Heel and Toe Question
Discussion
What is the advantage of;
brake >-- apply the clutch >-- move gearlever into neutral >-- lift clutch >-- blip throttle >-- reapply the clutch >-- select lower gear >-- lift clutch
I seem to be able to get a seemless downchange simply by;
brake >-- apply clutch >-- >move gearlever into neutral >-- blip throttle >-- select lower gear >-- lift clutch
Basically I don't pull the clutch pedal up and reapply before selecting the lower gear. Am I being less sensitive to the car in some way?

It is double de-clutching but in an article by John Barker that I have is basically the example used by him as the correct "heel and toe" technique. The article is titled "How to Heel and Toe".
It recommends double de-clutching even with a synchro gearbox as it "smooths out things even more".
