WHere do you run this gearing?

Although I would have to agree with the 5800 optimum max revs for some circuits it will simply not work and you end up having to compromise gearing for overall lap time. Tockwith, for example has one of teh tightest hairpins I have experienced and we have found the 5800 gearing to simply be to high to get any exit from this particular corner. The down side of running the lower gear, however, is the engines are reving at over 6000 at the fastest part of the circuit.
