I found some extra speed in the Ferrari by winding the engine
up to passed 10,000RPM (top of the tech, anyway).

All the computer players did it, so I decided to try it.

I was struggling with everyone (Lotus, ...) beating me on the
straights, not anymore :)  This also uses up more gas than
usual, so you need to add an extra gallon or so, or else
I'm running on fumes the last lap.
