Knowing where to go is simply part of the sport and becomes second nature when you keep your eyes up. I usually process 3-5 elements in advance at all times.
MOST autocross courses can be done in 2nd gear, I even won an entire state championship in 1st gear in Miami...I just had the car that could run that fast in 1st. I've done autocrosses in mid-Florida where I've needed 3rd, and at the Bay Bottom Crawl, I need 4th, especially now.
Now that I may even do my launches in 2nd gear, it'll almost always be zero shifting for me now.
