Attention all good drivers!
Well I just started to race my car and I wanted to know if you guys know any tips on doing this.
So far I know about "double clutching" which is when you shift up and quickly disengauge your clutch to increase the rev and ingauge it again. I don't know if this does any damage to the engine or the clutch but i know it helps you buld up rev and pressure and gives you a boost. Anyone else know any other tips |

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Yeah, it burns 5000 miles off the clutch each time you do it. You can also practice the heel and toe which is when you brake with your toes and as you down shift, press the gas with your heel to match the engine speed to the car speed, that's all I can say since Ican't do it, my legs are to long. :-S

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Yea, but he said that he is racing, not drifting. I doubt he is gonna Heel-Toe while dragging. lol. That would be funny. If you are runing a really close race, the you can powershift which means that you just barely even let off the gas pedal if any at all, then shove the clutch in and shift as fast as possible and release it. I would not recommend doing this as it puts high amounts of stress mainly on the clutch, but I have done it my share of times when I had to. Anyway, good luck becoming a fast driver.

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Heel and toe also works for autocross and time trials and stuff like that, not just drifting, anything with corners.

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Isn't double clutching the uber crazy trick that big Vin used in the first FNF????!!! Seriosuly, isn't it like Heel and toe except you hit the clutch twice?

Re: Attention all good drivers!
HAHAHAHAHA double clutching, nothing beats a quick smooth shift, if you can shift quick enough it would be pointless to rev the engine. please stop watching FnF.

seriously tho, double clutching is something racers used back in the olden days when cars didnt have synchro meshing is theirs trannies. but all modern cars these days have synchro meshing so double clutching is waste of time and a good way to humiliate urself. i admit, i tried double clutching before, just to see if it actually works. did it twice then imidiately slapped myself for even tryin it. best way to shift is quick n smooth, nuthin else

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Usually in any type of racing, whatever method you feel most comfortable doing and practice the most is the quickest for you. There is no one right way.

Re: Attention all good drivers!
^ amen... nothing beats seat time and individually honed skills... Be creative... if you drive/"race" long enough... you'll figure out what's best in your style.
heel-toe, double-clutch, power shiTTing, etc... they are just basics or BS ... so just knowing that won't necessarily make you a fast "so-called" racer.

on modern cars with intact synchros you dont really need to double clutch, especially if you drag race look here please http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=375770 and if you drift, autocross, road race, rally, ect. you NEED to learn how to heel-toe this may help VVV http://www.tcsracing.org/heelandtoe.htm other than that just work on not missing shifts, hooking up your wheels on the launch, and reaction time

Re: Attention all good drivers!
Double clutching is used on older cars (like someone already said) and mosly during down shifting,
you put the car in nutral, release the clutch, rev to match the rpm on the next gear, press in clutch and shift to desired gear. I use this when i am in nutral at around 80mph (highways) and need to go back to gear. When downshifting always rev match, rev up a bit while the clutch is in, less ware. And do you drag on street or do the racing in closed environments with supervision? Don't do it on the streets, it is dangerouse and stupid, besides putting yourself at risk you also put others at risk.

Re: Attention all good drivers!
pavlo, you just described heel-and-toe. (Except you don't push the clutch in twice, just once.)
