Going up the hill into T2, I stay in 4th to avoid running out of 3rd on the following sequence.

Into some of the slower/tighter corners, I avoid 2nd because I feel like I'll just lose time shifting going onto the following straight.
I suspect you're right, that 2nd gear with a shift is faster. Run something like an AIM Solo and let the data confirm or deny what exactly IS faster.

I used to instruct out there and have the qualifying track record in ITA with ICSCC. Shoot me an IM, I'm sure I can help.
