We don't drive manual in the US much these days. I bought my first performance car which comes standard in manual and couldn't get it off the lot. The Salesman actually drove it to my house for me. Your videos helped me a ton. I hope this is enough to buy you a beer/snack in England. Thank you!
Not too smart to buy a performance car as a vehicle for learning manual, I think. How did it go? Do you prefer driving manual or automatic now that you've learned the stick?
I passed my test over a year ago now but I still watch every video. You have such a talent for making helpful and interesting videos for learners and new car enthusiasts like myself. You are also just really entertaining and it's always nice to just hear what you have to say in any context. Keep up the good work (:
I passed my test over 25 years ago but still watch your videos as I do like them and find educational and fun. Thanks for sharing tips and tricks for safer and efficient driving.
Been driving for 14 years and you made me realize that still have somethings to learn. Your video helped me with the turbo lag of my Vento dude. Thanks a ton bro.
I passed my test on Monday with 0 minors! This channel has been so helpful, so thank you for that! No to conquer the terrifying world of driving alone 😳😳
I passed my test last Wednesday (somehow with 0 minor faults 😅) and I can't thank you enough for your videos, tips and explanations. Keep up the good work 💯!
Hey from canada! 🍁I want to comment and let you know after getting my first car, a manual car, i practiced driving with the help of your videos and after only 2 months i took my test and passed first try!! Thank you so much! ❤
I started doing this organically cause I had trouble holding the gas below 2000 RPM, so I would just blip the throttle and then let out the clutch to the bite point while holding the gas steady.
Thanks to your videos, I could drive a manual car now. In fact I became so good at hills whereas other experienced drivers I saw on the road sometimes struggled on hills
Hi Richard, I passed my test yesterday and just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for your great videos. I genuinely wouldn't have passed without them as I've had no instructor training, only with my family. Your videos are super helpful and easy to understand so thank you!
Got my Green Ps here in Australia 4 days ago, a year prior to that I successfully got my license in Manual thanks to your videos! Thank you for assisting me in getting my license, since then I've had many amazing moments driving and can't wait to have more!
Can i just say for nearly 200,000 miles the car looks clean and in good condition. I respect a man who keeps his car clean, but i have my OCD to thank for that. Also great video 😅
I am a bit OCD about the inside of my car. The outside rarely gets cleaned though, seems pointless as it's dirty almost immediately given how much I used it.
IVE DONE IT!!! Passed today after watching your videos religiously over the year, I changed instructors after failing my test with 40+ hours to a better instructor and with 10 hours plus watching countless hours of your videos I finally passed what I thought was impossible, thank you so so ever much for what you do ❤️
I use this techinque often during steep or quick uphill starts (minus holding the brake- on my car it is impossible to use the "heel-toe like" method,but I love the idea of it! ),because my car revs slow-its a 100hp turbo diesel,so sometimes it struggles to take off on steeper hills when I just press the throttle normally,so I just "feather" it. I repeatedly blip the throttle while holding the clutch on bite point, so I do not over-rev and burn the clutch but also so I do not stall or make the engine struggle and "choke". I never thought of using it on a regular flat ground for a faster takeoff. I might try it. Thanks for the vid! I have a driver license for 4 years, but I often learn something new from watching your videos! P.S Now I am thinking, that when I will get a car in which I can heel-toe, I want to try and practice the hill start method you showed in the video.
Another video that I never knew I needed! I think I occasionally do this but generally only if I'm at about 1-2mph in 1st gear and want the revs ready to go straight away instead of bogging down. Thanks for the vid Richard :)
I also did not realise ive been doing this for a few months(ive had my license for just over 1 year now), but it really does make me take off smoother I also use it for hills to prevent stalling whilst lifting the clutch up and to not rev too much
Stay in the power band, don’t let off the throttle so much and you won’t need to “blip” it. Learn to be smooth, adding an extra step doesn’t do anything other than take more time.
Very interesting video Richard, the car I've been driving since passing in July has a very sensitive throttle pedal so was a very steep learning curve on how much to press it to give just the right amount of gas as it'll shoot off to 4K RPM. Ironically, I had a much smoother initial drive in a 1986 VW Jetta that hasn't even got an RPM gauge.
Honestly you are such a huge inspiration to me, even stuff outside of driving I still find some helpful stuff coming from you. I Love how passionate you seem with these videos. Keep up the great work!
It’s cool to see this, because I sort of instinctively started doing this! When I went from a diesel Cooper SD instructor car, to a diesel first car (and could pull away almost all of the time with no or minuscule throttle needed) and had to get used to my second car (a Golf Mk6 1.4) being a low capacity petrol; without or comparative throttle to the diesels I was used to, it would stall every time when trying to pull away. Doing this meant I got used to the new car very fast and started doing it completely instinctively
Love your driving videos. I have a 2021 MX-5 Miata with the 2.0L as well. Such a fun and lively car to drive! Definitely a great car to learn how to drive a manual in. I was going to say that I don't need to throttle blip to start from a stop in my car, but then I kept watching and you also have the same car so that makes sense!
this is just how I learnt to start in a manual because in my first car the very beginning of my accelerator was loose so it did nothing. so blipping it up to 1500 and catching it w the clutch is just normal for me now.
I've been driving a manual over 3-4 years not but never knew this method. I think I'll try using it from time to time and check what difference it makes to my expereince.
Yes sir. Best way to engage my turbo car and my torque monster flat six 🤙🏻 My loud cars upsets people tho lol. I had a Mazda 3 and a 92 Miata. Those were so fun and easy to drive. I love small cars 🚘
Ah glad to know that bogging down is a me thing. I was worried it was a mechanical issue with my car cause I don't ever bog down when trying to hammer my truck forward quickly. The car's pedals are much more sensitive and finicky than the truck. I've never heard of blipping the throttle like this though, will have to give that a shot and see if I can stop bogging the car.
I try to rev match in my up! on every gearshift... but you have to really step on the gas hard and longer than you think. And starting quickly in it is a real challenge. I'm going to try out the Throttle Blip tomorrow.
Another trick you can do is bring the clutch up and hold it at biting point. Now when you want to move just press gas. Don't have to think about the clutch anymore it just stays at biting point. Onec you started moving and traveled few feet you have two options if you want to keep going fast ease of the clutch and give more gass and if you are in on rush push the clutch back in and change to second (meaning you don't relese the cluch fully for first gear just bring it at biting point to get the car rolling and push it back in and then change to second).
This is how I passed my test, didn’t know that this is actually a thing lol. I discovered that the car has incredible throttle input lag then i just blip away!
Whenever i go to the mountains and get to a sudden stop in the middle of a slope i do this technique subconciously just so i wont drag on my clutch for too long or not to roll down esp when someone's behind me. without even knowing what its called or if it is okay for my car. Good to know im doing alright.
Interesting technique. I would probably give it a try, except my car is naturally aspirated so the revs rise fairly quickly. I might give it a try for hill starts though, since the technique I use most is to quickly move from the brake to the gas and give it a load of gas while I'm bringing up the clutch pedal. It does result in a tiny bit of rollback, but the revs rise quickly enough that I can bring out the clutch fairly quickly and get going.
So funny and entertaining your videos, in 9 days i have my driving test with a Seat Ibiza but diesel. I prefer the Hyundai i30 that has a shorter clutch pedal than the León diesel.
Hi Richard, thanks so much for the content! Might be worth adding your bite point management to this video where you lift up to the bite point on the clutch, hold to rev match then take your foot off smoothly at speed rather than trying to slowly and smoothly release in a non-stop motion. I've noticed your audio is clipping slightly again, aim for your peaks to be at -6db, add a tiny bit of compression to help balance peaks and troughs in your loudness, and add a low cut filter at 120hz to remove background hum/road noise to make you stand out better. Keep up the awesome work :)
Thank you. I think my microphone is clipping because I'm too loud. I have it on minus 6 dB. I use a similar set up to some other people who makes videos but they have better sound quality.
@@ConquerDriving You might be trying to contend (even subconsciously)with road noise or engine noise, in that case bringing your mic nice and close to your mouth or using a different style of mic might be beneficial such as a shotgun aimed at your mouth and bringing your levels down a bit so you don't clip. Look forward to the next video and thank you for the response!
What I've been doing to get going super quickly is jump on the throttle at maybe 40%, and quickly bring clutch to engage which balances out the revs from climbing as it then has something to fight against and then put my foot down on the gas. two problems with this, one is that its a 130bhp turbo so bogging is very easy, and the more risky problem is I sometimes misjudge it completely and end up clutching way above where I wanted to, and have to release and try again or risk burning my clutch (although with practice I have gotten a lot better at that). Definitely gonna try this blip method on a few empty roads 😁😁😁😁 looks like it would be more reliable and faster, plus blipping is always a little extra fun! Awesome video as always Richard! 🚗🚗🚗
In most newer fuel injected vehicles the computer controlled idle control does this for you subtlety to prevent stalling. This technique is however useful on older vehicles that do not compensate and also old carbureted vehicles which do not mix fuel and air instantly when opening the throttle plate. With proper biting point engagement throttle blip is unnecessary for urgent startoff without scrubbing the tires.
I've got a mk2 seat leon 1.6 tdi. It has a soft limiter at 2,500 rpm which helps for moving off fast, but the turbo takes a while to spool up as its such a low pressure turbo and with fwd I usually get a bit of wheel spin 😅
I drove diesels for 6 years, I was happier when I went back to petrol. Especially as I don't have to worry about the diesel particulate filter and mine doesn't have a dual mass flywheel.
Funny.. I did it without realizing that I was doing it until this video. It is especially useful in "normal" cars that have very soft linear throttle input settings for softer and more economic starts..
Not relying on a turbo is one reason I like driving my old C30. I can get going much more immediately as I don't even have to blip, I just foot down clutch up and go. Of course it lacks the low down torque of a turbo motor so its not as fast techniccally, but everything it does do is more responsive.
Sir can you pls make a video on following points: > Is 10-2 position better or 9-3, I see you using 9-3 but lot of people recommend 10-2 and I don't know which one is better > Before starting the car what needs to be checked, engine oil? wiper fluid? > How long should we wait in car after starting the engine to warm it up enough for smooth journey? How dependent is it on weather? > What's the best position of side mirrors? what all things should be visible to someone no matter their height or posture? > What is the best posture, should we have space between legs and steering wheel? Or should there be an approx 90 degree angle between our thighs/legs? > Do you also know how to drift? Asking this because that might help when car swerves in rain and sometimes it can get out of control > What should be the tire pressure compared to what the company suggests? A few psi up or below the recommended?
Thank you for your suggestions: 1: What you are comfortable with 2: Check your tyres, fluids and lights weekly and bwfore long journeys 3 & 4: This video may help: ua-cam.com/video/5azLjhw5w28/v-deo.html 5: This video may be of interest but I don't have drifting tutorials.

That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for your generosity and thank you for watching. I hope you continue to find the videos interesting. I apologise that my reply is late, I've only just noticed your comment.
I have 2007 hyundai and its very light and spry. Only 2700 pounds. FF. Automatic. But it's so light it performs well even on winter tires. Purpose built FR cars have to buy expensive tires and they only work in certain conditions. Hard to say how much grip you have at any given time. My car I can just whip it like a dogleg on a cold morning. Only 2 liters all on the front tires I can't really spin it. I do have to goose it off the line in the rain. I drive for a living and haven't had an accident in 20+ years. Because I play Gran Turismo all the time. If you know cars you know a little 2.0 liter FF automatic may not be the fastest thing on the road but it's also going to be very stable at lower speeds.
I do this when coming from a low speed roll back into first. If it's too low for 2nd and too high to use the clutch without rev matching in first. I will rev match it when moving off. Talking about 10km/h btw
Hey Richard, does this technique apply to cars with a mechanical throttle cable? I think if I stepped on the accelerator pedal like you did in this video driving my old Toyota, the revs would go through the roof and it would probably blow up! Fantastic videos by the way.
so it's called throttle blip.. i always use it when in a busy T junction, really useful skill and much faster to move from stand still than a car with automatic at least from the same type of my car...
Automatic should win every time if the gear ratio is the same. The reason for this is torque converters will let it rev just about as high, and due to fluid changing directions 180 degrees it can double the torque output (where a manual your max torque is whatever the max torque output of your engine is if you rev it to that high of an RPM and flooring it). Its almost like a granny gear for the takeoff which really helps. Hence drag race cars use automatics with transmission brake to keep you stationary and still rev the engine up to make max torque (so up to 2x max engine torque rating, assuming 1 torque converter is used), and then you can use a torque locker and it locks the converter so you don't loose power once you get up to speed (also improves fuel efficiency, not that drag racers care). A lot of automatics come with launch control, which allows you to press the brakes and throttle at the same time revving the engine then releasing the brakes put the power to the wheels (similar to above, but doesn't cost much extra)
Watching your video despite I been daily a manual car for 7 years. I always pushing the throttle hard while releasing the clutch for fast start, I find blipping it causing a lot of jerking in my car, it make me the driver feel uncomfortable lol.... I guess I am fine with the normal lame way of getting the car moving haha
Never Heard about this. I learned it that you looking for the clutch holding point and then press the Gas Pedal to rev up the engine to 3000 rpm and put the foot of the clutch and with the right foot I accelerate
I’ve been driving auto for 7 years now including my learning period, but got a manual a few weeks ago. I got the hang of starting up and moving the normal way pretty quick on day 1, but on day 2 I couldn’t get it moving without stalling. Later on we learned the brakes on my car were stuck on, hence the amount of stalls I’d done on day 2, but it still kind of ruined my confidence. Which method would you recommend using at my point of experience currently? Thanks for the videos they’re super helpful!
Whether it's a launch depends how fast you accelerate. This is just a way to wake up the engine more quickly. This shouldn't cause excessive clutch wear.
In my classic mini it's just off like a scalded cat, you don't need to blip the throttle in that. I find when I drive new cars though there is a definite lag when pressing the accelerator. Like you say every car is different lol.
I can't be the only one who thinks that he really wanted to flex his really nice MX5.
In all seriousness, this guy is one of, if not the best driving teachers on yt, these videos are so helpful for learners and drivers alike.
We don't drive manual in the US much these days. I bought my first performance car which comes standard in manual and couldn't get it off the lot. The Salesman actually drove it to my house for me. Your videos helped me a ton. I hope this is enough to buy you a beer/snack in England. Thank you!

I haven't done a tutorial on drifting but here is a video: ua-cam.com/video/VXkFkYWhK8o/v-deo.html
I would call this an unnecessary over complication for most situations
I'd love a track day with the mx-5. I miss the performance of these sorts of cars! This petrol head is not happy on diesel 😒
I drove diesels for 6 years, I was happier when I went back to petrol. Especially as I don't have to worry about the diesel particulate filter and mine doesn't have a dual mass flywheel.
Another entry in the 'how to launch' series
Funny.. I did it without realizing that I was doing it until this video.
It is especially useful in "normal" cars that have very soft linear throttle input settings for softer and more economic starts..
Passed my test today with no faults! Thanks Conquer driving for the amazing videos
That's great news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
Man, I love your explanations
One more good reason to have a performance exhaust, this helps a lot.
bro is launching it every light
Not relying on a turbo is one reason I like driving my old C30. I can get going much more immediately as I don't even have to blip, I just foot down clutch up and go. Of course it lacks the low down torque of a turbo motor so its not as fast techniccally, but everything it does do is more responsive.
thank you sir
I always thought it would be bad for car to push hard on first gear, no wonder why I am always slowest to start moving in traffic 😂
Sir can you pls make a video on following points:
> Is 10-2 position better or 9-3, I see you using 9-3 but lot of people recommend 10-2 and I don't know which one is better
> Before starting the car what needs to be checked, engine oil? wiper fluid?
> How long should we wait in car after starting the engine to warm it up enough for smooth journey? How dependent is it on weather?
> What's the best position of side mirrors? what all things should be visible to someone no matter their height or posture?
> What is the best posture, should we have space between legs and steering wheel? Or should there be an approx 90 degree angle between our thighs/legs?
> Do you also know how to drift? Asking this because that might help when car swerves in rain and sometimes it can get out of control
> What should be the tire pressure compared to what the company suggests? A few psi up or below the recommended?
Thank you for your suggestions:
1: What you are comfortable with
2: Check your tyres, fluids and lights weekly and bwfore long journeys

@@ConquerDriving Thank you so much sir. 🙌🏻♥️
Your videos have been so helpful - thank you!
That's fantastic to hear! Thank you for your generosity and thank you for watching. I hope you continue to find the videos interesting. I apologise that my reply is late, I've only just noticed your comment.
We need a video on the Legendary Leon for reaching 200k miles
It's not quite there yet.
I have 2007 hyundai and its very light and spry. Only 2700 pounds. FF. Automatic. But it's so light it performs well even on winter tires.
Purpose built FR cars have to buy expensive tires and they only work in certain conditions. Hard to say how much grip you have at any given time. My car I can just whip it like a dogleg on a cold morning. Only 2 liters all on the front tires I can't really spin it. I do have to goose it off the line in the rain. I drive for a living and haven't had an accident in 20+ years. Because I play Gran Turismo all the time. If you know cars you know a little 2.0 liter FF automatic may not be the fastest thing on the road but it's also going to be very stable at lower speeds.
I do this when coming from a low speed roll back into first. If it's too low for 2nd and too high to use the clutch without rev matching in first. I will rev match it when moving off. Talking about 10km/h btw
This is a lesson in how to unnecessarily complicate driving
Your mx5 is my dream car. I've been thinking about a cheap one as a second car.
Can anyone recommend cheap providers for multi car insurance?
I learned like this because the car I learned on didn't have a tachometer
You can also throttle blip in neutral to save the synchros.
It looks like you go up to nearly 3k revs when you are still at the bite point.
I like that you show the MX5 as that is the car I'm learning on 😅
that's a cool car to learn in lol
love your socks Richard !!
Great studium. One note: at 5:15 you are burnunf clutch for a smooth start, I have a diesel with much torque in the basement, I wouldn’t do it
Malaysia have both, auto and manual and I'm learning manual
This makes me wanna get the miata
Bro is a good driver
That works fine for most petol engines but how would that work for a diesel
I don't find it helps much in a diesel. The gas pedal responds different so it doesn't feel like it helps much.
Hey Richard, does this technique apply to cars with a mechanical throttle cable? I think if I stepped on the accelerator pedal like you did in this video driving my old Toyota, the revs would go through the roof and it would probably blow up! Fantastic videos by the way.
so it's called throttle blip.. i always use it when in a busy T junction, really useful skill and much faster to move from stand still than a car with automatic at least from the same type of my car...
Automatic should win every time if the gear ratio is the same. The reason for this is torque converters will let it rev just about as high, and due to fluid changing directions 180 degrees it can double the torque output (where a manual your max torque is whatever the max torque output of your engine is if you rev it to that high of an RPM and flooring it). Its almost like a granny gear for the takeoff which really helps.
Hence drag race cars use automatics with transmission brake to keep you stationary and still rev the engine up to make max torque (so up to 2x max engine torque rating, assuming 1 torque converter is used), and then you can use a torque locker and it locks the converter so you don't loose power once you get up to speed (also improves fuel efficiency, not that drag racers care).
A lot of automatics come with launch control, which allows you to press the brakes and throttle at the same time revving the engine then releasing the brakes put the power to the wheels (similar to above, but doesn't cost much extra)
12:13, best technique! It's called left-foot picking.
Watching your video despite I been daily a manual car for 7 years. I always pushing the throttle hard while releasing the clutch for fast start, I find blipping it causing a lot of jerking in my car, it make me the driver feel uncomfortable lol.... I guess I am fine with the normal lame way of getting the car moving haha
It's best to do what works for you. Maybe in a different car you will find it more helpful. It doesn't work with all engines very well.
Nice socks mate!
Getaway Driving! I'd be too scared too do something like that.
Never Heard about this. I learned it that you looking for the clutch holding point and then press the Gas Pedal to rev up the engine to 3000 rpm and put the foot of the clutch and with the right foot I accelerate

I’ve been driving auto for 7 years now including my learning period, but got a manual a few weeks ago. I got the hang of starting up and moving the normal way pretty quick on day 1, but on day 2 I couldn’t get it moving without stalling. Later on we learned the brakes on my car were stuck on, hence the amount of stalls I’d done on day 2, but it still kind of ruined my confidence. Which method would you recommend using at my point of experience currently? Thanks for the videos they’re super helpful!
Do this on my motorcycle aswell.
Do you still need to hold the clutch briefly at the biting point when you do this? Thanks lhello
So this is pretty much launching a car in a more civil way i.e. not having to replace the clutch after a few hard launches. Correct?
Whether it's a launch depends how fast you accelerate. This is just a way to wake up the engine more quickly. This shouldn't cause excessive clutch wear.
would using heel-toe in the test be a fault?
In my classic mini it's just off like a scalded cat, you don't need to blip the throttle in that. I find when I drive new cars though there is a definite lag when pressing the accelerator. Like you say every car is different lol.
