I'm preparing for a few track days once the weather bucks up.

So far I have a Jonathan Palmer track day in a Caterham Superlite lined up followed by a Ride Drive lesson and then on to a track day.

I've been ploughing through Art Markus's - Track Day Drivers Guide (loads of good advice) and reading the track days forum on Pistonheads.

Using the old Heal-toe action comes up quite a lot and is not something I have tried to do before (not really necessary in my old 1.3 Mazda). Many heal-toers out there? How have you found it on the Cerbera given the long travel on the accelerator?

I need to get my pedals sorted out - at the minute it's almost impossible. My accelerator seems to feel loose for the first little bit of travel, then really 'short' for a while, then there's a load of travel to the stop. That combined with the fact that my brake pedal is too high makes it somewhat difficult. Once setup correctly it should be fine though...

Have no problem in mine now that I've adjusted the brake peddle to be lower.

Used to really enjoy heel/toe, giving her a blip on the downchange made things smoother and louder!! My accelerator started seize up for some reason and has now snapped off altogether!! So no heel and toeing for me for a while, just toeing stood in the driveway lol

Good to hear. DJ I have a similar problem to you. I think I will need to adjust my break pedal lower.

Given how loose mine feels, it might end up doing to same! Anyhow, shouldn't you be rev matching rather than 'blipping' (as you can blip with 1 foot).

I think someone already did this on my car cos its perfect for 'heel/toe', or should I say 'foot/side of foot'

Just as my brake begins to bite the brake pedal is lined up with the accelerator
