Growing up I hated math, I sucked at it, if they had told me how important math was to building and operating a race car, I would've been all over it.
There's so much stuff behind the scenes that is invisible, tire pressure/temp curves, predictive pressures, same with fuel, weight, amount, size of restrictor orifices, use per lap and predictive fuel management plus all the chassis setup info and details. Pretty amazing, really, if you have a kid that hates math but loves cars, you might let them in on that.
I decided to get a degree when I was 48 years old, I basically had to go back to idiot math and learn everything all over again, at least I had a mission this time around.
