Wow. Yes, there's very little in it when you view it like that.
With standard gearing, DJ never uses 1st and only uses 5th once, I think. I'd 'optimised' my gearing as with what is effectively a rolling start, you can afford to lengthen 1st to the point where it is usable in low speed corners and shorten 5th so that it also comes into play. I'm not sure that the extra gear changes and torque demands helped in terms of low speed traction though.
