i30n clutch sticks to the floor a bit too long on quick shifts

Hey,
I just recently bought a used 56k pre facelift i30n performance and I love it so.far, but a small annoyance has come up.
When i let my foot off the clutch very quickly the clutch moves a bit with my foot and then sticks for a very short moment and snaps up fully.
Just enough to make it feel noticable. Is this just how it is in that car, or am I looking at potential hydraulic issues?

In all other cars I've driven the clutch would just follow my foot smoothly, no matter what speed.
 
I've experienced the same thing. I find if I'm lifting my foot from the clutch quickly, sometimes the clutch is slower to rise than my foot which is weird.

Manufacturers use a clutch delay valve to protect the clutch system so it's probably this. I've not seen any solutions on the i30N but some other cars have clutch delay valve removal kits available on the aftermarket. Maybe one day
