Yep he is "double de clutching" which is basicaly sticking the the box in neutral betwean changes, whilst letting the clutch in, then de pressing the clutch and selecting a higher gear. Supposed to put less stress on older style gear boxes. The actual engine soundtrack used was a Ford GT40 so the technique was most probably highly desirable when using the race gearbox.
