I think heel and toe is very much needed to have full stability while braking up to a corner. Depending on your brake setup it might be ok to release the clutch gently when going down through the gears but only if the rear brakes aren’t breaking enough. If brake balance is optimal the rear will be very close to looking up and if you release the clutch at this point you might just as well pull the handbrake.

Also I wouldn’t recommend changing down more than one gear at a time. You risk over revving you engine as you have no feeling of how many revs you will get in 2nd coming straight from 5th.

I started doing heel and toe on the streets every time I could. After a while this is perfectly natural to you Smile

Sarcasme is just one of the things I offer Wink
