Heel n Toe Technique

its good if u can brake n throttle with ur right foot during drifting.

for example if u drift at bukit jalil or mardi track..

the basic functions of foot brake during drifting are:

to slow down or to adjust vehicle speed when
-entering corner
-in tsuiso..especially when ur opponent slows down in front of u

u can either press the brake hard...ur car will slow down quite drastically..

or..if u tap it at the right time and with the correct amount of force..u can adjust ur vehicle position/drift line in the track..i.e. when u drift n tend to go into the outer line, u can tap the brake to make ur car go towards the inner line (especially when u are attacking front clipping points)

so, when drifting..if braking is required (like explained in the above conditions)...conventionally u need to lift ur foot off the throttle and press the brake thus causing the rpm to drop. so imagine when u finish braking n want to throttle again..u need to wait for the rpm to climb from low down to the correct rpm range that u want..this will cause:
-turbo lag for turbocharged cars...turbine can't spool fast enough due to low exhaust gas volume n speed at low rpm (the turbine needs a certain amount of exhaust gas for it to reach the efficient turbine speed...)..on the other hand...if u can keep the rpm high..ur turbine will keep on spooling at high speed n give u instantaneous spooling whenever u want it to.
-for NA no turbo lag..but still u need to wait a bit for the rpm to climb up from the low rpm range which will cost u precious msec in tsuiso..letsay ur front opponent has excellent throttle control..he will definitely exit corners faster than u do!

having said that..to keep on throttling (maintain high rpm even when applying brakes)...if u r not using left foot braking like zul does, u need to press brake with ur right toe n keep on throttling with ur right heel (a.k.a Heel n Toe technique)

when i spoke to faidzal alang last time, he mentioned that when he does rally driving with his satria..at some point he didn't lift off his throttle at all..he throttled all the way through the rally stage n apply left foot braking when required :twisted: ....
