This would have been the drive of the weekend had it not been for Alec Grahams first race.

That style of gearchange, without lifting off the throttle, is not music to my ears.

I guess an ignition kill button on the gear lever would fall foul of 2CV Racing Club regs... :roll:

I wouldn't risk it myself, one slip with the gear change and you can kiss goodbye to your engine....

That's what I thought, especially going into 4th. But racing drivers can only see the potential 0.000007 of a second advantage.

I didnt have any issues (this time) with gears, although I did forget to change down once!
