OK, this question has had me fretting since Saturday's event.
I was talking to my co-courseworker, Darryl, who said that
he runs his Cabriolet through almost the entire course in 2nd
gear. Now what I've found is that I'm losing lots of time by
trying -- and usually failing -- to heel-and-toe downshift into
1st on the slower turns. So should I just forget about downshifting
in autocrosses, or should I work on perfecting heel-and-toe?
What are y'all doing out there -- left-foot braking w/o shifting?
I'm driving an ES Hyundai Tiburon (140bhp, FWD), if that affects
the answer.
Anybody want to help a newcomer out? This feels like such a
stupid question that I hate myself for asking it, but there it is.
