If a remote player is applying full throttle whilst in the highest gear and then tries to shift up [without ever releasing the paddle!], it will appear for anyone who is spectating as if the racer is engaging the clutch.
Since the clutch in fact isn't engaged, the car will still be accelerating (which will appear odd for the spectators since they're under the impression of that the racer is applying the clutch).
