In Simpson (narrow) race shoes I've missed the gas pedal.


Make sure you're in the proper seating position too. With the brake pedal fully depressed, you should still have a bend in your knee.


Whichever method you choose, always prioritize your braking as that's important to maintain balance and control of the car. Worst case you will hold the clutch in an extra second to let your speed/rpms level out naturally if you don't achieve the blip properly, but you'll still keep the wheels on the pavement. Practice working from as far on the right of the brake pedal as you can get solid/confident braking and work from there. Get comfortable using that area and slowly start building to rolling or rotating your foot. Much like left foot braking, it doesn't feel natural at first but before you know it it'll just be something you do without thinking.
