Feel free to post about the pros and cons of heel and toe and pass on techniques that you found useful.
Heel and toe is so called because you use one foot to control 2 pedals. Typically the toe on the brake and the heel on the accelerator but I have seen this done the other way round. Some cars have pedals that lend themselves to this others are quite far apart although aftermarket pedals can be added.
The aim is to maintain the balance of the car. As you change gear you will match the engine speed with the next gear ratio by blipping the throttle. On tracks you can use this technique to keep the turbo spinning whilst braking so there is no lag when you go back on throttle.
If you brake and accelerate at the same time your brakes will overheat and you risk them binding on (Locking up) so use this technique carefully. Practice while changing down gears then apply it on bends and corners keeping the balance of the car.
Hopefully I've missed loads out so you guys can chip in a little. Feel free to ask questions as well. :wink:
