    so this car is meant to replicate the F2002 (which should be the choice imo, not only bc of its greater reputation but it debuted in brazil) & not the 2001 car? i ask bc the specs seem more similar to 2001.

    Here's another VERY interesting video about what drivers really see in the cockpit of their bolid.

    have an easy (stupid) question for you guys -- do more revs = more power, & whats the relationship there?

    this car inspired me to read a bit about the era & apparently on the power side of things it was all about the revs; so much so that when in 2002 a certain bmw engine hit 19K at monza & it was literally a historical moment.

    the HP is given at 18400rpm; is this the peak figure & if so, does it remain so at higher rev limits? and the really dumb question -- assuming the peak figure is 18.4K (or % below the rev limit), why raise the limiter? im guessing its bc if bump it to 18.8K (hoping this will be raised to 19K, btw), the peak is above 18.4Krpm & the figure is higher? is any of that right?
