Watch some races....they dont sit on the clutch when they brake in corners, they use the engine/brakes.

Most current race cars use sequential dog-gear style transmissions which only hammer O-cha's point further. The clutch is used to get the car moving, but between gear shifts up and down only a momentary release of the gas is required to prevent torque transfer from gear to gear. The engine remains loaded except for a brief second for gear changes.
