But we will aim to simulate, to a minimal degree, some standard components of a high-speed vehicle's motor. So first, let's break down the expected behavior of each part of our engine, as follows:

  • Cooling system: The cooling system is responsible for making sure the engine is not overheating. When the turbocharger is activated, the cooling system shuts down during a turbocharge. This behavior means that if the player overuses the turbocharger, this can overheat the engine, and in consequence, the engine will stop or explode and the bike will stop moving.
