2nd gear too short???

Hey everyone,

I've done a couple events with the BRZ so far and the car feels great.

During my last event though, I topped out 2nd and experienced the ECU cut in power. This would happen as I was approaching a wallom.

Now, do you think I should just shift to 3rd early and downshift again into the wallom or would it be better to just hold second at redline (no WOT)?

Just trying to get better and I would like to hear some thoughts from other people.

Here's a video of the course from that day: (I know I still have more than plenty to improve, especially early turn-ins and braking, but let's try to stay on topic about the short 2nd gear)
