Eh? -Kidding, right?

So far, I've only shifted in the corners when accelerating from the
position where I have to rest after I hit the outside wall.
Seriously, you shouldn't need to shift at vegas.

I ran a test race there for ESCORS.
I run 33.24 as best, but there was a guy that was running low 32, so I
watched him from his***pit. He was shifting down when he just had finished
braking, and shifting up between apex and the wall.
So I guess that's the way to go. (If the gearbox can handle that many shifts
;-)

Hmm. If I had a choice between having a girlfriend, and sim racing - I'd
gladly sell my computer.
I guess the grass is always greener...

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

I *like* Atlanta ans Lowe's. I don't have enough laps on the other tracks yet
to have that strong of an opinion...<g>

Trust me being single is as green as it gets ( pasturewise ).
O course YMMV. ;o)

It's okay to lug the engine - you can better avoid getting loose as you
accelerate, and it saves wear and tear on Papy's woefully fragile
transmission. I only shift down if I'm trying to regain control of the
car(to avoid hitting the outside wall) after I've over-driven into the
turns.
BTW, most of the fast setups are geared wrong for shifting in the turns
at ovals without sacrificing a LOT of speed.
The only oval track I can think of that I shift at on purpose (with the
fast setup) are Martinsville and Indy. There may be one or two others
but I honestly can't remember which ones.

What's your best time at Las Vegas?

Hey now, look at it this way. Sim-racing is by far the cheaper of the
2 activities. :)

33.053, and that's*** it out there without regard for traffic.
I've found that tire wear and fuel consuption (not to mention car
control) are at their most efficient when I'm running 33.3's and 33.4's.
