I can't take all the credit. My ECU does it, but I also do it. Basically as soon as I brake I blip it once and then shortly after. I never rely on it. I dont let the clutch out. I just want to keep the revs up since it's a long braking zone to go from 105 to 55 or so. Most braking zones are half that drop.
Because of the long braking zone, if I just clutch in the whole time, at the exit of the turn when I'm ready to let the clutch out, revs are all the way down at idle and I need to bring them all the way up to 4-5k. Two blips get it up higher/keep it up over a longer clutch-in time. IDK, maybe it's just my proficiency, but I had trouble getting the revs up from just about nothing all the way up to 4-5k at the end on a single blip- especially while I'm trying to trail off.
