Double clutching is:
1. press in the clutch
2. Move shifter from gear to neutral
3. release clutch
4. depress clutch
5. Move shifter to desired gear
6. relese clutch

It was needed (as still is) in old transmissions that didn't have syncros to match the rpm's.

What you want to learn to do for racing is the Heel/Toe shift. Blipping the throttle while down shifting so that it won't upset the balance of the car while turning.
