I have run it both ways a few times. T1 can be tricky but isn't nearly as bad as you might think. I'd say I enjoy it just as much CCW as CW. When T1 (CW) becomes T11 (CCW) , it's a ton of fun just railing it out onto the straight. It's also nice the switch up the 270 and give your other side some practice turning. Tire wear is similar on both I think.
