  • anyone know what shoes those are?

  • @mcorwin129 puma

  • hey i have a question. why do you double clutch, but when u heel toe you dont? if you dont do it in heel toe then cant u just rev match downshift

  • The pedals seem so soft....

  • I'm so sad at the fact that they don't make cars like this anymore.

  • One word needed...SLOW

  • damn...even the pedals on this car look sexy haha...

  • why do all these race car drivers wear pumas....seriously whats wrong with a pair of converse??

  • @loodabeast because theres not much support on the bottoms which could hinder your driving. Converse are too soft of a shoe to race with. Puma's are made to have a more sturdy sole so you keep control of where the pedals are better

  • @goo722 yeah now that you mention that it make good sense thanks 

  • Amazing...

    They just don't make supercars like these anymore.

  • Somebody please tell me, why he is kicking the gas while downshifting. I dont get it at all.

  • @bangsheep read the title. HEEL-TOE DOWNshifting. its a sport driving technique. u rev match to keep the tranny and engine spinnin at the same rate. u want the rpms n the right place basically

  • @n8bolton okay thanks

  • i swear, i had an invisible steering wheel for like half of the video.

  • Am I wrong, or is he pressing gas pedal before the clutch? I know it should be done brake, then clutch and gas, but watched it closely several times (at 2:02 for example) and I'm pretty sure he presses gas before pressing clutch.

    I 'm going to learn this technique, at the moment I'm at stage of practising rev-matching. However its really awkwardly uncomfortable in my Citroen ZX, as the gas pedal is much further than brake and I need to press it pretty hard to rev engine high enough (it's diesel)

  • You stupid American fags will you please stop talking about double clutching, it's pointless unless you're driving a fucking model t or something. You've obviously driven a manual for 5 minutes or less so fuck off.

  • @fookfocketyfookfook

    I wonder who's actually talking nonsense about manuals to be honest

  • @2005pierric Well then go learn something and figure it out for yourself

  • @fookfocketyfookfook

    I actually drive a manual everyday and with worn synchros ... double clutching is useful on an old gearbox fort instance...

  • @2005pierric How convenient. How did your synchros get worn? How about getting your gearbox reconditioned? I used to use the suction cup from a GPS to raise my electric window when the regulator went. But that's not a good idea unless your window is fucked and you're about to fix it.

  • @fookfocketyfookfook

    it's just an old car ;)

    and getting synchros reconditionned is a wee bit expensive for me... and double clutching prevents synchros from worning out... that's the point of double clutch on old gearbox. So please stop bashing people who are in fact saying true facts about manuals ;)

  • @2005pierric So it's not faster then.. I can give you a great example of good double clutching: You arrive at a McDonalds drive-thru in 2nd, and depress your clutch to stop, putting your gearbox in neutral, applying the handbrake and releasing the clutch. You get a bic-mac meal (go large), with twisty fries, then depress your clutch to put your gearbox in first and drive away. Well done, just like the fast and the furious.

  • @fookfocketyfookfook

    you're just like your youtube nickname... useless ;)

  • @fookfocketyfookfook double clutching is actually not that ancient. and its still a frequently taught and instructed tequnique. great concept and skill to understand if u drive a non-syncroized transmission or an 18-wheeler

  • 0:24 is it me or did he shift into the wrong gear?

  • Comment removed

  • More like toe-toeing :D

  • I thought that you only had to double clutch when slowing down so as to match the speed of the transmission with the motor?? If you were accelerating full throttle and hit the shift point of the car you were driving.. you could just switch without the double clutch because the motor and transmission speed would already be matched right?? Or am I missing something??

  • those are AWESOME driving shoez!

  • Love the sound of the GT, sounds like it's shredding the pavement and passing it through the turbos atomized, then spitting it back out angrily. Yea. Sexy. The downshifts were nice too.

  • @birdoopp

    Don't fully comprehend what you have said, but I agree!!

  • @birdoopp No turbos on the GT naturally aspirated.

  • its the toe and toe technique lol but good job man..

  • @jarrod918~ haha....toe 'n' toe!

  • what is the name of your shoes ? :D

  • @allgtr2

    PUMA! ;)

  • very dificult car to heel and toe in, the revs die VERY quickly due to the light flywheel. Requires better timing than heel and toeing in most cars.

  • i dont understand the whole concept with heel toe?? and revmatching!!! someone help?!!??

  • its a technique used in manual transition cars to make a downshift as smooth as possible. think about it this way. you know how when you down shift you gain more revs, this puts strain on the engine and unbalances the car. rev matching puts it at those higher revs before the shift is complete. smoother = faster.

  • i heard that its a tecnique to keep the rear wheels from locking cause it causes spinouts

  • nope mate that's not heel toe

  • He doesn't heel and toe on every downshift but he definately does on some. Heel and toe is just the name of the technique, but you don't have to necessarily place the heel on the gas and the toe on the brake... I'm saying this because his heel and toe technique is diferent and you might be thinking is something else? He double clutches and heel and toes here. I guess his foot is really wide that he doesn't have to literaly "heel and toe" like everyone thinks it should be done...

  • Heel and toe doesn't neccessarily mean heal on brake, toe on gas. If the pedals are far apart then yes. If they are close enough together, what the hell does it matter. The point is that you are working both pedals at the same time with one foot.

  • @seniorjohnl Toe on brake...Heel in on throttle.

  • granny shiftin aint double clutchin like u should...you never had me...you never had your car man. lol srsly tho nice footwork.

  • Haha ok Dom

  • fake

  • lol what is ?

  • Hey you guys... look for some man named AYRTON SENNA... =)

    You're all gonna know what im talking about!

  • can someone tell me what exactly this guy is doing wrong? I see the heel toe stuff, and its decent, but its not really wrong. And I dont know about anyone else, but when this guy misses that shift about :23, then shifts down twice with the rev matching, it sounds AMAZING

  • He heel/toes the same way I do but you are *really* supposed to use your heel to hit the gas, not your pinky toe. His technique is better for long footed drivers so....

    Another thing he does wrong is he will occasionally downshift two gears with only one blip of the throttle. Should be two blips, two gears. I skip that too.

  • you can skip gears, if you blip it into the right rpm zone. thats what i heard. i never skip gears, but just saying.

  • The King of H&T is Walter Rohl in the Audi Quattro !!

    Sieg Heil to Porsche !!

    Rich guy owned CGT

  • nice Double Clutching and H&Ting

  • it wasn't a double clutching...he rev-match downshifted twice at 0:26.

  • lol there was no double clutching...

  • indeed there wasn't ;)

  • @xitup1 where in the description did he promise double clutching.

  • Just watched this video again and I see no sign of clutch slippage, just pure clutch riding. He isn't the worst driver, but not someone you should try learning from.

  • yeah exactly, I agree, not a good teacher of the HT !

    but this sound !!! so beautiful , thx for posting

  • That was poor heal-toe aka rev-matching. He was riding the clutch, I don't think the clutch was slipping, most people can't match the engine speed to the clutch engagement too well at all... takes a lot of skill and I am a very well respected driver in Northern VA and also build some of the fastest street cars known to man so don't try to be a douche and tell me I am wrong, that was really poor driving.

  • IF you can match the engin to the road speed you don't need the clutch at all.

  • Comment removed

  • I am from NOVa never heard of u

  • nice video

  • What does that do?

  • It prevents the tires from locking, thus meaning that you wont upset the traction between the tires and the surface, its an essensial tecnique in Motorsports.

  • Just a quick question nice Double Clutching and H&Ting, But THOSE ARE FUCKING SICK SHOES!, you wouldn't happen to have the name of the shoe would you?

  • looks kinda like puma ducati testastretta

  • Listne to the first 2 shiftdowns dumbass. He accleretes but doesn't release the clutch. When it's released you can here the engine revving thus clutch slipping,.. i don't care if its god whos driving clutch slips

  • it does indeed,

    plus it is NOT walter rohl ! It was Laurent chevalier

  • clutch is slipping too much

  • what the fuck are you talking about!?!! It's WALTER ROHL driving!! The GREATEST driver of all time

  • it is NOT walter rohl ! It was Laurent chevalier

  • in a car like that, heel toe shifting is not that difficult, but with `normal´ cars its verry hard... my gas pedal is about 10 cm away from the brake pedal...

  • I'd do anything to learn how to shift half as well as you do! I've got an RS4 and just can't ever seem to heel toe as it seems like the brake pedal and gas are very awkwardly placed.

    Bit too far apart or sth. Any advice on overcoming this problem? Much appreciation! Btw your such a great driver!

  • I didn't find the RS4 pedals wrongly placed, is it the last version of the RS4 or the previous model ? I tried on the last RS4, well i think there's a new one about to be launched, but the one before

  • I've got the B7 Audi RS4 built from 2007 to 2008 model. You can prlly tell the model since I've got a video up on my profile, but I tried it again and I'm beginning to think that the brake is either too high or the gas pedal is too far

  • yup that's the model i'v trued, honestly, it works fine, just practice the way you prefer, either using litterally your heel or just like i do, the right end of the toe... But it's clearly possible on your RS4 ;)

  • Most road cars have that problem since they are designed around evryday ergonomics (i.e none racing types). Porsche tend to offset the brake and throttle so they are closer together, TVR do it as well as Caterham and various others. On some cars you may find you have to use the older style of heel and toe which means a bit more leg/ ankle turning. Serach for 'How much fun can an Aerial Atom be' - that kind of shows it.

  • What happened at 2:21-2:24? Something unexpected pop up?

  • The rear started to slide ;)

  • Ha ha, nice one holding that thing together. Apparently you need to treat the Carrera GT's clutching differently? I have been looking around and everywhere keeps just saying it's difficult but gives no details on how you have to use it differently. Can you to explain to me? I know I'll most likely never get the chance to drive one, but I am just curious.

  • Well apparently it has a very light flywheel added with a racing clutch, very short pedal reponse...

  • So I guess it is pretty much on or off. Thanks for the info!

  • 2005pierric.  The clutch is a racing style clutch, twin plate silicon Carbide unit which makes the pedal travel very short and since it weighs less than 4kg the engine response is also very sharp.

    The downside is that it takes a bit more finesse and the average driver may stall it more often when pulling away (unless they are used to it.

  • Good job.

  • What shoes are those?

  • french puma racing shoes

  • puma is german... but nvm, nice driving :) keep it up!

  • Does anyone ever do a double clutch heal toe downshift on a corner? I saw you doing a double clutch downshift only twice. What was the reason for that (I know its not needed with synchronizers).

  • i do double clutch in some cornes on the track yes, when i awfully need to change gears on a fast cornering track ;)

  • e cosa sarebbe sto video?? quelle non sono doppiette sono cagate....

  • giving some gas between the downshifts prevents the tyres from locking while braking hard.

  • exactly ;)

  • Ex F1 driver Gerhard Berger has the same technique

  • Nice techique ... it is more ball of the foot and pinky toe than heel and toe.

    I have a MCS and that is how I heel and toe...correction that's how i try to heel and toe...nice work!

  • Thank You i understand it now!

  • Some commenters are surprised by the 'strange' heel and toe movement shown here. In fact some say tht that is not 'heel' at all, as usually you twist your foot to hit the throttle with your heel, but... if your pedals pivot on the floor, like on most supercars, you have to do as shown here because otherwise your heel would hit the pedal on the lower part, and that part does not move, so you have to hit it on the upper part. This also works well on cars where traditional heel and toe is difficult

  • nice pedals, nice sound and naic shoes

  • So you hit the brake, then throttle, then clutch, and downshift or brake, clutch, throttle, then downshift?

  • brake, clutch, throttle, then downshift

    =)

  • Are you the driver?

  • Nope, i double clutch, not just heel toe (just watch my video on my account : "AX GT 1990 accelerations et talons pointes", which means AX GT heel toe

  • So let me get this straight. You press the brake,clutch and gas while downshifting at the same time?

  • Exactly ;)

  • I'm sorry but what's the point of pressing the gas while downshifting?

  • The point is to match the rev, so your braking is more precise, and your clutch is less used.

    Every race driver knows that, it's a basic thing to do, and it's more confortable in your everyday car...

  • I guess in high alot of racing engines you can lock the driven tyres on downshifts if u just dump the clutch (compression-lockup) so as they said it smooths out the shifts and you also get the added benefit of compression braking.

  • yeah, plus you are turning into a corner. feels great when it goes perfectly, and you are using every appendage to do one or more things.

  • it is (well i thought) alot easier than it was built up to be i had an instructor talk me throught it on track and got into the groove of it the first time. if you have never done it before just try it.

  • your clutch will last 10 times longer by matching the revs on every up shift and downshift!

  • why is he pushing the gas pedal several times when he shifts during 0:25-0:33? It doesnt look like double cluting...

  • scribklu, he mis-shifted. The heel-toe looks weird.

  • When you hit the throttle on an upshift - you want to get the engine RPM;s up that when when you shift gears, there is less 'lag' in RPMs when the gear is engaged.

  • why does he blip his throttle sometimes when he up-down shiftS??

  • more link pinky and toe, no heel at all just rolling the ball of the foot, un-usual but still very good

  • thats how its done kids.

  • Esta guapo el video, pero yo creo que si que tiene espacio para hacer punta-tacon en vez de punta-punta.

    Yo si tengo que frenar ralmente fuerte soy incapaz de hacer punta-punta, necesito toda la puntera para el freno.

  • can you send me a vid of the same thing

  • Wot no Left Foot Braking?!

  • you see the clutch?thats for the left foot..not hte brake

  • Not bad. Decent technique but im sure that its magnesium clutch has a sensitive feeling. I havent had the privledge yet to drive the Carrera GT, but im sure going through the gears in a supercar like this with over 600 HP must be a nice adreneline rush. Im sure this guy was having a great time.

  • how does double-clutching on CGT feel :}

  • Good video man!!Not bad technic LOL better than mine,Surely!!i´m spanish,so i´ll do it in my lenguage please,i can´t more. ;)

    tio,buen video!! Yo de momento solo me han hecho conducir los nuevos Type-R,pero algo asi todavia no.

    :)

    Como se llaman tus puma Exactamente??porque quiero unas iguales aunque la gente diga lo q diga

  • You are verry correct. My uncle has a Carrera GT and the clutch feels way different than the one on my 911 GT3.

  • Thanks for your aprovale your uncle is holy lucky btw, in fact, you too, for having a porsche GT3 ^^

  • Yeah it's a great car but now I want to sell my 996 get the 997 GT3.

  • Have you already driven a Carrera GT ?

    If you have, you must be aware of the racing clutch it has... when you drive a Carrera GT after driving a Peugeot Partner... there are a few differences..

  • yes i drove one the clutch on it is nice ,i dont know about no peugeot .Sorry about the comment ,but i dont think u have to heel n toe, it brakes to quick for this heel n toe technic.Porsche are starting to make good cars again ,but lets see some paddles ,forget about the rules.

  • who was the dummy that lend this dude that wipe?first learn how to shift then try heel and toe big dummy.P.s. U dont know how to heel and toe ,learn how first with them puma boots

  • nice heel and toe, doing it right, cept let the clutch out a tad earlier when down shifting.

  • with every respect that sucks you are ment to be driving with 2 feet and your not ment to break hard eg break 6mph speed up 5 mph so you dont loose momentoumn

  • I know, but this porsche was following another one on the Leipzig Test track, so it had to brake early enough not to crash with the test driver. He couldnt guess what the guy in front wanted to do right ?

    I'll upload another angle, where you see why he does so...

    Moreover, the Leipzig test track has bumps uphills etc etc

  • go and drive youre moms auto piece of shit chrysler voyager, stupid yank

  • Cool Video! Nice shoes!

  • yes, I know that ^^

  • lift ure clutch earlier ...

  • crap puma's .... get some better shoes.. ( Nice heel+ toe, tho-)

  • Those are Puma racing shoes. You dont want to be driving like that in a pair of wing tips. A great number of racing drivers wear Pumas.

  • thanks man ! I might post more heel and toe vids in the forcoming days =)

  • Excellent. I am going to post a link to this, on AllFordMustangs, whenever someone asks about heel and toe downshifting.

  • Thank you very much !

  • EXCELLENT VIDEO!!
