| Time Factors for Speed Differentials | ||||||
| Miles per hour = (Gear Development in feet) X (Revolutions per minute) X 0.0114 | ||||||
| GD = (MPH x 88) divided by rpm | ||||||
| Time to close gap = Gap in seconds X speed differential factor | ||||||
| Time gained in an attack = attack time in seconds divided by speed-differential factor | ||||||
