How does anything you just said address the fact that shifting in a turn upsets the car and you should do it before or after the turn? I thought you had track experience?

Exactly, especially if it's something you know you're going to have to do. If it's a random thing I could understand but...

That said, I would hope he's not anywhere near the traction limit on the streets when performing this maneuver.

LOL, on a circuit, of course, torque steer, balance, apex etc, etc. This is from a stop, immediately going into a right turn, getting on the throttle to have the open lane. What choice does one have? Turning right at 31 mph while you bounce off the limiter?

Edit: Come to think of it, when I had the 370, I did NOT upshift through this turn, it was a manual and I generally held 2nd cuz it revs higher than my Genesis.
