This seems to be popular for racers/drifters though:

W2W and drifting is a different story. The acceleration and braking is totally different from the time attack or HPDE scene. The difference is being to pull on someone mid corner, corner exit, or midway through the straight fighting through a pack of cars. The gearing has to be appropriate for the track and competition you're working with. Too tall and you fall out of the powerband to stay ahead in a massive pack...too short and you'll end up shifting mid corner or run out of RPMs just before the braking point.
