Watch this great smart roadster race video.

Hope this works as it is an awesome video, the sneezing is the dump valve on every gear change and accelerator back off, really annoying, my roady is standard, without a dump valve, and twitters on the gearchange, far sweeter than that horrible sneeze.
Enjoy.

Yes the Sneezing is anowing and seemed to happen more than just durring shiftting. There was one point there it sneezed 4 times between shifts.

Looked like a lot to handle, with all the stearing and shifting. He almost lost it there a couple of times because he was trying to shift while needing to turn.

I love the fact that the Whipers came on near the end, Now that it annoying.

You don't need to change gear to get the dump valve working, if you accelerate hard and then back off the pedal it activates the wastegate to release the turbo pressure.
Great driving though, really involved course made worse with all those cones to negotiate around.

I wish I could hear the sound of my BOB(Blow off valve) (sorry, DV). my hearing isn't what it used to be. Notice how fast those shifts are ?

BTW: Thanks Evil, I got the 'Dump valve' from 'Forge" as per your recommendation, I am very pleased.

I think I read somewhere the guy driving is a frenchman, so I presume it is in france, Europe definately, as the steering wheel is on the "wrong" side, haha.

and 24-42, I did notice how fast the shifts were, they seem pretty quick, not much time lost between gears.
