Title: Senna - Heel Toe
Post by: rich83 on January 03, 2012, 12:28:24 pm

Thought this might be of use to the DSG owners...  :signLOL:

The jabbing of the throttle seams a bit aggressive but it obviously works!

Great clip, his style was astonishing, he had such feel for the car. You'd swear with those socks it was Michael Jackson driving, shamon.
The Golf is a nice car for doing heel and toe so I'm with Matt in voting for the real box (although I have big love for DSG) :grin:
This is me doing heel and toe on a driver training day (15 seconds in), with equally special shoes and none of the talent  :signLOL:

Is it possible to left foot brake or heel-and-toe on the MK5 golf? I thoughth the ECU prevented the engine from revving when the brakes are applied. I know companies like Shark are able to map this out but I thought it would be the case on standard cars.

Link that made me think:

LFB yes, H&T not so much - but then whilst it's a good skill to have, it's not that necessary in FWD. Try dropping a gear in mine and not being careful, you'll see where you've just been in an instant!!

This really shows the God like skill he had on how to get back on the throttle super early.

Makes even dodgy loafers and white socks look bearable dancing on the pedals.

Shame we never saw Senna v Schumi battles post May '94.
