Similarly, when I get to a red light, I use heel & toe, double clutching & rev. matching for the 4-3 and 3-2 downshifts. In the videos I've seen, professional drivers rarely skip gears while downshifting, probably in order not to break the rythm. They complete multiple heel-toes in a little over a second and I try to emulate that. Naively, I thought those skills would be an asset when I start autoXing.
I've done a lot of left-foot braking on the xbox :thumbup: but not yet on a 3-pedal car. :chuckles:
You don't need to double shift most Hondas. That's just wasting time especially when you are racing.
