My understanding is that GEEZ usage is based on the numbers YOU generate as
the high's under certain conditions and then makes sure you "keep" doing
this. So, if you are consistently "slow", the software assumes you are
staying at the limits and grades (on a curve) you "high" on usage.

You want a challenge, try a mod car where moving your hands and feet and
brain waves fast enough to stay at the car's limits is a real challenge
(not to say keeping a "soft stocker is easy either . . . I've done that too
and it is also hard). Hit a few corners well and you are a chump for others
where you couldn't keep up or didn't dare try for max cornering cause you
wouldn't (or at least didn't think you could) be able to slow in the 1 or 2
seconds available enough for the hard corner in the opposite direction!
Fun, as long as your ego can handle it! (and I'm only in a CM . . . can't
imagine what AM and BM are like!).
