The only way I could see you going over is if you were in the top gear and trying to go faster
I'm actually a pretty firm believer in that whole red line thing.
I have 'mechanical empathy'.
I tend to keep it below the red line.
Now, if I was racing for points/money/a car that didn't belong to me.... Well, I might be inclined to push it at the end of the race - but I'm a big fan of the racing adage...
If you want to finish first, you have to first finish.
But, I'd likely push it here and there - if I was racing for points or a series or similar... I'm not gonna push it all that much in my own cars. They call 'em limits for a reason, that's my thinking.
That is wise thinking. Like the Chinese art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Pirsig. Robert Pirsig...
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
It has since been copied a zillion times over, with other 'zen and then art of _____' books.
It's a good book. The name has been bastardized something fierce.
