Heel Toe
Does anyone know the differences between Double Clutch Heel Toe and Not Double Clutch Heel Toe. My friends tell me Double Clutch Heel Toe is much slower, but Non Double Clutch heel toe needs lots of Revs. Any advices?
Thanks

Well, double-clutching used to be necessary in the days before synchronized transmissions but it is all but un-necessary now.
Racers should know it in case they get into a race and have transmission trouble. It will allow them to continue. But for standard driving, single clutching is plenty. You have to rev the car the same amount, as it's dependant on speed, not which technique you use.
Double-clutching: Let off gas, depress clutch, select neutral, release clutch, blip throttle, depress clutch, select lower gear, release clutch. Try doing that with any speed or consistency! It takes allot of practice to get it right. All of the above steps happen in about 1 second, if that long.
Single-clutching: Let off gass, depress clutch, select neutral, blip throttle, select lower gear, release clutch. There... it's that simple. Keep in mind that the final 'release the clutch' step in both cases should be timed so that the revs match the speed of the vehicle.
It's really easy in our cars... you put the ball of your foot on the throttle, and use the outside of your foot on the gas (by your pinky toe.) You don't have to turn your foot sideways, just keep it straight and use the ball of your foot on the brake. Try not to change your braking pressure as you rotate over and blip the gas. Practive makes perfect! I do it every time I slow the car down. It becomes second nature.
Good luck!
