down shifting
i was reading some of the posts and when people are racing they said that they down shift is that good. when i race i usually have it in d5 and just hit it to the boards. so basically my question is how do you race

hm well I have a 6sp so slightly diff.. but you want to max out your rpms. So the gear you want to be in is the one where your getting the most out of your rpms.. Mpt sure if that helps.

Think of it this way. If you have a MT, you don't keep it in 6th gear, punch it and then downshift. You downshift then punch it. In an AT by leaving it in D5 and then punching it you're wasting time waiting for the downshift and energy to build up. So downshift in anticipation of punching it. There's no waiting for the downshift and the energy is already built up.
This is one of the main reasons that I beat guys with faster cars . .
