Heel and Toe driving
 

I'm 6'3" tall and I have a hard time doing heel/toe driving. Any tips from taller people? Do I need to switch to a different seat? I think a lower seat would give me some additional room.

Is anyone using heel/toe? Or are you using the side of your foot instead of your heel?

Maybe I need some driving shoes?

i rev match on down shift, not as good as heel-toe´ing

usually i just blip the throttle to reach the downshift rev. after a while you get quite good at judging the engine speed ;)

i have tried the heel toe but find i slow down reaction wise as im paying too much attention to my feet and not the road :lol:

I don't heel-toe.. I kind of roll my right foot over onto the throttle to blip the gas on downshift... I don't think the stock pedals on an E36 really work that well for doing it... It is much easier with pedals that stick out a little on the bottom left of the pedal.

If you have board shoes, like DC, Vans, etc... I think they work pretty well as the side of the shoe is flat were as most running shoes are kind of flared. I don't think you need to spend the money on racing shoes unless you also want something that is flame resistant.

I use the side of my foot because heel toeing just doesnt feel comfortable to me.

I do the same, just use the side of my foot.

I've been trying to find a heel-toe shifter for my motorcycle for years. Saves wear on my shoes.:cool:

Why not buy a pair of Ferrari drving shoes for the ti? ...

I think oakley has racing shoes too,they sell them at some shoe stores in the malls around me. Off the subject kind of but i like the red and white shoes in the upper left.

puma cats.. they´re all the "rage" here :( i dont like em..

i drive in Nike free. feckin luvly they are :D

Ok, that's what I thought, and that's what I've been trying.

When I try to blip the gas with the side of my foot, I tend to let up on the brake. How can I avoid this? Do pedal covers help?

I put my foot to the right side of the brake pedal, then push the brakes and rock the side of my foot to the throttle.

Depending on who you ask. I've seen heel/toe done with actually using your toes for brake and swing your heel over to blip the gas (lots of pro driving videos).

"True" heel-toe driving requires bottom-hinged pedals as found in most race cars. I just pronate my ankle, and the side of my shoe hits the accerator. Running stock pedal covers.

Flat (skate/casual) shoes or driving shoes are better than running shoes.

Maybe they use 'pro' pedals. . .

Oops, Ace beat me to it.
