How do you use the gears in your car?
Do you rush to the highest possible gear for your chosen speed as soon as possible?
Do you linger in the lower gears for better acceleration?
Are you constantly up and down the 'box in regular driving?
I generally don't change up unless it allows me to continue building road speed.
I'll hang on to 3rd until 35-40mph and I don't bother with 5th until 60-65mph.
Separating brake/change/steer inputs is a very good system which allows you much more control of the car.
Whether you want to roll up to a roundabout in 2nd (at a ridiculously needlessly low speed) planning to stop, or, planning to hammer through it at 60+ mph in 3rd I think that control input separation is worthy.
But you can only have the opportunity to seize the go (and go quickly) opportunity if you're already in the right gear.
I do not understand people that make it a goal to get into the highest gear possible all the time.
