Check in the user setup (where you put your name in andselect the car).
You'll notice the picture of the car has
specifications on horse-power at ____ RPMS.

That red line is the telltale -- tells you your highest rev point.

Ferrari passed 9000RPM is a good thing!  Hehe.

You want the neighbors to hear you screaming down
the straights.  That kinda sound only develops at 10,000+ RPM :)

Seriously,  I always shift at 10,400 RPMs in my Ferrari.
I just get clobbered in the straights if I don't 'wind  the baby up' :)

You must be talking AI.  I like them even though I'm running in
10thpostition or down :)

There are other humans that drive like you.  You will always
be able to dice with someone.
