Just thought I'd post this up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdWSyrqEnE4
It's like he's dancing on the pedals, so epic 
And one last thing, I'll be seriously impressed if anyone can tell me why he's left foot braking.... 
Ruan you probably know because you just know everything, so keep quiet for a bit

Hmmm why would he left foot brake...?
Is he keeping temperature in the brakes?
Or is he trying to fool the driver behind into thinking he is braking earlier than he actually is? I like to use this technique on the motorway to scare tailgaters!
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

He's tapping the brake pedal with his left foot to 'prime' the brakes ready for a big stop, drivers will do this to ensure the brakes first of all are still working (they'll get even 0.1% of a feeling from that quick stab) and also to seat the pads up close to the disk ready for the big stop. Saves time and builds confidence.

Ok, big clue, is he left foot braking?
It's not to do with temperatures, or 'ghost braking' for the benefit of people behind. If you'd watched v8 supercars, you would know they don't pussy about, if someone brakes too early, they literally become the braking zone...!!

I would say, but as this is a public domain, I would have every security agency from MI6 and the FBI to LIDL's security turning up at my door....

he uses clutch for 1st and 2nd only due to torque transfer ruining the drive plate in those gears...imo

He's left foot braking because his brake engineer is shit?
The clutch for the lower gears is because the gearchange takes longer in the lower gears due to the larger gear spacing and gearbox inertia, it's probably slow enough for him to kick the clutch to help reduce dog wear, with the faster changes further up the box you'd just wear the clutch and take longer to change gear (increasing wear on the dogs), so you don't bother.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.
Top engine mount repair/reinforcement/chocking for cracked chassis and high powered cars, drive in, drive out, 2 hour turnaround.
