GPL Engines Blowing: Latest Findings!

by Chris Bloo » Tue, 21 Dec 1999 04:00:00

I posted a message here a few days ago about my engines blowing in GPL in
longer races despite using auto gears.

I think I've found out why this happens.  The engine doesn't over-rev while
changing up because the software lifts the throttle for you.  The problem
seems to be when I'm accelerating out of a corner and the computer decides
to kick down a gear, the engine momentarily over-revs while this happens.

Anyway, I took everyones advice and are now shifting myself, much easier to
control to my surprise and after a few laps you forget your actually doing
it.
