Your post has 2 segments (a question and a comment) that I will attempt to address:

1. Your question is valid, legitimate and quite appropriate. Before providing a response, I do concede the following:
a) Is it necessary? Of course, NOT; b) In fact, it slows you down on the track (hell, most, if not all, GT3 cup cars and GT3 RSR have sequential gearboxes now (correct me if I am wrong); and c) this technique most likely induces increased wear and tear in the clutch.

Then why in the wolrd am I doing this? Simply because, for ME, it is fun and I enjoy it in my daily driving. BTW, the 90% applies to my daily driver, the GT3 is not the one. I certainly did not intend to suggest or reccommend anyone else to do this.

2. The second portion was a statement that provides affirmation of your legendary talent of limited ability to suppress your uncotrollable urge to lecture others. Any true enthusiast, perhaps even the one with limited cognitive ability, knows about the the function of synchronizers.

I do appreciate your question. However, I do not wish to pursue this discourse any further.

Warmest Regards,
