Lounge control is a system of electronic throttle control, injection systems and ignition system designed for start-start "from place". History of the Lounge
History of the Lounge
The need to be launched as quickly as possible and without loss of traction of the wheels with the road appeared in the first automobile race in the history of mankind. For a long time, before the advent of the first microprocessor systems to control the performance of different systems of the car, the optimal start was considered part of the art of the racer.

It all started with a two-way telemetry. In 1985, Renault's engineers learned not only to remotely receive signals from the sensors on the car, but also to transmit other signals that optimize the performance of a number of systems.
In the future, when electronic systems have reached a high level of development, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) has banned the use of "electronic assistants" for F1 teams on the pretext that the driver's art, if available, is receding. After a lively debate, the use of bilateral telemetry was again allowed, and then again banned in 2004, as the FIA considered that excessive use of electronics was too costly to develop new systems, which inhibit effective participation in low-budget teams.
What's the need for a Lounge?
In other races where the problem of effective start is no less relevant, and the rules use of electronics is not prohibited, the system of control lounge is actively used. A fine example of such a race can be a quarter-mile race, the so-called "drag-racing". The nature of these races is that the fight is waged in the hundredths of a second, and the participant loses the race automatically. Therefore, the system of control lounge is extremely popular with participants of competitions in "Drago".
The most famous manufacturers of universal control systems are Racelogic, LRP, and Gizzmo
The Lounge control, which is used for the construction of a drag-reya car, is quite simple and efficient at the same time. It allows to start under practically equal conditions in each race. When setting up the control lounge, the driver must specify the engine speed that the electronic control system will support up to the moment of the start. This allows the driver to press the accelerator pedal to the limit (and immediately after the start the full opening of the throttle will be necessary immediately, as it will be necessary to accelerate the "squeeout" out of the machine all that it is capable of), and the engine turns will not be changed before the start.
The choice of optimal turnover depends on many factors and, of course, the understanding of the particular car. The selection should take into account the nature of the surface, the tyres, the suspension setting and a number of other factors.
In the case of a turbocharger engine, the speed of the turbocharger must be taken into account when driving the turbocharger and set the start conditions after the engine has been released to the full boast (the Lounge control should not be confused with the anti-lag).
How the Lounge works
Most systems of this kind (for example, Gizzmo Electronics Launch Interface) generate misfiring in cylinders, broken down or in a row, while not allowing candles to be lit by gasoline. At this point, the activation of the activated Lounge is controlled by two parameters: on the clutch switch and on the signal from the speed sensor. The system of the Lounge is able to disrupt the response signal sent by the electronic coil control unit to the specified order to warn the engine to be unwind at the specified speed per minute.

After the pilot releases the clutch, the speed limit is switched off and the second limit is included. This second limit is triggered when the clutch is disengaged when the torque transmission is interrupted. The second limit allows the driver not to remove the "locked" foot from the foot of the gas during the gearshift to the end of the distance. Controlled engine speeds are used to avoid the loss of adhesion to the road on transition from gear to gear.
Use of Lounge Control in Serial Vehicles
For a long time, for a number of reasons, the use of the Lounge has been confined to a narrow range of similar racing cars of powerful supercars with a mechanical transmission, or less frequently, with ACPR (considering the damage inherent in the start to the limit of the complex machine design).
The situation has changed dramatically with the development of robotic double-clutch boxes, the most famous in the performance of the DSG from Volkswagen. The boxes of this type are a variety of controlled electronics of the ICCI with automatic chaining. Their design features are not better suited for sports-start systems, so we can see a number of VAG vehicles on a number of VAG vehicles these days. Such a box is now equipped with the Scoda Octavia, Volkswagen Tiguan and other models of the concern, but strictly defined modifications, usually with a turbo engine. Among the serial models is also model M from BMW with a sequenced gearbox of gear sequential gearbox, Porsche 911 (in sport mode + +), Panamera Turbo.
The effects of the system of the Lounge can be achieved by computing the control of the gas pedals and the brakes with two legs
It is worth mentioning the Lancer Evolution X MR (sold only in the USA) from Mitsubishi with a robotic SST or Nissan GT-R (in which the Lounge control is available in the "R" transmission mode).
In the serial-driver's Lounge, the driver is normally not provided with a choice of parameters. This natural-manufacturer is obliged to ensure that the owner of the machine is not able to break something serious (for example, transmission). Therefore, the task of driving the motor vehicle turns on; the driver remains only to squeeze the gas pedal and release the brake.
The use of the Lounge Control is specified in the instructions for the operation of these models. The most typical difference from a typical start in this mode is that it is necessary to press the right foot on the brake, and the right to the gas, which is not characteristic of the driver's driving behaviour with the ACPR. The DSG is by no means a "machine gun", but the pedal has two boxes of cars with this type, and they operate in a typical "automatic" mode, that is, one leg.
In addition, the exchange rate stability system must be turned off for a successful start-up.
