There's a lot ways to skin this cat.

I go from about 105 to 55. I used to just pretend I was downshifting twice (two blips) and go 3-5, without putting it into 4th.

You could always just literally downshift twice.

Then I tried to just brake, clutch in for a second and blip right at turn in and go to 3rd. At the end of the day, I just want to come out in 3rd gear at about 4000rpm or so. I found it was easier to look at it that way. Let the clutch out when I get the rpm up. But with a longer braking zone, the rpm would drop to near idle and it took a lot of blip to get it up high enough while I was trailing off, so I didn't like that. Now I'm back to dual blips.


edit: I can't figure out how to just make it a link that starts at the right time, but at about 1:20 on the lap timer (1:27 or so on youtube) you can hear the "dual blip"
