Heel/Toe

[thehighwayman]

Hi,

I've recently taken it upon myself to learn the heel/toe technique for no other reason than I wanted to and am also interested in possibly entering some hill climb events and track days.

I have the motion under control but am finding it hard to rev match, can anyone offer advice on how to catch the revs at the right point?

My sequence goes like this (for argument sake lets say im in 4th gear approaching bend and I want to change down to 3rd gear) gas, as bend approaches apply brakes, clutch in, blip throttle whilst selecting 3rd, let clutch out and back on the gas to exit the bend.

Is there a way to insure the revs are matched or is it a case of just practicing?

Thanks in advance.

Really useful replies thanks!

By the sounds of it I need to work on blip size and timing, its a learning curve but will get there.

Would a lightened flywheel also help? My thought process is that you would have a more sensitive blip action...
