The signal light at the pit exit is red. The heat is glimmering on the asphalt of the race circuit. You have shifted into first gear; your foot is on the clutch. Even when the car is standing still, the hoarse hissing of the 500-horsepower, naturally aspirated engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo penetrates your driver’s helmet. Suddenly the pit exit light switches to green. You step on the gas pedal. The enormous acceleration presses you against the seat. The Gallardo shoots out of the pit road and is at 100 kph in 4.2 seconds.
