heel on the brake, toe on the gas, or the opposite, whichever is comfortable for the driver.

Simply put:

Braking while downshifting.

Head to our motorsports forum and driving techniques forum. That's where this has been explained and discussed in detail.

Mr Chef

Correctly done it's only right foot toes on the brake and right foot heel stabbing the throttle.

The reason it's this way is so you can feel the threshhold or impending lockup of the brakes with your toe. You cannot feel it the other way around. It may feel awkward the first times you try it but it is an extremely valuable technique.

heres is the link I think Warrtalon mentioned: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=176763

Better when using a RWD car but still effective when done right in AWD.

Mr Chef

It's for all types of cars regardless of FWD, RWD or AWD. Any of the aforementioned can be upset/unbalanced into or through a turn. The RWD car might be more prone to oversteer but that doesn't mean that heel-toe is more effective for a RWD platform. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

Yeah, heel-toe is not drivetrain-specific. It's a driving technique that is useful for any car.
