Former. You could get up to full throttle sooner in a lower gear, but you would probably require a lot of TC not to spin the wheels.

Wow, very impressive! I've never had any success with turning off the TC myself - I simply couldn't cope with the car being so tail-happy in the lower gears. (That said, I'm actually a GP4 player, but I reckon they're much the same. I've actually played GP3 as well as a kid.)
So very well done, if you can manage that, that's definitely the quickest way around the tracks. (Check out Fernando Rees' GP4 videos, he's absolutely killing it in Imola and Interlagos, among others, without TC. He's a real-life pro as well, he's still in WEC, I believe.)
