I'm going with the fox on this one

Wow thats quick!! What about shift points? It look like you mostly drive in 2nd and 3rd?
I mostly in 3rd and theres a few spots I think i should be in second.
Mostly turn 6 and turn 9. I'd like to come out of turn 12 in 2nd but not sure when that should happen? Between turn 10 and 11? or maybe before 9 and stay in 2nd untill I come out of 12?
I keep saying I want to try it but so far I just stay in 3rd all around
Joel,
Awesome write up and video GR. Pulling some serious speed around that course.

Most cars will be second and third gear for most of the course. Some might need to grab fourth on the two main straights depending on gearing.
Leaving it in third all of the way around is a good thing for novices to do, helps you to learn the course quicker because you can direct more of your concentration to that. You might think "I can clutch and shift no problem", which may be true, but doing it in the right spots requires some concentration until it becomes memory ... taking away valuable brain cells and neurons from helping you remember the course layout. :-)

This is what usually happens to me. Im so focused on the track and my lines that I say screw it when it come to the gears. I would at least like to try this time mid day after a few sessions. I feel confident enough with my lines and I just want to mentaly prepare for when to shift to 2nd.
Here's what Im thinking correct me if im wrong or if you have a better suggestion:
Shifting to 2nd at the end of my breaking before turn 2 and keep it in second until after I come out of turn 6. Same thing with turn 9 until i come out of 12. I think my RPM's wont be higher then 5000 in 2nd gear for those parts of the track.
Let me know what you think?
