Riding the clutch
When autocrossing, is there ever a good time to ride the clutch through turns or should you always control car through the throttle and brake?

do that and you'll be accelerating the wear on clutch components, i always do the latter,
on uphill intersections, i only engage the clutch when hitting throttle.

but then again..if you like replacing clutches..its your car.
