That's from Best Motoring, I can't remember which one. The guy in the GT-R couldn't drive worth a damn. Tsuchiya and Orido are 2 of the best drivers in Japan!

when normal people try to slow down, they let off the gas to down shift (normally) it drops the rpms. the people in the video put in the clutch and gas at the same time (to keep rpms high) while down shifting and hitting brakes to slow down. confusing, i know. alotta things going on at once.

well actually. its so the engine and tires are at the same speed... I dont suggest you try this but I know because I did it once..


Driving anRWD car.. go 60 mph in 5th, take it out of gear till it falls to idle, and then put it in second and let up the clutch...

What happens?

The rear wheels lock up because theengine cant accelerate to road speed RPM fast enough, and the tires get a screetching deceleration from road speed down to engine speed...

You use heel-toe downshifting to make sure that the difference from road speed to engine speed during the shift is minimal as possible during the gearshift, so that no such lockups unbalance the car....

In drifting, downshifting with out rev matching is used to initiate a drift in the form called "clutch drag"
