To clarify something on this point.. If you are downshifting through multiple gears and heel-toe shifting for each one, you are likely slightly reducing your brake pressure. The easiest way to be faster, or slower, during a lap is through your braking. If you know your corner speeds, you will do more or less the same speed if you brake early or on time, you'll just roll off the pressure if you brake early. Everywhere else that's full throttle is just full throttle, a monkey could do it more or less.
So if you are doing a 5-3, 4-2, etc shift, there really is no reason to blip the throttle until you are ready to get on the gas. No reason to shift either until the very end of their braking zone.
So I really just wanted to point out that HT shifting through multiple gears is useless I guess. (edit: useless for those in between gears)
