One section of the course ended up dropping me under 4k in 2nd gear. I never did try downshifting. Does anyone use first gear? It was a pretty short section and I can't imagine I could have saved any time but I'd like to see when people DO downshift.

Link to more from the event, videos uploading now:

I'm not sure about the twins, yet, I've tried it in my Impreza wagon. It wasn't worth it. It was better to leave it in 2nd, even with the lower rpms.
