Write up on how the peak HP numbers don’t always tell the whole story and there is a lot more to a cars performance then just the tip of the power curve.

Discuss that the plotted area underneath the curve, calculated out is a much more meaningful way of measuring a setup of a car and how it will perform all the way around.

Possibly have a video section of comparison of two near identical cars, similarly setup, with similar peak numbers but different areas under the curve to show superiority, but that’s a stretch.
