Me at 10 pm: wow initial d is some nice anime

Me at 4 am: how to heel-toe shift

[lifeonearth]

You dont need to rev match if you're driving a rental car

The most difficult aspect of this technique is application of steady brake pressure. All depends on pedal feel and travel and every car is different. One tip for learners however, is to practice downshifting/Rev matching without using the brake pedal. Get that part sorted out and then gradually introduce use of all 3 pedals! Believe me that helps!

Shit, I thought this was about drums, I'm in the wrong part of town

Easy to watch, but definitely took me several months to do a smooth heel toe. Practice is key

my incompetent ass just tried this, got my foot stuck on the pedal and fucking crashed in a ditch. go me

[behemothokun]

The hardest thing for me was to hold the brake power consistently. Especially since I do that on my commute and don't slam on the brake. Also my gas pedal hangs from the top but luckily is close enough to the brake that I can do this slightly differently by "toe-toeing". over-reving was a problem at first too, but I noticed you get used to it fast how much feel you need.
I don't even have a sporty car, just a 70hp sub-compact with a manual 5 speed, but it feels so satisfying to do corrently.

Just got a Logitech G29 w/ the shifter and this is the first video I watched - no extra tidbits, just straight to the point. Thank you sir! I'll try and practice this method on GT Sport!

The tricky thing for me is maintaining the sensitivity /pressure on the braking once I lift my heel. I'm accustomed to braking with my heel on the floor of the car. I guess Ill train first breaking with my foot completely off the floor of the car. Great video, thanks!

IF YOU release VERY SLOW THE CLUTCH THE RPM WILL DROP AND YOU HEEL-TOE for nothing

[kelkiiii]

I was skeptical that I could understand this concept from a 2 minute video, but you did an awesome job explaining it. thanks a ton

[J.Stargaze]

out of ALL THE videos on YouTube, much too elongated, this video is direct and straight, concise and explains it perfectly, thank u!

[RichardGetzPhotography]

FINALLY!!! Someone can explain this in under 2 minutes!

[michaelmapp]

Hey, great video! After watching this I finally got the hang of it! I had been going around Dragon Trail Seaside track in Gran Turismo Sport for hours and as soon as I watched this I managed to shave 4 seconds off my best time after about 4 laps. It really makes a huge difference, thank you!

[clt_collector]

Thanks for such a simple but detailed video - it clarified a few things for me, especially with your track footage.

[inupiaqpride]

Finally. Short and to the point. THANK YOU

[supersevenn]

dude you are releasing the clutch wayyy too late, the revs are already down when you release. you need to release the clutch as the revs are uppp, thus rev matching. if you are going to teach something, do it right cuz there is always someone thats going to believe you know what your talking about

[smartdrivetest]

Hi Ray - thanks for the video. I teach new drivers how to drive a manual transmission and some of them believe this is for every day driving. I explain to them--as you did-that this is for racing, and better lap times. Thanks again, Cheers Rick

Finally! I didn’t have to watch a guys face while he explained the process. Great visual demonstration! I’ve been destroying clutches for years, but with my Golf R on the way, I thought I’d better learn how not to.

[RELOADINGandSHOOTING]

Awesome straight to the point instruction!!! Thanks!
