With that quite unusual behavier of torque for a petrol engine, it makes sense to shift the gears short, almost like a diesel engine and in combination with a 7-speed gearbox, that could explain, why they have so unusual shifts.

If that's a car with high torque next year then the LMP1 cars could be very slow! The Porsche in the vid didn't look very quick at all and that's why I'm not sure this will be the proper sound.
