i like the loafers.
I too can do that!!! not to hard at all. Just not in Loafer though!!!!!!!! You just slide your foot over and rotate the foot to blip the throttle. Really to me not using the heel.

The name, stemming from earlier automotive designs where the accelerator pedal was on the left and could be actuated with the heel while the brake pedal was actuated with the toe, is misleading regarding how the technique is carried out in modern cars

I loved watching Senna drive and race. He was incredible.
I drive with this technique daily. Second nature.

Great vid! You can tell by all the countersteering even in steady-state cornering that it's exceptionally neutral for a street car. I like his style of feeling the balance of the car and fine-tuning its attitude by pulsing the throttle on corner exits.
i got used to doing it in flat dress shoes.... because commuting in an underpowered subaru sometimes required it, just to keep up with traffic. it'd throw me off when I wore something else.
I recall taking a 3-series M for a test drive with my SCCA buddy. He was serious about the car and the salesman came with us. we split the driving. On the way back I pulled a 5th-to-2nd heel-toe into the parking lot off a really bad street (high speed, the nature of traffic up there was not kind to folks who gradually braked) and that bimmer nearly read my mind... usually need to know the car to get it to hook up right, but it just *knew* what I was thinking. Smooth. I was shocked at how seamless it was in that car. My buddy, the guy that taught me to do it, was proud too. The salesman was stunned and just said, "how, uh, what, uh..."
it was a neat moment.

There will never be another like Senna. A truly great talent. Here is some other great footwork footage of the great Walter Rohrl. Check out the crowd. Crazy...

That is impressive. The crowd obviously has some serious confidence in him, or they just got tired of running with the bulls because it's too tame.
