This is hampering my enjoyment - in my humble opinion proper cars should be driven that way - especially race cars !

Anyone else got the same issue & anything that can be done about it ?

Thanks

Not sure why you need to double de-clutch with a fully syncromesh box. Maybe you just mean bliiping the throttle to get a smoother down change [Linked Image]

FWIW I have no trouble heel and toeing to get adequate blip for down change when approaching bend or roundabout, despite dual mass flywheel on 3.7 Roadster.
