58. RTR Technology
Racing Throttle Response :
When the accelerator pedal pressed suddenly, how fast power output of
engine increases implies the throttle response of that vehicle
Overtaking
After following a vehicle or going side by side, there is a need for sudden
increase in power to execute a successful overtaking. This is why throttle
response plays a crucial role in racing.
Coming out of a corner
While entering a corner, brake is applied or at least power is reduced. As soon
as the corner is passed, the car should be accelerated quickly. Better throttle
response gives a sudden surge in power.
Driving pleasure
Throttle response plays a major role in driving pleasure, as this gives the driver
more control over the vehicle's acceleration.
