NO!
If you're into track, only one thing can make you a better driver continuously: PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
Shifting and the art of shifting is just one aspect of driving properly.
There are two schools presently in the country providing excellent training: Kookie Ramirez' school in Subic and the Tuason Brothers' School at the Batangas Racetrack (BRC). Kookie has a full day curriculum and that you have to have your own car with you. The Tuason School has a two-day curriculum and that you get to drive their Ford Lynx prepped cars.
My car club has a customized curriculum that Kookie Ramirez will teach this coming April.

I'm a member of the BMWClubPhils. The driving session I was referring to will be on April 3 at Subic sponsored by the club. It will be presided by Kookie Ramirez. The curriculim was patterned after the driving curriculum of BMW M Sport as requested by the club. The session will be for the whole day.
You can attend the regular school there at Subic if you're not a member of the BMWClub. They are open for enrollment. The Tuason bros. also have an excellent school at Batangas (BRC) and you get to use their Lynx prepped cars.
