hey bro too help u out u should press the brake first before clutching

[F2OOOGT]

@wagaiznogoud - if you brake before shifting, you will slow down the transmission RPM speed as well totally defeating the purpose of this technique which is to get RPM higher to match a lower gear. :)

testicle cam for the win

@F2OOOGT Also you know why you need to downshift? Thats right, you need to slow down! That means you need to slow the transmission down. Then use the brake first! The reason why you are blipping the throttle is to increase the "ENGINE" rpm to match up with transmission speed. You are not increasing the transmission speed in the process because you are slowing the car down. Gee not sure if it makes sense to you.

@F2OOOGT lol you sure you know why you need to heel toe? in a race situation, why would you downshift? thats right, you need to slow down. One of the principles in racing is that, you slow down FIRST, THEN downshift.

@sneaky333333 i dont see racers press the clutch first. What u talking about?

[F2OOOGT]

@KoexX93 - in that situation, I would step on the clutch with my foot that isn't stuck, put the car into neutral, and brake with my foot that isn't stuck bringing the car to a safe stop before trying to get my other foot unstuck.

@F2OOOGT

so lets say u get used to that.. and u heel and toe in a common situation ... and your foot gets stuck between the brake and gas pedal... what then? u die? or?

@dustmiller65 it's to match the revs on a down shift

[dustymiller65]

I don't get this; what is really going on here? Like, what technique is this for? Accelerating quickly and decelerating quickly without using a lot of brake pedal, or is this supposed to be (correctly done) smooth shifting?

(Sorry to be a 'tard about this but I don't drive stick but I know I can do this. I drive a motorcycle so I'm familiar with the clutch. All I need to do is apply this to the car--thanks for being patient.)

lol ur technique and trainers are the same as takumi's from initial d

[wagaiznogoud]

@F2OOOGT Hey bro im sorry to tell you that pressing the clutch first before brakes is not the optimum way of heel toe. When you press the clutch first your rpm drops faster than breaking. And thats what i meant in the statement previous to this. I see that you want to break late, then just break late you dont need to press the clutch and wait longer to blip the throttle. just press the clutch and breaks simultaneously, but break a little before.

[F2OOOGT]

@ToreDL87 - agreed, plus it's the last line in this movie for a reason. Until people learn how to do this and several other techniques, they are really just driving the car, not racing it. ;)
