Overtaking has never been so easy

There should be chicane-cutting aplenty in the Superleague race this weekend. The football club-linked teams are coming to terms with the push to pass button, which provides the drivers with extra power for overtaking manoeuvres. The 11,000rpm V12 engine is boosted to 12,000rpm for a 15 second burst after the driver presses the button on the steering wheel.

Each driver can press the button a maximum of eight times in the race, but it cannot be used for two minutes after the previous use and cannot be used in qualifying.
