yes there is "sort of" a physical limitation, to avoid from shifting into 1st gear while you have second on redline and attempting to go into 3rd.
once you slow down enough, then the limitation will go away and you can slip it into 1st, but this is so slow that there's almost no reason to do so. if your already moving but want a faster start in 2nd, hold the clutch in and feather it out while reving the RPM high.
never never never try to force the car into any gear. if it wont go smooth, then you can possibly bend/damage something by force.
