heel and toe

actually wat is this technquie for??anyone can enlighten me?
-
Internet so much info on it. even got videos...

yawnz...

Well, just not to dissapoint the thread starter...
Heel and toe technique is basically used to keep up the rev so that the car doesn't lose too much power during cornering. By keeping the rev up, you can accelerate thru a corner faster. That's basically all i know, you'll have to research more on your own if you wanna experiment, which i doubt there'll be any chance if your gonna do it here. -
As far as i know and practice.. its mainly use to bring up the RPM during downshifting, so the driver can downshift smoothly. Smooth downshift is important when u lineup and brake hard into a conner. Hope this helps.
Cheers!

By all measn research on it but don't try it on your own especially on public roads. Get a track instructor to teach you the fundamentals in a controlled environment. Wrong usage of heel and toe can result in fishtails.Originally posted by tofushop193:actually wat is this technquie for??anyone can enlighten me? -

Fishtails.. unlikely lah..Originally posted by nullifi3d:By all measn research on it but don't try it on your own especially on public roads. Get a track instructor to teach you the fundamentals in a controlled environment. Wrong usage of heel and toe can result in fishtails.
But agree with some professional coach can learn faster.
For starters, practice your footwork 1st (stationary), then try it at lower speed on straight roads. Try brake and downshifting at the same time.. if you do not blip your throttle and throw your clutch while downshifting, the action will be rough and may unsettle the car. Try blip the throttle before throwing your clutch to achieve a smooth downshift.
Action goes this way..
1. Brake (into a turn)
2. Clutch in
3. Downshift
4. Blip throttle while still holding to brake (this is where footwork comes in)
5. release clutch
Try performing step 2~5 within 1sec and at the same time achieve smooth downshift (not by releasing your clutch slowly coz in a race, your clutch will overheat in no time).
How much to blip? say you are in your 3rd gear and traveling at 150km/h, 5000rpm. you brake and slow to 100km/h @ 3000rpm, at this speed, if you down shift into 2nd gear, your RPM should, say be at 6000rpm. This means you need to blip your throttle to 6000rpm before releasing your clutch.
Hope its not too complex.. keke.. If still dun understand, try signing up for an adv driving course (hopefully they still teach this, coz nowadays all semi auto, computer blip throttle for driver).
OK, having said the above, please drive carefully and responsibly on public roads.

hey siaokao...thanks man...now i understand better...but u know where to sign up of adv driving course???i cant find in on the net except for BMW owners

can u for once shut up?pleaseOriginally posted by jonathan_n80:yawnz... -
Humm.. not sure leh.. but u can try contacting SMSA, I'm sure they can provide some info. AA Singapore also conducts defensive driving course. Abt 10 years ago, SMSA do conduct some form of advance driving lessions and Harvy Yap also does it in PG. (sorri ar, can onli provide you wif "outdated" info coz i out of this "circle" long time liao.. keke)Originally posted by tofushop193:hey siaokao...thanks man...now i understand better...but u know where to sign up of adv driving course???i cant find in on the net except for BMW owners -
