I see no reason to flog a Boxster's engine up to redline in first gear, even under track conditions.
IMO, second gear is the real power gear, once you get her goin'; third gear is the kicker, fourth gear is cruisin', then fifth or sixth, in normal conditions............is just sustaining speed.
I've never hit the rev limiter. Brought her to redline many times (2nd, 3rd, 4th). Empathy towards one's machinery is important, and not just in maintaining longevity.
Just sayin'..............
