[Fot] Brands Hatch

[MadMarx]

The 3rd+OD is a little shorter than 4th so I use this combination on shorter
straights.
I shift up under full throttle without clutch release and on the two long
straights I use 4th + OD as a 5th gear.
To overcome the gap between 2nd and 3rd I use 2nd+OD and then go up to 3rd.
When I start I shift through the gear using OD.

On down shifts I use clutch and always blip the throttle between the gears
and again when I release clutch.

Yeah I noticed he had a moment the lap before.
Never seen an overdrive setup in race use before, was interesting.

Looks like you have to plan your shifts a little more to take full advantage
of the extra gears.

Or do you opt to go into 3rd and use the od as 4th?

Were you blipping the throttle between od shifts to keep the RPM up?

Thanks.
