NASCAR should race at Sebring.

why using the clutch? Those trans can be upshifted with a lift and downshifted with a blip. Does it extend the life to use the clutch?

[@LarryLinton]

Definitely takes some of the shock load out of the gear change but then as you say the gearbox is designed to work without a clutch .

[@alexandrecournoyer-gagnon2305]

these things are expensive to rebuild lol

[@dibarel]

the very good road course guys use the clutch to balance out the car with basically cutting the power. The clutch for downshifting is used to also balance the car as it eases into the gear instead of just slamming it if you drive it like a normal dogbox

What happened to the car in front of him?

[@drnoise]

Appears to have just missed the braking point for the turn and locked one of the brakes up. That looked to be just tire smoke. Then, bailed on a run off area to get it slowed down and out of the way safely.
