The only legit reason to run it in 5th is for traction (i.e. if there was a lack of it in 4th).
To add to that - if you get a power at the wheels figure, the same car run in 3rd rather than 4th will show more. ( and the opposite - same car in 5th will show less ATW than in 4th)
That true?? so that in turn would give a lower than ACTUAL "flywheel" figure too yeah??
No, that calculates out right, using the actual speed of the wheels I think.
What got me looking at it was an RST got ran up the same day as me - him in 4th, got something like 200 ATW say. Ran mine up in 5th, and I had around the same at 210ish (
) On the way home though, I'm pissing all over his lighter car on the motorway - go figure.
