I like auto-x, and when I went I left mine in second so I could focus on hitting the apex and getting proper angle of exit. I was quite a big slower than most of the others out there but my own times improved by 10 seconds from start to finish.Simon

As for running in 1st gear, depending on the gearing on the car, 2nd is a better bet. You lose time for every shift you make. I do my best to run everything in 2nd gear, and if its a really fast course, I'll use 3rd. Being pegged in a gear is usually slower than going up a gear however. The car is easier to drive at somewhat lower rpm. (If pegged at 7K rpm in 1st, running 2nd at 5K will make the car easier to drive, and produce a faster time) Also, short hard stabs on the brakes save time over rolling into them. Get on them, then off as hard and fast as you can. Its also advantageous to enter a tricky part of a course slow and build through it rather than entering fast and trying to slow down as it gets tighter. (Slow in, fast out ;) )
Good work with running for the first time. Its not as easy as it looks, and you will learn lots and become a better driver (everywhere, street and track, it doesn't matter) through doing it on a regular basis.
