Another pointer is that its much easier when braking hard, the brake pedal is much more in line with throttle. I do it on the road but its only when pressing on or on track that it becomes easy. I also find it much easier on track as I'm concentrating on other thing so I do it automatically, if I think about it I tend to mess it up.

Agree with above. I often mess it up on road as I'm rarely breaking hard enough but I'm getting the hang of it on track. I've forced myself to learn since I nearly lost it at Croft when the rear wheels locked up while changing down under breaking.

I can't do H&T, but have a workaround : If its wet and I'm trailbraking into a corner, the downshift can often be enough to step the back out, so I come off the brakes slightly as the clutch is coming up. I've also had the back end go at the end of the big straight in Bedford in the dry, so its not just a wet-weather problem.

 

I find I bang my knee if I try to rotate my leg to get onto the throttle to blip, so I'm blaming my lack of skill on my gangly legs

Chris Harris* Cayman GT4 review has a good pedal shot of him "heel and toeing" using the tilt your foot abit method.
