It involves operating the throttle and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal activation of the clutch with the left foot. It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously, and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear.
