heel toe
LF Braking and blipping the throttle makes the car lunge how can you blip the throttle if you are in gear?? 1st! 2nd, of course left foot braking makes a difference i use it every day just for good practice but it makes tremendous difference when setting up for a corner while down shifting!! makes your weight shift more subtle and makes it easier to late break, also allows you to shift into first gear for those extra slow corners therefore more stable why would rally drivers and in fact any racer with a clutch use this technique???? plus clutchless shifting gets your wheels locked up (bad for weight shift) not to mention f**ks up your tranny do you actually own a manual gearbox??
I don't understand what you are trying to say.
Corner lies ahead, still at full throttle, commence braking, downshift (blip throttle with right foot slide into next lower gear, repeate if necessary), trail brake and turn in, back on throttle in the proper gear. Regardless of what foot you use to brake the car with and how you rev match, this is done in the same order, same place. Heel toe has nothing to do with cornering speeds; either on entry or exit. Hell you can just stand on the brakes, and drop the thing into whatever gear you need to get to once you slow down enough and it won't make much if any differnece in exit speed. For the record, while you are braking as hard as possible, the tranny is doing nothing to slow you down, even at higher RPMs the brakes' stopping power prevents the tranny and associated engine braking effect from slowing the car.
It isn't hard to LFB and downshift without the clutch. You just gotta have some finesse with the throttle blip and the gear lever.
