Heel-and-toeing is a term widely used in motorsport, referring to a driving technique that involves pressing down the brake pedal with the ball of the foot while simultaneously tapping the accelerator pedal with the heel of the same foot. This action helps in maintaining vehicle stability while downshifting during the course of a turn. Some synonyms for heel-and-toeing include "rev-matching," "throttle-blipping," and "double-clutching." Each of these driving techniques helps the driver to shift gears and maintain control over the speed and balance of the vehicle. In high-performance driving, such skills are essential for smooth, efficient, and safe driving.
