@chuckinchina6926 5 лет назад

It was great to see this in a graphic, and I'm reevaluating the way I shift as a result lol. The best way to learn is just to go out and practice, if it feels like you are hurting the car, you are. But you'll get a feel for it. The way I learned was just in everyday driving, there are two general techniques, and I find myself using both. One is the classic flashy kick the heel out to blip the throttle, the other is perhaps more efficient, and the way I started to learn. Just roll your foot on to the gas with the edge of your foot, that's how most racing drivers do it. It really depends on the size of your pedal box, you'll get a feel for it, and then just practice practice practice.

@socks2441 2 года назад

i always thought rolling the foot and twisting the foot accomplished the same thing, so whilst rolling is not technically heel and toe, that is still what i call it. for my sim racing setup i dont have the angles right, and my leg is not flexible enough to do the full heel and toe, so i half roll and half twist to blip the throttle.

@Aeshir2 5 лет назад

engine braking is great practice for downshifting. it also helps you slow down more predictably (actually helping traffic flow for everybody), saves your brakes in the long run (at the cost of your clutch ofc), saves your brakes in the short run (can save your life in long descents), and keeps you always in the right gear, largely reducing the need for heel-toe, especially useful if you have a really laggy clutch delay valve like my 09 Honda fit that makes shifting in general a crapshoot

@socks2441 2 года назад

depending on how early you release the clutch while doing heel toe you still can use engine braking. which i always thought was a good thing, but upon recent research (googling..) i have found many people saying engine braking has no benefit in a racing scenario. so im not sure anymore.

@MrFus1on 5 лет назад

Hello from Ukraine! Thank you for a great, easy to understand videos, guys! I have a question which I ask myself for a pretty long time, so I will be extremely thankful for an answer. Knowing torque vs RPM graph of my car and gear ratios, how should I calculate a perfect time for upshifts to get up to speed for a minimal amount of time? It's obvious that RPM shoud be a bit higher than a peak. But how much would be optimal? There are moments which drive me crazy like it's better to shift on a higher speed because while you are switching it you will pass a bit greater distance which will turn in seconds after a while.

@trykozmaksym 5 лет назад

You need Power chart, not Torque. Make maximum power (the area under the line) in each gear - that's how you get the fastest acceleration. In other words - hit maximum RPM you can because rev limiters usually don't let you go beyond.

@Tamarocker88 5 лет назад

The short answer: Shift at red line for every shift. Gear ratios tend to have a larger impact on acceleration than the gains of perfecting the optimal shift based on the car's power band. The long answer: It is complicated and shifting at red line isn't the perfect solution. For a professional racer, they are going to maximize their acceleration based on their car's power band. Typically, Because of the ratio changes for each gear it is more efficient from an acceleration perspective to stay in a lower gear as long as possible before shifting to a higher gear. For example: you will typically accelerate faster at redline in 2nd gear than you would at the bottom of 3rd gear, faster at the red line of 3rd gear than the bottom of 4th gear etc....etc.... There is, however, variation in power output throughout the RPM band, making it feasible that shifting to a higher gear at lower RPM would be better than staying in the same gear and revving higher. Let's say for example that you are in 2nd gear, considering shifting from 2nd to 3rd. If your engine's power falls off above your current RPM in 2nd gear and shifting up to 3rd gear at this moment would put the engine into a lower and more powerful RPM range, it would offer better acceleration than staying in 2nd gear to redline. It all depends on the car's power output through the RPM range. The ideal time to shift is to do so in such a way that you optimize the power output at every moment.

@MrFus1on 5 лет назад

@@Tamarocker88 Thank you for an answer. Actually yeah, I have a diesel car and it's torque drops a lot before it reaches red line. So the long answer is the case I'm facing. Of course gear ratios is the most meaningful part of an equation but there might be something else like some engine/transmission timings or wind drag impact or some other crazy thing which moves optimal shift point a to bit higher or lower RPM than torque and gear ratios equation says.

@Jet-Pack 5 лет назад

Is there a rpm indicator that, when in neutral, shows you an rpm target? For your current speed you could have a needle for each of the gears available to you to shift to and then use that rev matching to move your actual rpm to one of those needles. How is that not a thing yet?

@Tamarocker88 5 лет назад

It's probably possible to have a pair of gauges, each displaying the target RPM for upshifting or downshifting given current speed. The problem is, what does that really do for the driver? It still comes down to 100% human feel. The driver has to hit the gas with just the right touch to blip into the target range and let the clutch back out at just the right time for a smooth shift. If the driver gives it too much or too little gas or is too slow on the shift/clutch the car will either jolt or the clutch will get a little extra wear from being over the target. Alternatively, the car can have a rev-matching system that handles the rev-match for you. This obviously negates the need for such an RPM target gauge.

@Shuten_Wukong 5 лет назад

I've been hit or miss on my rev matching with my Cadillac ATS 2.0TRWD street driving wise. I've had successful rev matches from 5 to 2 and then I'll have instances where I OVER rev match (excessive revving beyond the intended target rev range) gear depending.

@Teamoneilrally 5 лет назад

With newer drive-by-wire electronic throttle pedals, sometimes strange things happen... The sensitivity of your throttle pedal is now computer controlled, sometimes there is a bit of lag when you first blip the throttle then you get more than you wanted. If you learn with a throttle cable then go to a newer car like this, there is definitely a learning curve again and each car will be slightly different. Sport Mode usually helps, or if you have a Track Mode or anything that sharpens throttle response.

@Tamarocker88 5 лет назад

@@Teamoneilrally Thank you so freaking much for confirming what I suspected! Sometimes when I try to rev match in my 500 Abarth, the throttle gives me much less of a rev than I expect based on the input. I know the car is throttle by wire, so that would explain it! I naturally learned to compensate for the throttle response by briefly flooring the pedal to get the RPM spike I need for a smooth shift.

@mart3058 5 лет назад

In some cars that drop rpm faster you can keep a little pressure on the gas as you upshift to get a smoother shift

@carloscampos7332 5 лет назад

Although the car would stall at low RPM’s shouldn’t all the lines for each gears star at 0 rpm and 0 mph? Even if in practice all the speeds for each gerar below 1.000 rpm or so (depending on the car) might cause it to stall. As long as you take note for a single speed RPM pair for each gear you can plot this chart

@timwintersoncntr 5 лет назад

@Teamoneilrally 5 лет назад

Yeah you're right! You could start them all at 0/0 and just know anything under 800RPM or so would be stalled out.

@Tamarocker88 5 лет назад

What do manual drivers who DON'T rev-match do when they need to downshift? Just switch gears and run with a jerky shift, putting undue stress on their drivetrain? I remember being in the car with some seasoned manual drivers who drove smoothly, but I don't remember hearing them blip the throttle whenever they had to downshift. Even if you stay in gear until you're at the bottom of the RPM range for your car, downshifting at that point still isn't smooth because the RPMs still jump higher than they were in the previous gear.

@Teamoneilrally 5 лет назад

Most drivers downshift then let the clutch out really slowly to avoid the jerkiness, basically slipping the clutch... It's a lot slower way to shift and wears out the friction material on the clutch disc. Matching the RPM lets you shift way faster and easier on the car, it just takes a while before it's natural.

@ragweedmakesmesneeze 3 года назад

@@Teamoneilrally True! That's how I was taught by my dad to shift. Years later, at a Skip Barber Formula Racing school, I was nearly brought to tears as they tried to teach me heel toe AND double clutching AT THE SAME TIME. Add to that the dynamics of being stuffed into a tiny cockpit with a shifter that required the "T-rex" arm/hand position. It was too much for my little brain to process at once at the time.

@socks2441 2 года назад

@@ragweedmakesmesneeze isnt double clutching just for really old vehicles, or trucks or something? having to push the clutch in, then put it in neutral, release cltuch, push clutch back in, put it in appropriate gear, and release clutch again sounds awfully slow. why would formual one school teach that? forgive me if im ignorant, i dont know much about these things.

@ragweedmakesmesneeze 2 года назад

@@socks2441 So technically speaking double clutching and rev matching is required of all cars that don't have "syncro" gears. These help match and ease the transition between the main gears. Modern F1 cars are automatics, but most schools start you off in very basic opened-wheel formula cars that have a traditional manual transmission. The reason why they teach you "heel toe downshifting" is that if you were to do a traditional shift in a turn for example, the balance of the car could be upset and throw you off your line. The rev-matched shift keeps everything nice and smooth. The double clutching? Well, for older race car drivers, they do it in the blink of an eye without even thinking. It's one of the many eye opening things that you learn when you go to a race car driving school. How crazy good an actual pro driver is (and how bad we mere mortal are)!

@socks2441 2 года назад

he didnt mention engine braking. i think i have misunderstood engine braking for a long time due to never having raced a manual transmission irl, and never researched correct technique. i use engine braking while heel tow downshifting. which im guessing i shouldnt. from this it looks like you should downshift to lower rpms. even on the first downshift, not the one you are going to stay in for the corner. i used to think engine braking was beneficial for better braking along with using the actual brakes. for better stability and shorter braking distance. in a way it made sense to me, i mean, when you apply brakes there is no flywheel type momentum to keep the wheels spinning other than their grip on the road, but with engine braking the wheels wont lock up. they cant. they have the engines momentum. so that always sort of made some sort of illogical logic to me. of course you can still cause a slide if your wheels are moving at a different speed to the car due to rpm mismatch. and that for all intents and purposes would be very similar to wheels locking up. i think my incrorect assumption started back as a kid playing forza motorsport 4 with a gamepad and noticing i can brake way better when using manual transmission as opposed to automatic. but that was a mostly arcade game... silly thing to learn anything from. anywho, so is there any benefit to engine braking? like during a downshift while aggressively braking, is there any benefit to releasing the clutch slightly early so there is maybe a 500-100rpm rev mismatch with car speed and engine speed so the engine helps slow the car, or should you always aim for the perfect downshift where you let the clutch out low in a gears rpm range with the blip perfectly at or just above where it will end up. if that makes any sense...?
