That impreza did Very well to stay in front and then try and keep up with you I know how quick you and the car are so it was surprising to see how well the Subaru was going, looked like he was out for a Sunday drive for while hardly even sliding.

Awesome car. Do you ever find you have to be careful letting the clutch out on downshifts without blipping it?

that my biggest problem driving this car, lot to learn toe & heel a bit better

[jossronchetti]

I find heel and toeing does not make any difference on the Sunbeam, on some other cars I drive, like Craig Davies's 65 Corvette, it is complulsary to heel and Toe, otherwise shes locks the rear end on every downshift.

I was going to say, i've had some outings in historic touring cars (pre-'66), and in those you have to heel and toe, it helps so much in being able to brake later. Never driven anything with a sequential box so was curcious, thanks!

[jossronchetti]

Its not a sequential in the Sunbeam, its an H Pattern 6 speed Hewland Dogbox, the same box that was fitted to the BMW World Touring Cars, like Mat Jackson's one in the BTCC a few seasons ago. It works better the faster you slam it into the next gear. Up the box the clutch is not really needed, just a slight lift.
Down the box I use the clutch though, to enable controlled engine breaking.
