Drove an elise at silverstone, because I did not heel and toe when I changed down through the gears the back wheels would lockup momentarily as the
back was light due to the breaking. Not really a problem on a front drive car but still used to keep things smooth..
Only used on modern cars during breaking to match engine speed with gearbox speed. I should really do it on the striker but have not mastered it at
all yet.

I thought the idea of heel and toe was to match clutch and first motion shaft speed, and gearbox shaft speeds, which you only do if you blip in
neutral with the clutch out.
Bliiping with the clutch up speeds engine up but the gearbox shafts will still be at the wrong speeds.

even with the clutch in you still get some connection to the gearbox input shaft from the engine.
you just have to blip the trottle harder.
works better if you can engage neutral between the downshifts but this takes more practice

that's more like how I do it, with the rolling action of the ball of your foot on the brake pedal, but to be honest its not something that you
really use on the road unless you are driving like a nutter, and at times like that the lockups on downshift can add to the adrenalin, you can't
beat opposite locking INTO a corner.................that's why I like autograss!!
