. Add to that, it's well into triple digit temperatures inside. That hour is split by two people and it's still endurance racing. It beats you up pretty bad.
