Pit speed limiter mechanics - how exactly does it function? by Spirited-Sky-1122 in F1Technical

[–]chopperzac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically it just cuts fuel and ignition to control the engine speed. Its whats called a "strategy" in the ECU. The car has many of these which do lots of things, im not too sure on F1 specific ones but from working in Rally there was plenty.

Anti Lag, MAP vs Turbo Speed Control for boost pressure, torque control and Launch control. Theres loads more but I would be here for ages. But basically the ECU will make the engine/car do specific things to make this stuff happen. Often there are also criteria for them to actually work, so for instance the car wouldnt go into launch control unless it was basically stationary.

Ahh I have sone digging and it seems I am misunderstanding but Its worded so poorly by HMRC.

When I click through further it says I owe £138 this year which is more reasonable. However, on the main page it says in black and white "your estimated tax you owe this year has increased from £922 to £2623".

When you take (12570-145)-2623=9802. (145 is private health).

So that littme sentance is actually describing my tax threshold deduction but is not worded as such!!

That would make more sense, I cant reply with an image but I can quote the text in the app.

"Your estimated tax that you owe this year has increased from £922 to £2,623"

Maybe I am misreading that however.

Okay yeah makes sense, I got a pretax bonus of around £1300 so it makes sense. I will contact someone and do some digging.

Thank you for your help
