  Yes. The other main ones are fuel and oil pressure, but they are just for novelty
mainly. Believe me, you can tell when you run out/are running out of fuel or when the
motor drops a rod :) However, the fuel pressure gauge starts to drop with an increasing
accompanying of decreased engine power and spluttering until shutdown. It's great to have
a sufficient enough lead at Spa on the last lap and be able to do the last 1/2 lap mostly
in 5th and splutter over the line in 1st :))))))
