I'm sure people can tell you locations of such stupidly-designed intersections near where they live. I'll start you off with the one near where I'm. Southbound Whites Rd and Sheppard in Pickering.

Double-clutching really slows you down at the track, but it's a good habit to have when you are not in a hurry. It feels wrong to just jam the gearbox into a lower gear.

2nd, double clutching was around before syncronized transmissions were even built

3rd, double clutching has nothing to do with heel and toe downshifting

4th, I have never double clutch shifted on the track unless my transmission was hurt

5th double clutching on the street is fine it saves some wear on the syncro's but thats about it.

I always wonder why those racer do double-clutch heel-toe instead of just heel-toe...
