Yes, I am in 5th on the straight and down shiznit to 3 going into 1. I carry 3rd and shift to fourth halfway through corner four, downshift to 3rd before corner 5, then shift into fourth halfway through corner 6 then downshift to 3rd into corner 7, I then carry 3rd gear until I'm out of corner 15, I am at 7800 rpms going into corners 9 and 12, my limiter is a little higher then stock. Is that why you are shifting to 4th after turn 11 is that you would be on the limter?

Yea did have a little spin out after turn 10 on Sunday, nothing big just looped it and kept it on the track.
Yea I'm running out of 4th gear heading into Turn 5 but don't shift, just hold it at 7500 before downshifting to 3rd. I also hit the rev limiter coming into 9 but don't shift to 4th just run it out before braking for 9. Yes I'd be well past the limiter if I stayed in 3rd after 11.
