I'm just curious, what kind of steering technique do you use, shuffle or cross arm? In the mountains or along the Pacific Coast Highway I generally find that I'm able to reach my paddles at all times using cross arm so having to reach down to change gears is never an issue.
Also, I was taught to never change gears mid corner when driving quickly to prevent unbalancing the car (so no unintended Doriftu!
). As far as I know you're supposed to enter the corner in the gear you intend to exit/accelerate out with then shift once the car is pointed straight enough.
Are the stop-turn corners you're having a problem with really long enough/sharp enough to force a mid-corner gear change or take your hands off the wheel?
Sorry if you knew all that already, I'm just trying to figure out how you might be able to better navigate those turns so you don't need to use the stick as much...
