Oulton Park Trackday review : Edition 30
RedRobin:
^^^^
No, I wasn't thinking heel&toe. The DSG responds to any use of either the throttle or the brake pedals - It finds it helpful in anticipating which cog to offer next (very simplified description). My thinking is that by using both pedals at the same time, the sensor system may become confused. I might be being a complete muppet about this!
I'm sure I'm not alone in not wanting to use D-mode on any track or German special toll road or for any spirited driving. I wouldn't recommend S-mode for those environments either (having tried it), but some people may.

Dunno - I only ever use M on track and I don't have any issues using my left foot. Brake kills throttle, but not the other way around, so it's just about having your foot ready to power on and balancing the two for smoothness.
As for the DSG, it may try and anticipate next change direction by which peddle you're on - but I don't imagine it'll action that change unnecessarily?

Cheers, I'll give it a go when circumstances allow :happy2:

Do a trackday at somewhere like Bedford, or another ex-airfield. Sure they're boring, but they're ideal to learn your craft as all you're hitting is miles of grass should you overcook it.
Anyways, we're dragging a review into technique and that's not something to learn or teach on a forum. :happy2:

Felt like I was there with you! :happy2:
