Rev Hang Delete Tune
Alright everyone, so it's 2020 and I know Volkswagen/Ford owners have access to this kind of tune. Has anyone in the Mini community bothered to try? For more info on what I'm talking about, check this link out:

It's not an advertisement but it basically explains the occurance of how the revs "hang high" after pushing the clutch in which means you either shift slowly or you just let the car eat it and it jerks a bit.

It would be nice, and I sure hope someone figures it out. The last three Minis I have owned and autocrossed demanded a lazy shift for smoothness.
So I have adapted, as follows...
1. I do not drag race, and I also do not haul butt from stoplight to stoplight - that's not why I love Minis.
2. When autocrossing, I make my 1-2 shift a bit early, and I make it quickly, and that's about the only time I stress the clutch - a necessary evil. There's a bit of wheelspin in 2nd gear, so I have to feather the gas sometimes.
3. On the Dragon, I'm in 3rd. That's it. An autocross on steroids.
4. Around town, and on public roads, I never rush a gear change - since I learned on MGs and Jaguars I still double-clutch, usually during upshifts and always during downshifts. I run with DSC off, so the car does not argue during rev-matching.
5. Accelerating to highway speed is one gear change, and there's really no need to rush. I'll short shift to 3rd on the ramp and that means 70+ is only a few seconds away.
I know it sounds racy to rip through the gearbox, but for me the lazy shift is only a minor inconvenience in a car that is magnificently road-worthy.
Je's my two bits. ;-)
Cheers,
Charlie

Fixable in other cars:
Overrun throttle compensation (OTC) = 0% (compared to factory setting of 100%).
Fuel cut delay (in milliseconds)
1st gear = 15,
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears = 0
(compared to factory setting of 100, 60, 60, 60, 60). via https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...-2013-fit.html
Considering a mini, but there seem to be far fewer options to remove the hang
