@s0ggyrice people just dont understand the art of driving anymore, they like their 8 speed automatics with extremely numb power steering and traction control that never lets you floor it

I like this video! A lot of the videos I see don't have a shot of the pedals. The pedal cam helps out A LOT with learning this. The slow-mo at the end is also great. Thanks!!

@doggdoggy thank you so much

@hasoozel also like rclewis said, its a racing technique, you don't need to use that, but if want to know why you use that on race, its because before a corner, the driver needs all of car's braking capability, so he uses the downshifting to help braking, using the force to rev up the engine to slow the car, but if you simply clutch and shift down, you have the chance to lock your tires, so you blip the throttle to make it smooth

my car is so old and the pedal placement is so bad i cant even properly heal and toe.... but i do it anyway :)

@hasoozel If you downshift often and are at a higher rev range when doing so it is beneficial to use heel-toe to put less strain on the clutch while downshift. Since you wont be going from 7k-2k rev instead with the blip you'll do more of 7k-5.5k rev range. Making a smoother/faster/more effecient shift.

[rclewis1]

@hasoozel Absolutely nothing. You'll only "need" to use heel-toe when your racing or downshifting for control. A Blip will occur which is a rev matching way of controlling throttle by clutch-brake-gas allowance.

[hasoozel]

can you explain why i must do heel and toe and what happens if i don't do it. shifting down by just clutch and brake ?

[powerfultoa7]

This is a difficult technique to get it right as your blips must be precise (not too much nor too little).....it's best to master Rev-matching first to get a feel for how much throttle you should give

[MrAlex4213]

i thought heel and toe was for saving the engine now turning :S becasue it saves the engine from such high revs so fast

@sunzhenyufrank this technique is considered advanced, and you should not try it, unless you have enough experience. For me, it was when i needed to go faster from where i live to work( rular area) so i learned it... Allways drive safe and do not put yourself or other drivers into the risk of an accident... Find a nice parking or some place without traffic and give it a shot, like this guy. Stay safe and wear a seatbelt...
