Ì've tried both ways;

1. toes on the brake and heel on the gas
2. toes partially on the brakes and partially on the gas.

On street #2 seems to work better for me but at the track I noticed I was slipping my foot from the break pedal too easily. That's very scary when coming down from +150mph at turn one at Moroso. Hence I have tried the option #1 also but it seems almost impossible to get my heel comfortably on the gas and I ended up getting jerky downshifts and braking...

On the other hand, a friend of mine who is a very experienced driver, had no problems heel & toe'ing using method #1 in my car.

Is it just me and my crumpy legs or which method do you guys use on the 996 GT3???

Any input/help would be appreciated as this is technique I definately want/need to master!

Thanks!
