I find it the only way to get the 1-2 shift as smooth as possible without having to wait for the revs to drop and delay your speed increase (between 1-2 shift) is if you shift out of 1st gear at low rpms (under 2500). Basically just to get the car moving then pop into 2nd immediately. If i let 1st gear go up pass 3K rpm I find it annoying I either have to slip the clutch longer to match the rpms or wait for the rpms to drop on its own which in the meantime your speed increase has stalled temporarily. I hate when this happens because then the car behind you is right up on your ass unless you take off aggressively initially giving yourself some gap.
