no mate, standard H pattern, you have to use the clutch as that sends the signal to the ecu to cut ignition, but you hold 100% throttle, push clutch, change gear and pull clutch up whilst keeping your foot flat on the accelerator, bit like rubbing your belly and patting your head at first but it maintains boost keeping the butterfly open, and the by-product is flames flying out the exhaust.

there is pictures of gearboxes that have been stripped and it’s makes some really bad wear patterns on the gears and is generally not great on the boxes regarding bearings and shafts, especially on stage 3 cars running around the 450bhp mark.

i now do a Lift-No Lift Shift so basically everything for flat shift but once I’ve shown off with flames coming out the exhaust i let off the accelerator saving my gearbox and my wallet
