Nabil talked me into coming over and teaching the novice classroom sessions at the next event. Since I need testing time with the new SPB, I am going.

Since I've not driven an SPB at RA it's difficult for me to say exactly what gear you need to be in. In the other cars that I've driven, T1 is not a downshift unless you are in traffic and have to slow. Having said that, in order to get up the hill to T2, you will have to carry more speed through 1.

T3 has been a downshift in every car I've driven at RA, then upshift to 4th before entering the SSSSSS.

T6 is difficult to answer until I drive it as I've done it both ways depending on car driven. Watching video from Todd Lamb, he is going into 3rd at T6, followed by 2nd at T7. The shift back to 3rd comes at trackout and can be difficult.
