>> why are many successful drivers not doing it?

Because in IT even those of us who are winning are not getting 100% out of the car or ourselves at all times.
Be honest now!

This is precisely my point. I technically double clutch now, because I had to with the skippy cars, but I can tell a difference on how smooth the car is. I go brake ->clutch->neutral->clutch->blip->gear->clutch.

So I in a production car I am pretty sure I am doing much more than neccessary and I believe I am loosing time screwing around and thinking about this sometimes. Can't I just go to brake->clutch->blip->gear->clutch?

Oh an yes Jeff I ask questions, but I still know I have much to learn so I ask. I am not afraid to say I am a rookie still.
