Use A Taller Gear to Drive Faster - Performance & Race Driving
A mistake many performance and race drivers make is using too low a gear when driving through some corners. Often, using a taller gear forces you to work at carrying more momentum through the turns, as I explain in this Speed Secrets driving tip.
Whether you're a beginner with HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) events, a regular track day driver, an experienced race driver, or anything in between, I aim my Speed Secrets high performance driving tips at you. All have one thing in common: to help you be an even better driver.

I used to always take the corner after a long straight in 2nd gear (race track designers always put the slowest corner after the longest straight!). Then 2nd gear synchro started to crunch, so to save it I started taking those corners in 3rd. Turns out I was faster doing it that way.

I did Putnam Park in just fourth gear once. It really did force me to maximize momentum. Good tip.
