Ayrton Senna’s heal-toe technique while wearing old man loafers and white socks
Hm, never seen a car speedo maxed out in quite such a dramatic fashion. 2:14

*Heel.
This is actually how I heel toe in every car. I have no fucking idea how people can do the ninja kick shit like you see in some vids; I just move my fat foot off the brake and boop the throttle like in the op. It honestly feels dangerous doing it when you’re headed toward a concrete barrior going 100 but I’m pretty confident doing it
God Senna was amazing and this was the video that made the nsx reputation, I mean how often does Honda make a Ferrari killer
I never understood the awe of this particular technique.. so its Senna, so what?
I have used this technique since I start driving at 17, flip flops, bare feet, whatever..
It is neither difficult or sophisticated… get over yourselves!
after watching so many roadcars crash at the nerbergring on youtube, I think its more dangerous and perhaps harder to drive an unpredictable road car super fast then it is to drive a race car fast.
What’s amazing to me is how much the camera and his body is bouncing around and yet where his feet contact the pedals is so stable.
Now do it barefoot with swiss cheese peddles.
I have always loved the Honda NSX. If I had the money.
Well, now I know why [this NSX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5PPNZiu52w&t=56s) is named 5ENNA.
What a sexy car. My only gripe is are the headlights on the 2003 model.
RIP 130R
Wringing the absolute shit out of that car. Love the flat-footed redline upshifts while he jiggles around in the drivers seat. And with no helmet, harness etc. Makes me want a nimble sports car again.
Old man loafers? Those are literally called driving shoes.
Is he tapping on the gas in order to dump gas into the carb by working the accelerator pump? I’m not sure a car like this even has a carb, or what this would do to a fuel injection system.
Can any racing buffs tell me why he taps the accelerater while going around the corner?
Also, watch the documentary ‘Senna’ if you haven’t. I’m not an F1 fan, but I became one after watching it.
Driving in style for sure
Those look like Schmidt’s driving mocassins.
That his feet are pretty calm even when dabbing the accelerator whilst operating the brake, arms and hands are doing rapid adjustments.
Why is this called heel-toe? I didn’t see him use his heel.
Glad my car does this automatically.
