Default lifting while changing gears

So I was told by an instructor that banging gears while being flat on the accelerator is slower than if I lift a little then change gears. It certain makes the shift smoother but more importantly, am I saving time or losing time?

Shifting Operation
Depending on the driving situation, distinctions are made between trailing-throttle upshifts, trailing-throttle downshifts, acceleration upshifts and acceleration downshifts. The complete shifting operation takes place in 3 phases.

Full Throttle shifts are always guaranteed to make the fastest shift in the current situation possible. I think your instructor is wrong on that occasion.

Was this a driving instructor Nick ?

First I've heard of this. Cant imagine it being quicker over foot to floor and changing gear in S5 or S6 mate.

yeah.

I was a bit puzzled as well. normally I don't hesitate to do full throttle upshifts but he had me thinking a bit.

I also mentioned that I wanted to try triangulation on hairpins. He didn't like that as well. something about my car being too heavy. Shimmy, what's the verdict on trying to vee a hairpin in the CSL?
