so you're arguing that the proper way to downshift is to DRAG THE REVS UP WITH THE CLUTCH??? that's the most asinine thing i've ever heard. heel toeing has nothing to do with gear ratios. at all.
when using brakes properly (notice i never once said you should be threshold braking at every corner), the driver will not upset the car coming into a corner. i feel sorry for you if you are unable to use brakes without upsetting the car.
sand is definitely an issue, which again, is why i think it's fine not to push hard through a canyon. but to me, it seems like you're trying to make excuses for a lack of driving skill. sand has nothing to do with proper driving technique.
in my car i'm able to turn the wheel roughly 120 degrees in either direction before i need to regrip. that gives me a total of (if you do the math) 240 degrees of wheel angle before regripping. it looked like you maybe turned the wheel that far once or twice.
next time, try to put together a better post that defends what you're doing in the video instead of sitting there calling me names and contradicting yourself. you say you want to be cautious around blind corners and sand (i agree), but then you also say you "don't want to scrub off too much speed." seems to me like you don't know which side of the fence you want to be on.

Here's the video again now what clutch draging to keep up the revs ? You don't have a clue as to what you're talkin about..
There is a huge difference between scrubin of speed and mantaining a smooth corner entrance and momentium through the turn alowing for a fast and controble exit...as I said before you have no clue how to drive the canyons....
You say I have a lack of driving skill ? Take another look at the video and point out the times I cross the center line, better yet point out the times I don't cross the center line.....at speed..
...a measured 12 mi. in 8:26 87 mph average.....and that is the point. It takes skill to drive in control at speed....
Heal and toeing is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (prior to entering a turn), and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear so that there is no momentery locking of the drive wheels which could upset the car as it enters the corner. It has everything to do with gear ratios matching drive wheel speed...
... Now point out one time the rear wheels chirp due to improper downshifting....
I never contradicted myself, you just don't know what you are talkin about and that's how people know it's you speakin like an idiot..
(denoting a person of low intelligence)..
