You can borrow time from the future—accelerating early will deduct time from the finish line, while decelerating early will gain time compensation. Each level of *Time Leverage* gives a “time leverage ratio” (e.g., 1.2), meaning that for every second you accelerate early, 1.2 seconds are deducted from the finish line.
Gameplay: You need to weigh your current speed against the future penalty to find the optimal acceleration/deceleration rhythm. The leverage ratio varies for each level.

Balance Point (hints at the threshold where you break even at the current speed)
Emergency Buyout (allows you to offset time debt with extra fuel consumption)
Level Introduction:
Levels 100-300: Low leverage ratio (1.05), low risk.
Levels 301-750: Leverage ratio increases to 1.3; accelerate cautiously.
Levels 751-1450: Leverage fluctuates (1.1-1.5 per lap).
Levels 1451-2500: Long straightaways are tempting but have high leverage.
Levels 2501-3900: The deceleration compensation mechanism disappears; you can only borrow, not deposit.
Levels 3901-5900: Leverage is hidden; estimate based on experience.
Levels 5901-8000: Leverage reverses (acceleration actually gains time, but is extremely unstable).
