I do heel toe sometimes you go into a tight turn where you need that first gear and second is just too tall.

If you are running on stock pedals you should get some aftermarket ones where the gas pedal is longer. This helps alot.

For the long sweepers you kinda want to brake as late as possible and then tap the brakes. I find that sometimes I have my foot on the gas and another on the brake trying to balance out those big curves since driving with the throttle is not enough. (left foot braking).
