Optimum gear up-shifting in GT4 RS

BvonStuttgart · Jan 22, 2025

Tech specs show max power at 8400 rpm and max torque at 7000 rpm. Hence, when is best to shift up manually when racing?
Any reason to go all the way to 9000 rpm outside of mere sound experience?

When does the PDK shift?

The answer to your question lies within the entire power band. How much does the power drop between 8400-9000 vs how much it drops if you shifted at 8400 and then whatever RPM the engine would be at in the next gear.

Good point!

shifting to where the rpm is at or above the torque peak of 7K when its in the upper gear - as you'll keep in the peak part of the band between max torque and heading to peak hp

Maximum acceleration requires upshifting at redline. This applies to nearly every manual transmission, mass-produced car ever made.
