I have to get so close to the (non-adjustable) steering wheel, that I can't properly heel and toe. My feet are not wide enough to brake with the left side and twist to blip the throttle with the right side of my foot. So I've tried to do it like those guys you see on the "Touge" videos, but I think I'm too close to put my leg in position.... I cant internally rotate it far enough to toe brake, and heel blip.

Anyone ever have this problem? Other ideas....??

either wear wider shoes, or simply move the break pedal closer to the gas pedal.

 

I've been messing around a lot with heel and toe shifting....

I have relatively small feet (size 9) and can do it. I have found there are two ways to do it. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

The foot roll-
Put your heel on the floor right at the bottom of the gas pedal. Your entire foot will be in contact with the gas pedal. When you brake you leave your heel on the floor and move the ball of your foot to the left and just barely put the edge of your foot on the brake pedal. You will then be able to roll your foot to the right as you brake to blip the throttle (since your heel is still planted at the bottom of the gas pedal). This is the easiest way to do it, because rolling your foot doesn't interfere with the pressure you are putting on the brake pedal. The down side is, that with size 9s, you don't have much of your foot on the brake pedal so I worry about it slipping off.

The true heel and toe -
The other technique is how I see real race car drivers do it. Put your foot on the gas pedal anyway you want. When it's time to brake, lift your whole foot and put it on high on the brake pedal. The ball of your foot should be at the very top of the pedal. Now rotate your heel to the right and push it down to blip the throttle. The advantage to this method is that your entire foot is on the brake pedal so there is no risk of it slipping off. The other advantage is it seems quicker to pick your entire foot up and put it on the brake pedal rather than trying to keep your heel planted to the floor. The downside of this technique is that it's much harder to blip the throttle without accidentally braking harder. With a little practice you can teach yourself to blip the throttle with your heel without changing the pressure the ball of your foot is putting on the brake pedal.


Good luck!
