I never realized how good race car drivers are with the clutch!

yeah, agreed.

rev matching is kind of cool once you get the hang of it and it sounds dope as fuck if youre trying to impress someone but its really only practical on the race course.

yeah man. rev-matching is soo impractical on the streets. i must prefer jerking my body/car around violently as I downshift at highway speeds to pass etc.

I could go on...lots.

rev-matching is a very relevant skill to develop if you drive a MT.

ok, but i was referencing rev matching when slamming down gears entering into a corner at race speeds while braking using the heel toe as seen in the video. i dont really even think about it if im not braking because its so much simpler and natural when just downshifting without braking. guess i could have been more specific.

I use heel toe in traffic sometimes. I also like to do it around town when there are no cars around and drive a bit aggressively.

the clutchwork in drifting is ridiculous, a lot more active than normal racing.

anyway, this wins! heel toe, and left foot braking, without a sequential. theres a shit ton of footwork going on.

Heel and toe is actually pretty easy, but it takes a shit ton of practice to get really good at.  You can pivot like the dude in the first vid, or roll your ankle and blip the throttle with the side of your foot.  I've learned to do both. Once you get good enough you can do it on the street just rolling around town.

with a proper set of shoes its even easier- i have a few sets of pilotis for trackdays/ weekend driving- they have a very small layer for better pedal feel- and the rear heel is rolled so you can pivot superfast
