Brian --- I've been waiting for you to chime in!! Because I know you left foot brake.

You're driving at a "professional level" -- you've done this for YEARS and you drive OFTEN.

The average guy that drives 3 or 4 events a year tries a clutchless downshift in a dog box car.... and he'll have his hands full in a hurry.

I just barely disengage the clutch on downshifts - rev match - select a gear and get ready to be back in the throttle. Even then I mess it up! LOL

It is natural for her to left foot brake on the track.
As far as using the clutch with a Jericho or G-Force or similar type transmission, I rarely use the clutch up or down shifting. Here is a video of me driving my Camaro and not using the clutch while left foot braking and downshifting.
