It's all relative really. In something like a ZR1 which has the power for big speeds, you can get speed up with a long first, then have shorter 2-> gears, rather than having a shorter first but longer gearing overall (and less acceleration) up to v-max. But in an ITR where there's not the power (or need) for a big top whack, you just make 'em all short.
