cool sounds while shfting

I was just watching this and the sound the car makes while shifting is awesome (at least for me). How do they achieve it?

sounds like he's flat shifting. (not letting off the gas and letting the engine hit the limiter and then shifting fast)

Nice driving!
I admire people who develop that kind of skill and competence in handling a car on a track.

I think he's letting off. Imho hes just got 2 or 3 times the power. There's more going on....much more responsive than the standard 106hp Yaris like mine. And you can hear it.

Our gearbox is great. Like that one in the video. Our engine just doesn't respond like that.

Thats the feeling i got in a FiestaST when I drove one.

Someone here should be able to tell us whether that Yaris in the video has a Turbo or not...some of the off/on throttle noise could be a waste gate maybe?

That sound is made when you shift with the gas all the way(flat shifting/power shifting).
