i think i would stay in 2 if i pussied out for T1, and stay in 3rd if i manned up for T1. possibly down shift to 2 (assuming i needed to) for T4 so i could get more accel for T5, shift to 3 before the blind down hill right (whatever that one is), pass most of you gaylords around the outside or inside, upshift to 4 going into left kink, shift to 5, 6, going into right kink, and all the way down to 2nd gear for carousel, have people pack up behind me cause i braked too much/too early, and then drive out early, losing you again after i fart and giggle.
