100% agree. Alas, my confident is not there yet and 4th gear feels safer. Keep in mind, this is my second year doing trackdays in systematic way, and just in the last few t.days took the traction control off. So it is a learning curve. My nature is to progress deliberately, systematic, and progressively. That sometimes gets in the way of progress. I'll get there. My goal is by the fall to be on third gear and managing traction with the throttle.
