You can keep one hand on the wheel right? Even so, if you know you have to be in second gear for the second corner, shouldn't you downshift to that in the 3rd gear corner? If you're that high in 3rd gear, wouldn't the extra torque be beneficial when exiting the 2nd corner? I just find the situation hard to understand when it seems simple enough for a MT.
