Just interested in when people change gears in normal driving, and what is optimal for the car.
Ie I change in normal traffic, non racing, at around 2200rpm.
The reason I asked because the nutter before me (a pilot in Germany), drove the car with gear changes at 4-5000rpm ALL the time. Probably one of the reasons I had a newer replacement engine!
Just wanted your opinions/input on different reasons for when and/or why you change gears at certain revs, and what is supposed to be optimal for our cars?
