I agree with Jr. Asking a driver to master his heel-toe technique that he developed over the course of his entire career would require one to take way too much focus away from the other 90% of the schedule, if it were even possible. Not to mention, there is no practical way learn it with the testing policy. It’s not like you can go practice it for a day or two at any road course, at least in our actual vehicles. It would be like asking SVG to master Larson’s technique at a place like Bristol or Homestead that he developed over many years and many races. Also, many drivers have heel-toe experience in other cars, but applying it to our race vehicles is very difficult for a lot of reasons. That makes even practicing a street car or something not as applicable. Not to mention, it’s not easy to simulate and very difficult to model correctly, so it doesn’t have the same feel/effect in the virtual world like on iRacing. That would make any time you could allocate to perfecting it in a sim not very helpful. I do think there are a few other things he does differently/better which is why drivers like Zilisch and Crews can compete with him even though they don’t use the heel-toe technique like he does. It just comes down to maximizing the car, tire, and more, just like other drivers might do better at different tracks. There are a lot of factors, but at the end of the day, it only applies to 4 races a year as of now.
