It's their job... but again, I agree. It's amazing to see their foot work

heel-toe just takes practice, guys... not to belittle their driving skills, but a lot of what they're doing isn't super spectacular footwork. one of the guys (i think in the exige) kept the clutch half depressed when he wasn't shifting. annoyed me quite a bit while i was watching.

^

There's obviously a difference between someone who can heel-toe pretty good, and someone who does it like an expert, but ANYONE can learn to heel-toe effectively.

anything in racing can be learned, specially heel & toe but whats hard is knowing the breaking point, heal and toe, selecting what gear is best on that corner, hitting the apex & holding that rear end thru the exit.

yup like other have said. also it's not easy to do h&t and find perfect braking point with car that isn't yours. I know this from experience. first yr with my friend's S2k racing, I had hard time doing h&t and braking point. Now, after 2 yrs I can h&t in nice braking time.
