OK, let's not whore up Kevin's good post anymore. Let it die again. Over and out.

Really what the hell is up with this week and old threads being brought up. Holy crap. Lock this thread.

Well, in reality, the reason I post these things is so they can be discussed. So I don't mind old threads like this being brought up again for further discussion since thats the whole point, though the motives in this case may be less than ideal I have plenty of patience for the noobs, I was one too once. I'd rather see KE post, and if no one is interested no one replies, rather than 8 more posts about how old the thread is.

To answer the post, I don't think that double clutching was ever though to be beneficial when upshifting in a race, aside from fast and furious, which we will leave out of this thread for my sanity's sake But in road racing double clutching while downshifting with certain gearbox absolutely is beneficial. It can even be the difference between staying on the track or ending up in the woods... Since you don't want to upset the cars balance going into a turn. For just about everyone in this forum (street driving/drag racing modern cars) it really doesn't apply, but it can still be educational to discuss it.
