See, that's the complete opposite for me.

Driving on the street, I obviously keep the revs lower, when I go to blip (say 4th gear at 40 mph) the engine is in the bog RPM and you really need to get a hard blip to get the needle up.

On the track, the RPM is always 3k+, so just a slight tap and the RPM shoots up. That's why I try to brake, clutch in and blip early (while RPM is relatively high) and finishing braking.
