Good point! A long time ago when I was a BMW guy I started going to manufacturer organized track events. It was there I realized the limits of most these cars were well above my capabilities. Then I bought a Lotus and felt I didn't have the sack to go anywhere near that car's limits. Fast forward many years and most performance car manufacturers are all in the track game. The single best tool to getting people to understand car control and what a specific car can do . . .
With these lessons, one can really realise that driving, performance driving or even racing is a discipline. Most people tend to believe that racers are crazy speed freak knowing only how to mash on the pedal and doing everything fast and erratically. But this is not the case, as we heard the man saying, it's all about doing everything patiently, not rushing through every maneuver.
thaik56 theres also a way how to turn the wheel properly when going hand over hand a lot of people do it wrong by touching the wheel in the wrong place and too many times Just like walking and running, there is a proper way but a lot of people do it slightly or totally wrong only the real athletes that have to do it properly are where it's really shown why it has to be done right
@401Brook That stunning place is the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham/Leeds, Alabama. I would be lying to you if I didn't tell you I was shocked to find this gem. It is also the home of the largest Motorcycle museum in the country as well as the largest collection of Lotus race cars in the world! Between the Lotus collection and Hurley's kind invitation, this trip was a no brainer. The Southern hospitality and food was a plus!
Host: I got to tell you, this Patience thing is hard to learn. Hurley: Yeah, well you got to be patient. Conclusion: you got to be patient to learn patience
Thank you, sir . . . No joke, I am seriously thankful for the opportunity and over the years now fortunate enough to call him friend. If you liked this, you DEFINITELY have to watch our Inside the MotoMan Studio special with Hurley - where he not only gives insight into racing, but serious life advice . . . th-cam.com/video/RrWv5kCuOok/w-d-xo.html
MotoManTV Thanks for that. I've been lucky enough to do 1, 2 and most recently the 3 day race license course and spend some time on and off the track with Hurley. Great instructor and just great people. Not often you get to meet and interact with people you look up to and even more rare that the person is as nice as Hurley. First time I met him he introduced himself to ME... I about fell over, HA HA. I'm glad you made this so others can enjoy his fabulous insights and learn from a master.
Yup, i had my 911 come around on me one day, it was a long way down to the bottom of the canyon, but thankfully my 911 stayed on the tarmac, lol. Scary stuff but an awesome car and still learning the 911 dance.... roller coaster fun!
@CrashBandikoot7 Thank you very much for the kind words - we had A LOT of fun putting this one together. As for the frequency of the show, we are premiering new episodes every WEEK! Spread the word . .
Interesting comment at the end about appreciating Porsches. I felt exactly the same after a Jaguar driving event I attended with pro drivers teaching. I've come to the conclusion that its not really that one top-end brand is any better than another, but that most good cars are actually way more capable than you could ever discover before you learn to drive them properly. Its a great feeling when you really discover what the car is about. One that even good road-only drivers will never know.
I could heel and toe on my Miata ND with no problem. But I found it quite challenging to heel and toe in my GT3 RS. The brake pedal is much higher on my GT3 RS. I think I have to run it on a much higher speed, must brake harder(step onto the brake pedal harder then blip on the gas). No easy on the GT3RS. 🦅🦅🇺🇸
LOL... I love it when someone who thinks they're so good at driving manual is shown there is always another level to graduate to. Once you stop learning, it doesn't mean you've learned everything there is to learn, it just means you've stopped pushing yourself. Then it's time to get an automatic.
Pivoting my heel was never comfortable or easily to modulate for me. I instead half step the brake and cluch, but this requires the pedals to be close enough together so the width of your foot is greater than the distance between the pedals. I needed a throttle relocation bracket for my Civic Si.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out you don't have to be a macho man with big muscles to drive a racing car faster than most others, Hurley is the man.
If Hurley Effin Haywood invites you to his personal track and says 'I am going to teach you how to Heel Toe properly' you say thank you and get on the plane!
I dunno, personally I've always appreciated other car brands. Perhaps it's because my interests are always changing. However my loyalty for 90's BMW's will never change.
I appreciate this video. But you know what? I learned heel-and-toe when I was 19 years old, just a year after I got my licence. It's best to start off with some older car that has a proper mechanical throttle, not an electronic one. Then it helps if your synchros are a bit older, because if you pull the gearlever and match the revs, you will feel the gearlever will jump into place. That helps judging how much throttle you should apply. Plus,you don't have to be traveling that fast to learn it:)
Hey Hurley! When the Porsche Experience Center opens here in Carson California, will you teach me how to heel and toe in my 78 911SC? What a treat that would be..
Great episode! Tremendously informative and entertaining. Would love to see a greater focus on Motorsport, like this. You did really well, especially since you had a master and a camera judging your every move.
what does he mean by the out stroke? (I am thinking he means blip the throttle as you are about to reengage the clutch but before t actually engages). Thanks in advance.
When driving on a race track, you are on a long strait line with fall speed at 6 gear, there is a corner in the front, so you wanna brake and change to 2 gear, so how do you do with a car that have manual transmission? I know with DCT transmission with paddle shift cars you just hit the brake, and click the downshift paddle for 4 times sequentially shift from 6 to2. But with a manual car, do you need to hit the clutch and rev match for 4 times to downshift sequentially?
+Fante Meng I'm not 100% sure but when it comes to racing, the goal is to approach, enter, corner and exit at the fastest speed possible. In any scenario involving downshifting for a corner, I would say it would be ideal to go through each gear. This helps keep the car balanced when slowing down; if you were to hard brake into such a slow corner w/o downshifting 5, 4, 3, 2 it would become very difficult for the car to keep good traction, especially if the tires slide or the brakes lock (which they would be very likely to do on a gear like that). If you are matching the gear with the speed that the car is going, it will keep better traction, and it will help slow the car down with each downshift (making it easier on the brakes). That way, when the corner comes, you are already downshifting from 3rd to 2nd and easing off the brake, easing onto the accelerator. Ready to match the cornering speed and exit the turn at the highest speed. Make sense? There are many benefits of downshifting each gear when cornering. Traction, better and faster braking, you can more easily match engine speed with tire/vehicle speed, better prepared for wheel spin/brake lock, etc.
+gozinta82 yes I already know the answer, doing rev matching is a very cool thing both on the street and in the track. I just got my new Boxster with manual transmission, this is my first car, and I can feel i am improving my shifting skills everyday.
+Fante Meng Ideally you want to downshift equentially, but if your engine speed has gone down too fast under hard braking, you can skip a gear going down - just have to be careful the revs don't soar too high when you're skipping a gear going down- and also avoid downshifting hard coming in to acorner but try do finish downshifting whilst the car is still straight. You can take hints with regards to manual driving on the racetrack by watching Best Motoring videos (awesome!)
Stephen R Thanks for the reply, i already got the answer. I have driving a manual sport car everyday with rev matching downshift every time for half a year now, and i can say i have learnt the rev matches now. heel toe is a thing really need plenty of times to let the body understand the sequence. I started from downshifting with out braking(off course not at very high rpm), so just blip the throttle while shifting, doing this for about 2 or 3 months, then I almost can hit the right amount of gas at the right time, and release the clutch flawlessly. Then I begins the rev matching practice in a big parking lot. I have a 981 Boxster, don't know why the pedal position is very tricky, checked many videos on the youtube, finally find out the best way for me on this car. the method in this hurley haywood video is not usable on my car unfortunately. The method I used is kind of like what "vehicle virgins", "ayrton senna's honda nsx" and chris harris did in cayman GT4 video. also different shoes works differently, I prefers wearing a DC skateboard shoes or a ralph lauren shoes, both are around 40 dollars, nice bargain.
Has car show, can't heel/toe. Something's rotten in Denmark. You also must master double-clutch and double-declutch for non-synchro gearboxes. Then seek out an old vehicle with non-synchro manual gearbox and show us your newfound skills!
I'm still struggling with his pocket square clashing with those Chuck Taylor looking things. Actually maybe I should start with the jeans and that blazer? C'mon now America you can do better than that 😂🤦♂️
I don't agree, On the road you don't need to heal toe , its only really used on track to drive fast. If you need to do this on the road your driving too fast, and should save it for the track. Respect other road users safety.
The first thing I noticed here is two people pushing a high performance sports car near the limit with no safety gear. The next thing that really astonished me is Motoman driving with no safety gear and NO safety belt. Look at the 11:36 point and tell me he has not forgotten to put on the safety belt. Other than that it is very informative. Next time at least wear helmets and for crying out loud never ever start the engine without first putting on your safety belt.
I "would agree with you," except the video shows quite clearly, he couldn't do proper heel/toe prior to the episode... So I don't think briskandpepsi's question was entirely uncalled for.... Heel/toe is NOT something only professional race drivers do... If you drive with a manual trans, ... you SHOULD know how to heel/toe... (Your car will thank you later....) So the question stands.... How do you become the host of an automotive show without basic driving skills???
This guy is one of the Biggest narcissistic individuals around. Just because his "Name" would not be on the car for his last "Race", he flakes out and is just going to make his "Appearance" at the race. Are you joking me??
So much embarrassment for a grown man not to know how to do this. Typical of the US non 'Stick' upbringing. Lazy driving and teaching in most countries though. This should be taught when you first get your licence. 101...
Heel-toe shifting isn't necessary for every day driving relax man. Idk what roads or situations you find yourself on so often that you have to be coming out of hard turns ready to step on it. For every day driving downshifting and coasting through the turn works just fine. Sure its fun but its performance driving and that's not something you want new drivers concerning themselves with. I'd rather they focus more on the rules of the road and not running over pedestrians or crashing into every car they come across than worry about what's going on with their revs.
Sorry, but disagree. If heel toe is taught when you first get your licence as well as other pertinent details, then we're all better off. Heel and toe isn't just about performance driving. It's about matching engine and gearbox revs. When I'm driving a manual gearbox car I heel and toe on every downshift. 95% of people I share the roads with are pretty poor drivers in my estimation. That comes down to Govt's not implementing actual proper driver training when we're kids. If you're worried about not crashing into every car you come across or running over pedestrians then driver training is a definite must.
BAE51C yeah haha, I have only owned stick shifts till now, and I heel toe a lot, its much better to put it in neutral, I only heel toe if I'm in gear 4 to 6 any less then nuetral.....drive 2011 subaru sti

But this is not the case, as we heard the man saying, it's all about doing everything patiently, not rushing through every maneuver.
thaik56 theres also a way how to turn the wheel properly when going hand over hand
a lot of people do it wrong by touching the wheel in the wrong place and too many times
Just like walking and running, there is a proper way but a lot of people do it slightly or totally wrong
only the real athletes that have to do it properly are where it's really shown why it has to be done right
@401Brook That stunning place is the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham/Leeds, Alabama. I would be lying to you if I didn't tell you I was shocked to find this gem. It is also the home of the largest Motorcycle museum in the country as well as the largest collection of Lotus race cars in the world! Between the Lotus collection and Hurley's kind invitation, this trip was a no brainer. The Southern hospitality and food was a plus!
Believe it or not, Hurley is in his mid sixties . . . That tells me one thing: Racing cars is the fountain of youth!
Host: I got to tell you, this Patience thing is hard to learn.
Hurley: Yeah, well you got to be patient.
Conclusion: you got to be patient to learn patience
patient people don't become patient by not being patient after all
Wow you are so fortunate with a master Mr Haywood sharing with you the skills. Great video. Thank You.
MotoMan, outstanding video. What a wonderful privilege to be learning from the GREAT Hurley Haywood.

Nice teaching. Now I know why they do the blip in all of its details, and that it has to be done right - which window is small.

This is a great video. Why does it not have more views!??
Would love to receive such a driving lesson from this legend of motor sport, but this is valuable in itself.
Great video, great lesson and what a great opportunity.

Hurley is a class act
Thank you . . .
I learned heel and toe while deliverying pizzas. lol
I learned it by delivering tofu hahaha.
brln93
I learned it driving around prostitutes
learned it when I tried learning it.
Mike Krenz I learned it when I was a prostitute.
carl shneebly did you learn it from the driver by chance?
Thank you!
what a great day, thanks for the video
That song in the end.. so much groove!
HH an awesome taskmaster. Such a scientist.
LOL... I love it when someone who thinks they're so good at driving manual is shown there is always another level to graduate to. Once you stop learning, it doesn't mean you've learned everything there is to learn, it just means you've stopped pushing yourself. Then it's time to get an automatic.
what a great lesson from the master thanks.
AMAZING Place - you will love it. Make certain you carve out some time to check out the Barber Motorsports Museum!
WHat is that groovy song at the end?
Just received a free racing lesson from Hurley Haywood!
The problem now is getting that car (",)
Pivoting my heel was never comfortable or easily to modulate for me. I instead half step the brake and cluch, but this requires the pedals to be close enough together so the width of your foot is greater than the distance between the pedals. I needed a throttle relocation bracket for my Civic Si.

He certainly is!

No worries... great upload
Thank you for the advice. We will plan an extra day.
Barber is such a beautiful track. Love watching Grand-AM there.
Great video. Good prep for me as I’m headed to Birmingham for the two day driving school next year.
I dunno, personally I've always appreciated other car brands. Perhaps it's because my interests are always changing. However my loyalty for 90's BMW's will never change.

BOORING
i just got done doing this all day, at first i had to brake late and hard to do it, but once i adjusted i can do it while normal braking/ driving
Hey Hurley! When the Porsche Experience Center opens here in Carson California, will you teach me how to heel and toe in my 78 911SC? What a treat that would be..
We would LOVE to see your reel . . .
@MotoManTV i definitly will :-)
@sandyman099 Thank you very much for your concern. Belts were worn at ALL times. You will notice that my blazer covered the belt at 11:36 . . .
Excellent video, well done...
I NEED those classes.
I have never heard of either of these 2guys before but they seem to know what they are doing..
the best episode to date! btw, how are you able to keep the show alive if you come out with an episode every few months?
Great vid!
Great episode! Tremendously informative and entertaining. Would love to see a greater focus on Motorsport, like this. You did really well, especially since you had a master and a camera judging your every move.
can I know the back ground music in the tenth minute love it the owner of this video fulfil my wish
I love heel toe shifting. Unfortunately, I own a Bronco, so the driving experience isn't the sportiest. =P
What's the music in tenth minutes .what is it. Makes the driving more enjoyable to watch
Fun video, Haywood, like Redmond and Rohl is a Porsche master. Anyone know that song that starts at 21:57 or so, been looking for it forever.
I may have read this wrong , (unless you are saying it should be used off tack as well)
what does he mean by the out stroke? (I am thinking he means blip the throttle as you are about to reengage the clutch but before t actually engages). Thanks in advance.
Exactly buddy!
Outstroke is letting the clutch pedal come up. It must be an American phrase.
In, shift/blip, out. Just takes practice...
Oh ! Although over 40 years ago (!?) Mr. Hurley Haywood my hero still look were smart and to be young like Yesteryear ( So really you !?)
nice video
@MotoManTV
Ok I see it now that you pointed it out. I looked three times before commenting and couldn't find the strap.
Sorry
maybe in the aircooled days. Now they are normally pretty balanced
porche is the sexiest car in tge world.
What is @motoman putting when he refers to the "Porsche Spyder?" I'm 10000% sure that's not what HH was referring to....

Absolutely YESSSSSA !?, Now a day I'm still going on SPEED ( not RACING , so it very expensive..fountain ( Oop..sss !?! )
Dude what is the name of the music in tenth minute is cool
Has car show, can't heel/toe. Something's rotten in Denmark. You also must master double-clutch and double-declutch for non-synchro gearboxes. Then seek out an old vehicle with non-synchro manual gearbox and show us your newfound skills!
"heel and toe not for street drivine"... well in Germany it is.
Kaipeternicolas but when you actually heel and toe on a street drive w/o massive driving then you are doing it completely unnecessarily
ant a Yep. Very right.
Kaipeternicolas yup
Lol I heel toe every down shift in America.."speed" laws are meant to be broken haha
Atlas _ Heel toe when you want. I was just thinking about being efficient all the time but the sound blip is gone if you have a loud exhaust.
I'm still struggling with his pocket square clashing with those Chuck Taylor looking things. Actually maybe I should start with the jeans and that blazer? C'mon now America you can do better than that 😂🤦♂️
I want Hurley Haywood to be my grand dad.
I don't agree, On the road you don't need to heal toe , its only really used on track to drive fast. If you need to do this on the road your driving too fast, and should save it for the track. Respect other road users safety.
anyone knows about the background music in tenth minute
I need to find out urgent
12:32 for the start of the lessom
Get to the point, man! Too much useless chatter.
Alexi7666 Motoman is always verbose and rather geeky. Sometimes too much for me, but I appreciate how thorough and in depth he gets.
@brln93 lol initial D?
when in doubt pinky out
i feel like some of the slow mo shots were unnecessary
How can a car host not know how to heel toe prior to getting the job?
@11:38 worst downshift ever
5 intros in this video. Switch to 6:03
Why is he not wearing a seat belt at 9:51?
Mr GShocker Absolutely am . . . Sometimes the jacket hides it . . .
Why is he wearing a suit?
i hear of you can drive a porsche you can drive anything.
Hurley doesn't need a helmet
The first thing I noticed here is two people pushing a high performance sports car near the limit with no safety gear. The next thing that really astonished me is Motoman driving with no safety gear and NO safety belt. Look at the 11:36 point and tell me he has not forgotten to put on the safety belt.

That attempt at a slow mo shot just looked like REALLY slow driving...
I get tired of watching this guy muck up basic driving techniques. Probably just jealous that I am not the one behind the wheel...

Can i be your mechanic please ;)
