Driver performance on race day?

Post

I know in qualifying drivers are at their max and on the limit, come race day though, how close are they to the limit of the car and to their own ability.

They are often lauded for their consistency but if they are not close to the limits then that consistency doesn't seem as impressive as one would think.

In racing games I am generally on the limit at all times but I am hindered by the car, the extra weight of fuel, tyre wear, dirty air, etc.

Are real drivers knowingly holding back and keeping a bit in reserve or are they indeed limited by their equipment.

Race day today - In my view - they are miles from their own limit. The cars are so much more capable and it is a formula to manage the performance of the car at the level it can manage the race at.

Qualli - also seems a little restrained - now that we don't have qually engines, gearboxes, brakes and so on....

Interested how you know you are "on the limit" in racing games - maybe that's another thread :)

The drivers drive their vehicles quite quickly on race day. However, they never stop getting ready for it. Additionally, they travel a great distance on race day. By the way, I came here while searching for a site online in which I can find justbit casino review Canada. I want to play real money games and that is why I am searching for a site online in which I can find those sites with reviews.

Depends on the track. It's like a marathon, you will be at endurance limit in difficult tracks, but it's never like a sprint where you are at your peak.
