you can hear from the engine note that they've lost their shit.

Ah yes, leaving it in 2nd gear even though the engine is screaming at them, just so they can nail the throttle at the earliest opportunity.

Embarrassingly did this in yorkshire once to an entire club run because i was afraid my banger filled with skinny climbers might stall on the hill...

Still ashamed to this day.

I used to drive a car with no synchromesh between 1st and 2nd gear. Deciding at the bottom of the hill whether to leave it in 1st and go up at walking pace or to aim for 2nd and rally it up in order to keep the revs high enough to avoid stalling was always fun.
