Heel and Toe, the real sports car driving technique, if you haven't mastered heel and toe yet, then we've got you covered, here's a quick demo video to help you master the art.
I guess it saves wear on the synchros, at the expense of wearing out the clutch mechanism. You might laugh, but my clutch pedal broke once (VW cheap parts)
You may have missed the why, in the video. There is no synchro on third gear. but all double clutch is what it says "Double clutch". If you ever get the chance to drive a pure crash box manual, you will fully understand about DC gear shifting. Note: it is not required on full synchromesh gear box.
Nice vid. Always interesting to see different peoples heel and toe techniques
Thank you, as long as I've been driving sports cars I have always used heel and toe.
Nice
Thank you.
Great video and great technique sir, thanks for sharing. Are you from Australia by any chance?
Thank you very much, yes, I'm a true blue Aussie.
@@cmiimages nice, I love the accent and I miss hearing it! I’ve lived in Melbourne for 8 years, wonderful country.
why disengage the clutch a 2nd time after shifting?
Double clutching. On old cars you «have» to do it. Completely unnecessary on modern cars and vehicles.
