What I mean is using a lot of throttle in 4:th, 5:th or 6:th gear from slow speeds.

It's mentioned in the article that due to the much larger torque of the engine Hartech thinks that people also use this instead if shifting down.......
Oh, Thank you so much.

Here is the link to the Hartech page. It's a long but interesting document touching driving and also IMS and bore scoring issues.

In 10-20 years, nobody will know how to drive a car period!

I think a great book to check out in addition to the docs referenced above is Vic Elford's Porsche High-Performance Driving Handbook.

Trying to add the link in mobile but it's a PITA
so - Porsche High-Performance Driving Handbook
Amazon Amazon

It's got lots of great insight and really goes into detail from the basics - seat / steering / shifter positioning all the way up through complex skills like managing balance, cornering and a focus on smooth control specifically in Porsches.

Also peppered with some great stories and classic images.
