Dosare l'acceleratore

[pietrolo]

Hi guys,
we need to translate the following phrase:
"Bisogna saper dosare l'acceleratore".
What we are not sure about is how to express "dosare" in English because "to dose the accelerator sounds way too dumb

Any help?

How about the full phrase & context?

Well, that's pretty much it:
"Bisogna saper dosare l'acceleratore per uscire dalla curva in modo corretto"
E' un gioco di Rally.

You need to accelerate carefully or Go easy on the gas
