Q: How can I shift gears without damaging the gearbox or engine, but still push really hard to be fast?

Q: How can I shift gears without damaging the gearbox or engine, but still push really hard to be fast?

Q: “When I push hard, I tend to mistreat the gearbox to the extent that I have already damaged it or the engine on two occasions. This always happens when I’m under pressure.

Do you have any tips to help me drive as fast while managing the gearbox properly?”
