I've never been much good at telling people which gear I take corners but I'm pretty sure I have been taking the hairpin in 1st, everybody else were telling me they took it in 2nd, I also take a very tight line into and round the hairpin and full throttle with a little wheelie on the way out, most people take the 'quicker' wide in and out line in 2nd but I don't think it gets your lap time down much and your asking someone to dive up the inside for a block pass, the most important corners would be the tight right onto the back straight and the almost flat out right onto the start finish straight. the looooong left hander is amazing, it will be a shame not to have that anymore. My back wheel locks up when I change to first.
