I'm a wimp, I shift between 6,000 and 6,200 rpm so that's why I get to 5th on the front straight, not because my speed is so high
Thanks for the breakdown of the segments.
I was following a viper that spun out in turn 7. It was on a lead follow parade lap, 1 instructor followed by 4 cars. I imagine he hit the gas just like you said and whoooops.
I also am afraid to turn my TC off
