Heel-toe came about because cars originally had the throttle and brake pedals reversed. That is, the throttle was on the left and the brake was on the right. So when racing, you could externally rotate your right leg and apply the toes to the brake while blipping the throttle with the heel of your foot. But that's 1920's or 1930's era cars, IIRC.
Somewhere along the way the throttle pedal moved to the right and the brake pedal sat on the left. It's still called heel-and-toe, but you have to contort your leg much more to make it work smoothly.
