Great link Xman! Very nice videos. This guy is very fast at double clutch downshifting.

***Majin*** · 12-07-2005, 08:20 AM

excellent find Xman, thanks!

Turboxer · 12-07-2005, 08:48 AM

Great find! I could always use some improvement, especially since I've only been driving a manual car for a year or so. The books and text stuff can be a bit hard to follow sometimes.

Great find Xman! I've been driving a manual since i was sixteen but learning new tips and techniques is always a plus. Yeah his double clutch downshift is very fast. Thanks for the link!

That isn't Gary Sheehan, it's some guy named Greg Heumann and he looks like a marginal driver to me.

EDIT - now I see the vids from Gary - thanks bro!

Is that the video of the guy in the M5? If so I have the whole thing saved on one file. i.e. all the separte parts are just one non stop video. The only thing is that a lot of things he talks about just applys to the M5, a car with TONS of low end torque and a weak clutch, so keep that in mind while watching it. If I can e-mail it to someone so we can all watch it, let me know.
