I did exactly the same thing in a 1982 Renault R5 "LeCar" FOUR-DOOR! I would go out on Valley Forge mountain, and just practice for hours on end. I too, learned how to heel-toe in a Renault. And it wasn't a bad autocrosser.
Now who in the Club has an R5 Turbo 1 with the factory Rally kit installed. That very car is on my short list of cars to one day own.
Quote:The car I learned to drive in was a Renault LeCar. I remember reading Paul Frere's Sports Car and Competition Driving when I was 16, then going out and teaching myself to heel-toe downshift by driving the same corner about 50 times one Saturday.
Of course in a LeCar, it didn't matter what gear you were in, but that's besides the point.
