When i was at the track i left Overdrive on, should i have it off for better times??
definitely, it plays with your timing and doesnt give you engine the amound of fuel it needs to stop the wheel spin soo this will effect your times. personally i dont have a problem with it, i just turn it off if i want to play around or go to the track doesnt bother me
