I want to use this when I race. I want to be able to look at engine health and know if I'm close to blowing up the engine near the end of my race so I can short shift or turn down the boost. I also want to be able to see at the end of the race if I have plenty of engine life available so I can push the car and maybe finish in a better position had I been driving slower saving the engine.
When I do timescaled races with rFactor, the engine life seems to slowly creep down in percentage then after around 50% it decreases more quickly and then the engine seems to die somewhere in the 30% range.
Shouldn't it blow up around 0% ? I should be concerned about the engine health when it's around 40% ?
Please let me know how you use the engine health while you are racing? I'm trying to see if the consenus is that when it gets to the low 40%, the engine is about to blow and I'd have to nurse the car to the end.
Thanks
