Re: Double clutching is a techique developed a long time ago when
transmissions didn't have syncros. It's no longer required and just wastes time. The rev matching used today is only done to save excessive wear of the clutch. The technique now taught in racing schools is "heal and toe" This is done by simultaneously braking with your right foot, depressing the clutch with your left foot, and rolling the right foot over to the throttle and blipping it to match the engine RPMs to the new lower gear while you shift. This technique is mainly used when slowing down for a turn because shifting while your braking doesn't cost you any time and gets the car set up before entering the turn.

Re: I would avoid it . It's very hard on the syncros. Not only
should you not clutchless shift, you should not practice partial depressing of the clutch for the same reason. The first sign that your syncros are going is that "notchy" feeling when you sift. Then comes the grinding.

Here is the problem with heel toe shifting in the TT
When you touch the brakes, the ECU actually changes the engine timing to reduce torque, thereby defeating anything gained by heel-toe shifting....

Yeah, but you don't need that excess TQ to get the revs to match in the next gear
You just have to push the go pedal harder or for a longer time to get it to match revs. Remeber your not doing it to low the car down, but to put it into the gear you need to accellerate the hardest out of the corner.
Brakes for years can slow a car down much faster than a engine can, even though they needed it before in racing.
