i don't think i ever keep track of what gear i'm in anymore. even on track, when talking about gears in the pits, only remember where i shift. i have to figure out what gears those would be based on the up and downs. for me, there's no point to knowing what gear you are in.
i just keep the engine engaged. if i need to downshift, i downshift. need to upshift, i upshift. when i am approaching a stop i leave the engine engaged because it keeps everything nice and in control and if someone decides to do something stupid i have gas or brakes available. i downshift while i brake and reengage after every gear.
