I know some of the S2000 guys were downshifting back into 1st there and it definitely helped.

This car is much easier to downshift into 1st than the WRX/STi gearboxes.

Also, since this is the CS thread, the July Fastrack has a proposal to move the BRZ/FR-S to ES with the NB Miata.
It makes sense that the S2000 guys are downshifting.

That would be interesting if the move to ES is approved. I somewhat don't see that happening, but I could be wrong.
