Message	i dont know why you'd want to ride your clutch just in second. I doubleclutch once a week or so when i drive a truck at work. I dont go to the track, so someone else would be better to answer that question, but from what i understand, and from what makes more sense to me, you'd want to slow down before the corner, and accelerate out, maximizing your exit speed. Downshifting during the turn would probabilly make the car unstable, but i could be wrong. "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face... forever." -George Orwell
