Question clutch sticking after aggressive driving

It has been mentioned a few times before but i dont think anyone diagnosed the cause of the problem. it's basically when the clutch pedal goes soft and sticks to the bottom and you have to actually lift the pedal upwards with your foot. this problem seems to occur after aggressive driving like repeated drag racing or driving on the track probably due to heat build up in the clutch. last sunday i was on the track and even though you only upshift and downshift once in the entire lap, i did get the sticking clutch after a prolonged session of driving. i had to lift it up with my foot. i pulled into the pits and the problem went away, but i left the track right after that.

so, has there been any progress in identifying this problem or a remedy? is it the slave cylinder? or the pressure plate?
