... on one end I see what you mean, on another I'm a tad confsued...I don't think you would need too much of a reason to do heel-toe even though in one sense it's already done as you had stated, but that would be the confusing part, if I let of the gas and downshift...he could I somehow still be pressing the gas during that downshift if I'm not?...sorry if that's not what you meant but... well...it depends on a lot of things...
reason why you would by parts such as a double or tripple plate clutch and racing flywheel are escientally to reduce the RPM loss when you upshift or downshift or so I figure, I'm not saying it's a replacement for that technique, even though that's what it sounds like (talk about being hypritical...or maybe just ironic...)...I can't see how it would work really on GT3 if you have no actual clutch to use...you gota consider praticality too I guess...
that's also a bit of irony, one of the earlier playstion racing games such as Rally Cross and CART world serries had the accel/brake/clutch but unless you had a steering wheel or was obcessed...it woould not be too helpfull...they took it out since they had to blanace gameplay/realism (kina like with Splinter cell, those goggles he wear that provide infra-red and night visison are said to be not possible, for gameplay purposes they had it in there because they figured it would not work so well to have the player stich and go thru the animation and such...you could bring in Metal gear solid but that was a different story...)... maybe it's my ignorance, I may check it out myself to see just what you mean exalcty, that's just how I'd figure so far. Don't get at me if I got anything wrong...k?...
As for techniques, for drift, I use whatever can get me thru a turn the fastest way I can figure, four-wheel, braking, dynamic/intertia, feint, etc... if it's a sharp corner...feint to braking or powerover, or maybe a interita drift...it depends on the turn and car...
For grip, I can't really recall much since grip driving is as natural as walking, call that igonrance in some form but maybe just the left-foot braking which is usefull in any car on any drivetrain depening on the turn and situation. Take Tokyo R 246, the fast downhill to uphill left/right just before the dual 90 degree turns. I can take that turn at full speed or stay on the ideal line using left foot braking with a stock Z06 corvette, if I tried all the way, I would not quite make it or so I figure.
Can't figure what else to say, guess that's it, till later.
