    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Wanabe_Garage @ Oct 28 2007, 04:06 PM) </div>thanks for that, forgot about that :blink:

    what about the clutch and the brake?

    *edit* lol, sorry that sounds stupid, i guess the brakes would be fine, just test them if they stop the car or not, but with the clutch, how would you tell? just go for a drive and ride the clutch(kick it all the way in, and ride it like that) to see if you can smell the clutch cooking?

    i only use heel toe to make a smoother change down in gears, or just blip the throttle when down shifting (no braking)

    Good article (as usual ) Sam, and good discussion.

    Heel and toe can be quite important while driving. I use it mainly to drive nice and smooth on downchanges, but when it gets hektik it certainly aids to keep good corner speed and preventing loss of traction (although compression lock can be fun )

    Its all about timing, you can time it right and get a good result: On the brake, clutch in to change gears, change gears, blip the throttle enough to match the revs, off the clutch. Thats the idea anyway. Get the timing wrong, and it ends up either being too higher revs (which sounds like crap and feels bad as the engine rapidly has to decelerate), or not enough revs, which ends up having the same effect as not heel-toeing at all. After that, you can work on getting the same result with as little throttle percentage as possible (less fuel consumption).

    If you watch professional drivers (such as V8 Supercar Drivers) they generally have the pedals pretty close together so that they can hit up the throttle in as little time as possible, to keep the 'flow' of the lap going. I'm still experimenting with heel-toeing for drifting, I'm sure there's plenty of people with more experience than me that doing it. I'm guessing you can control the momentum of the car, and the grip at the front by grabbing the brake at the same time as the throttle.

    Experiment with it while you drive, take it easy at first as you can't get in too much trouble while doing it.

    another good way to put it is compression lock, if you're taking a corner hard and have an LSD, especially a 2 way, you need to match the revs of the gear you're downshifting into mid turn, otherwise the engine will slow the wheels down too much and break traction, when you least want it. I was at the track my first time, and my second lap was taking a corner, didn't heel toe down to second, it just spun me right around.

    yes I forgot to mention about that:

    if you have 2 way LSD and you just down change harshly around a corner you will have a very harsh suprise indeed.
