Just gave it that title so I could see relevant replies easier. And I really enjoy reading 400 messages a DAY from people telling us when their kettle's just boiled etc... The point is that has anyone wondered why when you lift off the throttle/apply throttle there's a slight delay in it taking effect (like 0.2s or something)??? Surely this loses time. Maybe it's realistic in that modern F1 cars have software controlling the fly-by-wire throttle and iron out bumps in the road which would have to add a delay in a 'deliberate' press. Anyone thought about this/any ideas??? Jim

I got a SB equivelent (Aztech or something) but cheers, I'll try having 'no sound' and see what happens (hopefully that'll help my lap times too!) Jim
