Fundamental Skills of Heel-and-Toe

This is a more complete and revised version of a shorter demonstration video I made on the heel-and-toe technique back in May.

This demonstration video summarizes and demonstates the fundamental skills involved and how the combined skills are used to master the heel-and-toe technique. The exercise numbers (#1-11) reference the written version of the 20-exercise guide by Garage Woolery. The remaining 9 exercises are advanced versions of the first 11.

Exercise 21: Ignore flashing red lights on dashboard

I use heel toe every single day just to slow down. Best technique for any application of driving

@hbomb619 You can use it on the road but where it really comes into play is on a track. You can use it to brake and slow down before a corner and while your slowing down you engage a lower gear so when exiting the corner your rpms are in the powerband, and you can accelerate out of a corner faster.

@ltmcae your such a badass man

[ltmcae]

But good technique, hard to do on my car

[ltmcae]

just funny how you shift at about 4000 rpm and I shift my mustag at 2000 rpm while still having plenty of power

The reason is to not take your foot of the break and still change down the box. If you didn't match revs it would unsettle the car/grip and Put strain on the engine. It's a good skill to have. If you are cornering and have no need to change gear then left foot breaking is the best choice. That needs practice.

I'm gonna get myself a pair of Piloti's pretty soon if everyone doesn't sell out of them.
