That’s a tight track. Car sounds pretty good - very similar in sound to my Exocet ( coincidence? I think not. )

I need to work on my shifting. I simply cannot heel-toe.

literal senna like heel toe? or side sole? I’m a 12 and rocking the outsole to the gas/insole on the brake solved the foot box space dilemma for me.

Either, haha. I’m a 10.5 with the flexibility of a hard taco shell.

I never understood the full twist heel and toe. For me it is so much more comfortable for me to leave my heel on the floor, ball of the foot on the right side of the brake pedal, and then roll the foot over to use the base of my pinkie toe on the gas. As soon as I try to lift my heel off the floor my brake pressures end up all over the place.

That’s because there is no point to it.

“Heel and toe” is an old name still being applied to the modern technique, which would be better described as “ball and side”.

Really old cars had a different pedal arrangement: brake and clutch to the right and left of the steering column, with the throttle below and between the other two pedals. Drivers really did use their heel on the throttle and toe on the brake to rev-match downshifts.

When the modern pedal arrangement became standard, the technique was adjusted, but the old name stuck.
