i sorta disagree with this statement. i do so because in a tight course (autocross) why would one shift down into 1st gear if the majority of the course is 2nd gear. so, going into a switchback (180*) why shift back into 1st? all it (downshifting to 1st) would ever net is wheelspin with or without race compound rubber.
