Fascinating footwell video of a V8 Supercar lap. The car has an ignition cutout on the upshift so the foot stays flat on the accelerator during the gear change. The heel and toe (clutch in and engine blip) is something you will not see in pretty much any racing series now, but they wanted it to stay in Supercars.

@sullybiker I feel like that ignition cutout would be pretty cool to have in a street-going car. A lot of motorcycles have quickshifters that do more or less the same thing.

@tk Motorcycles with the non synchromesh gears move a very small amount, it's such a great and simple design that allows all these things.
