Default GP style shifting?

anyone use it? brief description of what it is, having your gears inverted (shifting up to first gear from neutral, then every other gear you shift down).

was said to be better in corners so when you need to shift up your foot doesnt scrape the ground

you switch around your gear shift linkage so it goes the opposite way (or using a different shifter (like a vfr shifter on a 954)). its better at the track for when you're leaned over and trying to upshift.

and for the drag guys, it shifts quicker and is easier to clutchless upshift with.

its more of a natural motion for your foot.
