Well, I just went out and tried to follow the guidance, but only 1st and 2nd gear at high revs seemed even remotely licence retaining speeds! ๐Ÿ™„ Good fun though, thanks F9.

Me too, felt like a twat cruising on a bike screaming at 7000rpm in the city. On big roads I'm at 5000rpm in the highest gear anyway so meh. Good thing to remind oneself not to lug the engine though.
