The drag strip gearing is best for ONLY straight lines. If you’re tuning for a track/Circuit, it’s totally different. You don’t tune for the straights, you tune the gears for cornering. Tune them for the best Accel ans stability out of corners. Also no, the 0-60 times are a lot different than the drag strip to the track, why? Because the strip has a lot more grip = shorter launching gear!

And make sure you run a few laps with telemetry on. Getting the shift points at the drag strip won’t really get you where you want to be when dynamically moving through turns and randomly shifting up/down the way you would at a track. When you’re shifting on the drag strip, you’re shifting at the same MPH every time so you’re always hitting the same rpg when the next gear starts. When you’re on the track you could need to downshift ad very different MPH every time. So when that next gear starts to work again, it could be hitting +/- 1000 RPM of what you tuned it for and so it won’t perform the way you thought it would when you got it dialed in on the drag strip.
In short, do the same gear tuning method you are doing now with telemetry, only do it on the track you’re trying to hotlap WHILE your trying to hotlap it. Then set your final gear to top out on the longest stretch of straight road on the track.
