[urq] Toyota should be talking to Audi....NAC

[Nick Lawrence]

For my understanding,   on cars that have software to override the 
accelerator when the brake is applied, to what degree does this happen?  For 
example with brake on will the engine just make idle speed/power?
Also I don't have racing experience so what scenario in racing benefits from 
power on with brakes?
Thanks for the explanations.
