[QUOTE="BoatOwner, post: 371383, member: 2143"] nah i was just saying that matching revs perfectly when doing clutchless downshifts/lfb is just as difficult as maintaining constant pressure on the brake when doing heel-toe. With heel-toe you have a slightly larger window in which to match the revs without unsettling the balance of the car. i do agree that lfb/clutchless shifting is better with a dogbox.... not with a syncro gearbox though. Miton: The advantage of left foot braking/clutchless downshifts is that there is less weight transfer (more weight transfer=less overall grip) as you are able to get off the gas and on the brake without having a moment of neither in between. Same goes for getting off the brake/on the gas. And on occasion you are able to stay flat on the gas while feathering the brake(through an almost flat corner for example) with left foot braking... of course when this happens you probably won't be downshifting - again less weight transfer makes it a faster technique. with heel-toe you don't really have to use your toes or your heel so much as the right and left sides of the base(or sole or whatever) of your foot. - if your pedals are close enough that is - as they should be in a race car. as for the order for heel-toe i don't know why bother so much... it should all happen in pretty much one motion so the order really isn't important... as you hit the clutch also move the gear lever and blip the throttle and then you should again be off the clutch pedal.... all done pretty much at the same time and in a fraction of a second.
