This. Is. So. Wonderful.

I'm glad you guys had fun and Matt, your writing makes it sound like you were really grasping the whole "steer partially by throttle" concept very well so kudos to you! It is really something once that clicks.

How much rev-limiter-banging was going on? The rallycross courses I've run in western MD could all be done in 2nd to give more top-end, at the expense of some bogging through a super-slow turn or two (or you go back to 1st there).

The Taurus is either first only or it shifts freely into second and third. The latter is worse to the transmission out there, so I just told everyone to stay in first. The trans is much weaker than the engine.

Yeah, definitely. All of the back-and-forth shifting would only build more excessive heat from the clutches slipping.

Given it's a well-known trans and electronically controlled, I wonder if you could rig up some simple electronic control to force it into either 1 or 2 as an override to the shifter.
