Sort of a clunky video but there are some pearl's within it.
Who wouldn't want to drive a GT3 at Barber?
I know I would!

Hurley IS a tough instructor...but really helpful.
His driving style is interesting-when we were at speed, he held the wheel with his fore finger & thumb in each hand. Hurley said "the difference between a true Pro driver and an am driver, is that he knows that "if the car spins,( he) will be able to catch it & recover", so there is no fear of speed.

An automotive journalist who doesn't know how to heel toe? Shouldn't have called himself one in the first place.

I have tried the technique he demonstrates but I cannot maintain the constant pressure on the brake when I lift my heel off to blip...
I have a theory that taller/longer legs are not best suited to this style and the "ball rolling" technique is better for that ... It works for me anyway but then my feet are shaped like a ducks!

Now that I'm going faster and braking later (or at least _trying_ to) in the Porsche, I'm having some issues in getting _enough_ force (or stroke) on the brake pedal when blipping the throttle. I was actually gonna try the Hurley method to see if that was any better. But... I think 35 years of muscle memory is going to be damn hard to erase!
