i noticed that too, the brakes seem alot closer to the driver than the gas so it does take some practise, but after experimenting with it for a while, i heel-toe all the time down into 2nd now, and i realized that "blipping" the throttle doesn't work at all, you have to hold the gas pedal down for a little longer than you would usually to get the revs up to rise...it should solve the trick...

p.s. If you wonder why a short blip of the throttle wont raise the revs much, next time your sitting in your car parked and in neutral, smash the gas pedal to the floor really quickly and let go and do this as fast as you can....the revs will barely get up there!
