    First few times on the track heel-toeing will be the last thing on your mind.

    Hey sorry just want to make sure im on the right page, Double-Clutch is when your almost at redline or watever, you hit the clutch, rpms jump and you shift right when it hits rev limit right? Can someone explain heel/toe too? Hey Thomas where do you go practice your drving skills at? parking lots? I live in Sac too and Dont kno any good empty lots where the Popos arent hiding out at...

Awkward at first, but then becomes like any other kinetic, learned athletic excercise.

    So how many track days did it take for you to get comfortable with the heel and toe?

    I dug up some old video that I compiled a while back and shows you a good example how heel/toe and double clutch is done at the track. Keep watching the footwork these drivers are doing and the heel/toe combo shift is within half of the video. Until you get to 1:40 in the video, double clutch is done and it's done fast.

    Here's the video dedicated to dohcvtec :

    Double Clutch
    Car in gear > clutch in > put gear to neutral > clutch out > clutch in > engage next gear > clutch out

    Heel/Toe = Rev match


    btw... i use heel/toe everyday or whenever I drive the Evo or any other manual car I get a hold of. Having a perfect heel/toe shift will vary from the persons foot size. The distance of the brake and gas pedals will have an impact depending on your foot size. The Honda StooK to me has the best feel, smooth heel/toe I've done because of the small foot size I have and the pedals were right next to each other. My friends '05 C230 Kompressor was one of the hardest heel/toe I've done because of brake and gas pedal distance which were too far apart. :?

    What DB8GSR said. Useful for babying your synchros when downshifting or avoiding grinding when shifting after you've failed to baby your synchros. :lol:

    No-one on a racetrack double-clutches if they can help it--it's slow (doubles or triples your shift time). Just use the synchros (if they work) or get a dogbox and jam it into gear and forget about it.

    For a nice example of heel-toe and (especially) left-foot braking, check out this old-school Audi rally video: mms://a178.v096910.c9691.e.vc.akamaistream.net/7/178/9691/v0009/audi.download.akamai.com/9691/history/04_mh/07_rallye_physik_b.wmv

    I can barely do it with my size 13's. I think I need a big ass brake pedal like Boris Said maybe I sit too close

    It's hard to explain. I never had to "get comfortable" with it while on the racetrack because I do it on the street everyday. It becomes natural to heel/toe so you don't even think about. Kinda like using the clutch or shifting into a gear. You don't think about it, it just happens. I don't advise practicing heel/toe on the racetrack until it becomes 2nd nature to you. Plenty of other stuff to concentrate on.

    You're saying you need a bigger brake pedal to heel/toe? :methods4:
