Re: Heel/Toe impossible....

My accelerator is right under my heel when I slide it over. You know heel-toe is most often performed under heavy braking right?

Re: Heel/Toe impossible....

yep, exactly. heavy breaking.

If the accelerator pedal is too far down, that means you aren't breaking hard enough, and that means you don't need to really heel-toe at that point.

Coming into a turn, where you need to slow down significantly is the best opportunity to try heel toe. Remember, just slide your heel over, and give the pedal a quick jab to raise rpm then you can immeditaly slide it back and release clutch.

Re: Heel/Toe impossible....

I do it very seldom...of course, having small feet means that it's a true pain in the a$$ for me...but it can be done.

If you're looking for a pedal setup that is really helpful, try the Sparco carbon fiber pedals. Just don't try driving with expensive dress shoes :-)

It's also often done in corners to get a better downshift flywheel speed for a faster exit. I practice it on onramps if I find myself alone.

Re: Heel/Toe impossible....

I also have the same problem, clutch is not a problem, the major problem is the height difference of the brake pedal and the gas pedal, and if I brake hard its still level with the gas pedal, I maight end up using toe for the gas and heel for the brake..
