Dogbox can engage at any rpm.  All you have to do to change up is to quickly lift the throttle or dab the clutch to take the load off the dogs.

How does he manage to change gears without using the clutch ?

[tohtorigyro]

@teobbb sequential gearbox, or a some other type gearbox. there is nothing similar in a race car gearbox than a road car gearbox.

[strangelamb]

@teobbb the pedal of the left isnt the clutch, are the "hand brake" in this case foot break, the car got a sequential gearbox, for 2 reasons, the first one, can change the gears faster, and the second one, a normal gearbox cant work with the power of the engine of the rally cars, will crash in the first 1km =)

@strangelamb the pedal of the left is a clutch, man..

[Ghostca]

@strangelamb You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The pedal on the left is a clutch. It is only needed to start the car or when it comes to a stop in this car.

left food braking it's easyer when you dont have to clutch to change gears... I wish I had one of these gearbox :(

[potoker9]

not really, its a technique, you can do it with or without a clutch, its just up to the person doing it, if they can.

[kosamf]

once i tried to brake with the left and... BOU! If the other car was closer there would be problems....

[BenjiMC1]

@maranelloo18 left food braking is never easy, not good to go on long journeys with an empty stomach :p
