This is what you need to know about heel-toe downshifting | Road & Track + Dodge

Bondurant instructor Andy Lee takes the mystery out of this advanced driving technique. ​

Simple in theory, takes a lot of practice to perfect. So satisfying when you get it right though.

Before there was synchromesh we had to double declutch. This meant that we had to match revs as we clutched

Why did the Challenger morph into a Charger at 1:43 😂

Heel-toe = Braking + Downshift+ Revmatch, .. ..simple as that !

[torocars]

do a through lesson on subject of maximum trail braking.  Thanks.

[andysiu]

to master heel toe, you need to know your car very well and a lot a lot of practice

[Darrell]

That's really hard to do. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I am not sure what the difference is when you can just come off the break and rev match when accelerating around the turn. It seems like it is the same thing to me

[whynot-qksw]

Him: Ok, so I've mastered heel toe
Me: Nah you haven't

[batsy]

I don't get consistent throttle response. Seems like there is a delay in the accelerator sometimes?

[Monkzilla]

I actually use this technique when riding motorcycles.

[AncientGreek]

Is the purpose of heel and toe using downshifting as a brake?

[r.i.peperoniiiiroh]

since it for prevention to lock up the brakes does it have any effect for FWD AWD cars?

[MarcinCebula]

Pretty sure they faked it. You can't learn heal of toe on the 3rd try. It's not something you can think about and just do, it's muscle memory and it takes a lot of practice

[MrKW]

I just wonder, is this any usefull offtrack? Like prolonging the clutch life or smthing?

[gslow_]

I have a manual scat and ik how to rev match but in my challenger the brake pedal and gas paddle aren’t even and when I go to rev match I can barely touch the gas and if I do I step on the brake to much so yea L dodge

[kent]

This is really like how every motorcycle rider downshifts

[coureurdebois]

*wants to be a good race car driver* _walks away from over weight Challenger_ *gets into a camaro SS, sets far faster laptime* (problem solved)

[christopherbrewington]

Dude my cars got no room and I’m kinda big. This is mad hard

[theedge]

[JeepCherokeeful]
