HEELANDTOE

Heel-and-toe

Heel-and-toe shifting is a driving technique used mostly in performance driving, although some drivers use it on the road in everyday conditions in the interest of effectiveness. It involves operating the throttle and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal activation of the clutch with the left foot. It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously, and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear.
