The Suck Zone

It's the point basically at which the twister sucks you up. That's not the technical term for it, obviously.

Sucking zone

The point at which one vehicle "punches a hole" in the air for another vehicle behind it, thus lowering the air resistance for said vehicle and propelling it forward at a faster rate. This zone is informally known as the "Sucking zone."

In various racing sims, this zone is typically reached when a vehicle is at minimum 0.600 seconds behind the one in front.

"Dude, how are you going to fast?"
"I'm in the sucking zone!"
