Maybe you should drive faster so you don't need to downshift into 2nd... I keed, I keed!
lol.... I've driven that corner faster a couple of times with negative (oh shit ) results.

This isn't a high speed track. I barely get into 4th on the back straight.
It's a very technical 2.5 mile loop with 14 corners.
It shows your short comings in a hurry.

The funny thing is the downshift is not just driver error, since others find the same thing on that corner.
It's also strange that it's only the right hander that's a problem, the left hand hairpin is no problem at all.

I'm really looking forward to testing new tranny mounts to see the difference.
I'll definitely post my findings.
