i remember when the cosworth champcar guys were trying to regain some of the power they lost at altitude up in denver. the turbos were already running at almost their operating limit, and the engineers were trying to run normal and p2p power numbers similar to what they'd get at sea level. they turned the boost up to regain the power, but when the driver tried to use the extra boost from P2P, the turbocharger literally exploded, blowing the back of the car apart.

Re: Push to pass button?
the pass button also removes the rev limiter while being held down in case the driver is looking for that little extra. Its there for them to use, but not safe to be turning more RPM than they already are the whole race.
