 Also
note the launch control switch. Rumors have swirled of a pit-launch
system that piggybacks the car's airjack system. We've heard that
sensors on the airjacks note when the pressure drops (when the pressure
is bled out of the airjacks in order to drop the car back onto the ground)
and the launch control system then responds by firing the engine and launching
the car once it is on the ground (with sensors noting when this occurs
through strain gauges on the pushrods). The time savings would certainly
be worth it given the number of stops in an endurance race. There
also would be a built in fail safe of the inability to stall the car exiting
the pits. |
