A recent comment:
"One simply needs to practice the fine art of double-clutching and
"matching revs"!"
I have had the privilege of co-driving several times for a fellow that is a
master at this. I noticed that his gearchange technique was very fluid and
deliberate, but slow. He didn't bang between gears, as I have seen others
do. It was only after watching for several stages that I noticed that he
rarely used the clutch for any changes, up or down. His left foot was
always poised on the brake. If any of you are familiar with special-stage
rallying, you will appreciate this ability. He has driven Minis for many
years (obligatory LBC content).
