One of the interesting things for me after watching the video was that no mention of rev-matching was made during the BGOL reference and the clutch is brought up slowly to "smooth out" the change. Is mechanical sympathy being sacrificed in this case?

It sounds rather like it, which I find surprising, especially from somebody like CG.
On the other hand it's not the worst case of mechanical sympathy being perhaps a bit suspect. The garage people that do the work on my car were telling me the other day that they've just put the
second replacement clutch in a Peugeot 107 - and it's still only done about 6,000 miles. They've seen how the man drives the car, and it is quite clear that the problem can't be blamed on Peugeot.
Three years and 40,000 miles ago they told me that my clutch seemed to be somewhat worn - and I'm sure they were right - but the same one is still in there and working OK with the total mileage now at 147,000. I wonder what is the longest life that anybody has achieved with one clutch - not that Iexpect I'm anywhere near it.
Best wishes all,
Dave.
