I'll have a crack at explaining it!
Heel and toeing is a driving technique used mostly in performance driving. Although myself using it more and more in day to day conditions. It involves operating the throttle and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal clutch use with the left foot. It is most commonly used prior to entering a turn, and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear.
The advantage of heel and toeing is that often through a corner you must down shift to get into the cars gear powerband, it also avoids the jerking motion of simply downshifting and not raising engine speed. It makes the motion smooth, and often enough smooth tends to be the quickest way around the track!
Hope this helped, Lucas.
