Did some qualifying for Race A yesterday. I found it a lot easier to improve my time when I realized that I should avoid downshifting to 2nd gear. Instead, even when 2nd gear is recommended, I do my best to keep it in 3rd. When I do this, I seem to save a ton of time versus downshifting. I think it's because the Focus ST is a stick-shift, right? So it takes a notable amount of time to upshift from 2nd back into 3rd, versus a car with a sequential manual or a DCT.

Check Tidgney's lap guide, it's rather more related to the torque"s delivery of the turbo engine.
 
Glad to see the qualifying times for daily race A have been ruined by wall riding. I'll admit, it's kinda fun for a quirk but it ain't racing..
