The problem is that the shortened gears is going to potentially render 3rd gear useless given all the high speed turns at the glen. As a novice you'd be fine, but shortened gear ratios doesn't buy you any power on track, it just shortens the ratios and brings them closer together. On a short tight track it would possibly work out better. I can tell the difference in ratio just between my 2 sets of tires this last weekend. I preferred the taller ratio as it eliminated a couple of shifts and I was in the power sweet spot, but this varies for each track.
