Sounds like you are changing gear without lifting the throttle? While 
this may give you a very small increase in lap times cos the revs 
remain higher while changing, they also blow the engine on a regular 
basis, and usually pretty quickly too?

Try changing gears after lifting off the throttle for a split second, 
and see if that improves the reliablity of the engine & gearbox?
