The Flemish Clog Dancing module was dropped several semesters ago following advice from the HSE in conjunction with the Department of Children,School,Families & Domestic Pets.

Re: Monoposto newbie, help required

.......so whatever are you doing heeling & toeing with a dog engagement gearbox?....you'll go quicker & have better control of the car if you just dab the clutch & select the gear you want as quick as you can.
