DONT forget the art of double clutching while brake
(HEEL and TOE)
This is an essential to road racing so you dont destroy your cars clutch and transmission
1. ok 3rd gear your sitting at say 5000 rpm
2. Braking point varies upon the corner entry
3. ok now down shift.... your still braking ok no problem
4. now you really have to know your cars difference in torque ratios between gears
ok say your at 3000rpm 3rd ger you want to go to 2nd
ok slightly depress the clutch to put the tranny in nuetral. with your toe on brake rev the with the heal to your rpm of 2nd gear going at the speed you are traveling or 4000rpm (mine has a 1000 rpm difference between gears) ok depress the clutch and feel how easay it goes in
remember double clutching is about saving th elife of your transmission by matching the input speed the engine to the out put speed ...tranny)
you'll soon find if your get good at it you dont have to ride the clutch very long when your down shift and the car will down shift without and lugging or kicking
