What do YOU Achieve with this?

• Reduces stress on the driveline
• Prevents forward weight transfers when down shifting
• Reduces the chances of wheel lock in extreme cases
• Allows rapid, smooth down changes before entering a Corner

How do i do THIS?

This technique is possible by turning your right foot inwards, using your toes to operate the brakes and your heel to increase the throttle. Although this sounds complicated, it's actually a relatively easy technique to master with a bit of practice. The technique is vital on the track, but will also make you a much smoother driver on the road.

Steps:

1. Heel and toe is mostly used to change down in anticipation of a corner.
As you approach the braking point of a corner, cover the brake pedal with the ball of your right foot. The brake is the priority of the two pedals, so ensure good contact and no risk of your foot slipping off. In some cars it is very difficult to heel and toe due to the pedal position. It's useful to wear racing boots or thin soled shoes to increase your pedal feel and decrease chances of your foot sliding off the brake.

2. Apply the brake and reduce your road speed to a point where it's possible to change down without over-revving the engine.

3. When it's possible to change down, while still braking rotate your right foot and prepare to press the accelerator with your heel. Alternatively if your pedals are close together it may be possible to use the side of your foot.
At the same time, press the clutch with your left foot to disengage the wheels from the engine.

4. Once the clutch has been pressed, engine speed will start to drop further. Increase the engine speed using the throttle with the heel of your right foot in order to match the revs in second gear to the road speed.

5. When the road speed and the engine speed match, select the gear which will allow you to exit the corner quickly.

6. Smoothly and progressively release the clutch.

7. Take the corner, accelerate smoothly and prepare for the next bend.
