I am curious though... I rarely use my clutch to pull the car out of gear, I only use the clutch for this when on decel. But if you were planning a downshift, I find that I pull the car out of gear, then apply clutch to get the tranny into a lower gear.
I'm guessing the circumstances during a race would be different, to make the double clutch a more 'economical' means of hitting the downshift?
