3.20.12 you're dpwnshifting to 1st while still well above 100. Is that needed? Does it help balance? In most of your shifts to 1st, I bet you could just as well hang it in 2nd.
Virginia in the rain, have you try short shifting? And when coming down in speed, delaying the downshifts? Your car seemed might nervour on high revs in the twisties even in 3rd. In second it doesn't tolerate even 5% throttle with any lateral load? You will not get the same peak torque and braking in higher gears, but you don't seem to have a use for that anyway. Makes the throttle less jumpy, or...? I bet you'd be a lot smoother and faster in 1 or 2 gears higher. Just try that hairpin in 3rd in stead of 1st. Once you get to full throttle, you might downshift for troque :-D
I may well be wrong, but I'd think that in a high gear off throttle, these things ought to roll a lot nicer through twisties and drift on the exits. 3:19.43 for instance, what's the rush with the downshift, do you need help to put braking force through the rear axle to give the brakes a bit of a breather? 3rd gear appears to be as effective as a handbrake. I'm not driver but I'd like to decide where my braking force goes, especially when it's so slippy.
Yea in theory it makes sense. What I've found though is that grabbing a low gear means I have less chance of locking under braking and unsettling the car. There's definitely time left on the table here and rolling thru in higher gears may help the lap time but it's not as consistent for me, I'll take engine braking and stability over lap times when the conditions are this bad. Just personal preference I think mate 🤷♂️
