I think he is doing a lot of left foot braking....so it makes it sound like the gear ratios are closer. Left braking is not allowing the revs to drop.

Just my thought.

wow lots of nice saves! Great driving and really fast shifting..It seems like when he's braking he just puts the clutch in, pops it in gear, and lets off the clutch without heel toe...is there too much stuff going on to be able to rev match?

Yea, he's left foot braking like crazy. The thing that's awesome to me about Finland, is the speed is just so high. There are a few races where we have very fast stages here in the US, STPR and Snodrift. I guess they have some very fast stages in Nevada and Missouri also, but Finland just seems so flat out.
