Heel Toe Issue
#30
BLINGMW Wrote:Yeah, DJ, Maeng, I'm with you on the straight line braking with the clutch in (depends on the car), but I don't see how that gets you out of heel-toeing without upsetting the car. You'd still need to rev match before getting off the brake, ie, heel-toe. I must be missing something because what you're describing also doesn't allow for trail braking when a downshift is required.
Seems upsetting the car with a rough shift would be better while in a straight line, rather than trying to re-engage the drivetrain just after getting off the brakes and turning in. Now, if not going particularly fast, whatever, but I don't see how you're getting away with this DJ. :dunno:


I think in DJ's scenario he's not trail braking for the corner. I read it as rev matching right at the turn in point when he's already coming off the brake, and I guess getting the clutch out right as he crosses the apex and starts to open the wheel back up?

And yeah, Ryan, your pedals are crazy far apart, I think that FM pedal extension that I posted a link to would make it much easier to do if you don't mind drilling a couple holes through your gas pedal.

Once you get the hang of heel-toe, toe-toe, rev-matching, whatever you want to call it, you'll find yourself doing it practically 100% of the time on the street. It lets you engine brake much more effectively, reduces wear on the clutch and saves your brake pads. Also it sounds cool.
