Would anyone mind giving me a better understanding of what rev match and heel toe downshifting is,?? Lol Thanks!
Rev match/heel and toe is when you slide the heel of your foot over to the throttle while braking to blip it up to the proper revs so that it goes into the lower gear more smoothly and quicker. If you are driving aggressively and downshift quickly without doing this, it will cause shock to the drivetrain and be rough on your clutch. It's a good thing to learn but can take quite a bit of practice to get it right.
