here is similar to how I heel-toe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sduMmQL1OVs I lift my heel/pivot more than this guy, though. That is how I "begin" the maneuver, by fully taking my heel off the mat. That is the technique we were taught at Spring Mountain, so I stuck with it. Last edited by ImportConvert; 02-16-2012 at 12:55 AM. |

What I've heard, if you do use your toe on brake and heel on gas, then the floor mount gas pedal is better suitable. I tried both myself when I first learn the concept and I chose using my forefoot to heel-toe eventually, that was when I was driving the BMW which is a floor mount gas pedal, I found it's easier than using my heel. BTW, do you use your heel on the gas pedal when heel-toe?? Last edited by alcheng; 02-16-2012 at 12:56 AM. |

1/2 my shoe stays on the brake, the heel comes up off the floorboard, I angle the foot at about 40-45*, and roll my ankle, blipping the accelerator with the "pad" on my Piloti driving shoe. This is how I was taught at Spring Mountain, and the shoes look like they were designed with it in mind. We were taught we get a maximum of 3 blips before needing to re-position as the foot tends to slide off the brake. Side-pressure against the brake can help alleviate this. I am sure there are many different ways to accomplish the same thing, but this is how I was taught. |

Text book style: Toe on Brake and Heel on Gas ![]() I believe both ways can handle both types of pedal. I don't know all, but 99% of the race car driver are using the method that you learn. Last edited by alcheng; 02-16-2012 at 01:10 AM. |
