Anyone have any actual info on how much rollout is lost with paddles in the sand? Stated a bit differently,how much difference would there be between an indicated wheel speed as compared to actual ground speed in top gear just cruising. Dry,soft sand. Is it negligible/10%/more?

According to my math based of gear ratio and gps speed. Not a whole lot of difference once you’re up to speed. I’d say less than 5%.

Just coasting, not much.
On the throttle, there’s always wheelspin, so it’s a wild ass guess.
There’s also some tire stretch I assume since paddles make weird noises at speed.
