just to add to the conversation , it is my opinion that your brake pressure profiles (the way you apply and then release the brakes ) also need some work. again , just looking to add some thought

And now we have an answer



Had a chance to have a pro, Simon Kirkby, drive my car. Clearly I'm taking too long to release the clutch after "blipping". Here's what a proper heel-toe looks like in data . . . (it's the spike in the beginning of the graph)

A full two-thirds to three-quarters distance through the brake (pressure) zone...

Mind you, distance is in meters, and speed in km/h

Yep, that looks good.

Double-click on your vertical axis numbers and it will auto-scale the chart.
