But I agree, if you don't know how already, it's probably not a good idea to be doing so on the track at speed.
That is terrible advice IMO unless the person doing it is very advanced at heel toe. Mid turn is not a safe place to rough up a downshift. FWIW I learned heel toe on Road Atlanta in a Cayman S. I practiced some on the street first but it never felt right to me on the street going slow, and the throttle response required for heel toe just isn't there at low revs.
