Default Question for all track guru's

When your booting around a track, done suspesion and all. What's the rpm ranges do you use, tight corners, fast corners, banked...and all the rest.
The only tracks I can relate to is Cayuga (Toronto Motorsports Park), Mosport and Shannonville. If you know these tracks pleaze answer, Thanx.

Going around the track - any track - you should keep the R in the lowest gear you can without exceeding redline. That means that your revs will be as high as possible, and will vary from somewhere around 5500-6000 or so immediately after upshifting, to 8400, all the way around the track. Tight corners (ones where you're significantly slower than 60 mph) you'll be in second gear, and fast corners in third, but you'll still be keeping your revs up, regardless.

Rarely less then 5000, never under 4000. The car is at 6000-redline 80% of the time at least.

Oops ... missed that.
