not every stage, they can change the gearbox if it breaks down, they change it in 20min

HA i want a job there!

They change to new parts every round.

Isn't the rev match what really helps the synchros? If you rev match properly, they hardly have to do anything, what does double clutching do to help?

When you double clutch, you spin the engine AND the transmission at the same speed. when you just rev match your only matching engine speed. as far as why double clutching is better for the synchro's im not positive, but i know it does help (although much less on a car with synchro's than a car without them).

If this is the video I think it is (can't watch it at the office), one of the reasons he might be double clutching is because that car might have a dogbox...or at least that is what I was told a couple years ago when I asked the same question. To double clutch that fast I would imagine you also need a proper clutch setup.

and i was worried that it was a re-post

when your doing double clutch, don't take your foot off the pedal. you just need to raise it till you get to the zone where the clutch would normally grab and mash it down again.

practice makes perfect.... or practice makes Gary Sheehan

in this day and age double clutching is not necessary. the car in the vid tho, i dunno
