It's not really bad for the clutch, however it does cause unnecessary wear-and-tear on the tranny, especially if you don't know how to do it very well. It also decreases your fuel economy as opposed to just clutching it or popping it in neutral and coasting to a stop. The only advantages to heel-toeing are that it sounds cool if you have a halfway decent exhaust, and that if for any reason you have to speed up to avoid someone or something, you are already in gear so it's easy to do so.

Why do racing driver use toe and heel breaking?

EDIT: Racers don't drift, because for just about any turn drifting is slower than taking a corner correctly. The real reason a road course racer uses heel toe downshifting is to keep the car balanced before a turn in and also save time by braking for a turn and shifting at the same time. The racer begins braking for a turn with the front part of their right foot, the toe. Then before the turn in the racer pushes in the clutch with their left foot, and while keeping the front part of their foot on the brake kicks the gas pedal to blip the throttle then shifts into gear and releases the clutch. Here is a site that explains many Drifting techniques:* http://www.driftsession.com/technique.htm Heel toe braking is one way to start a drift. When a skilled driver does this, with their heel on the brake and toe an the gas, the sudden deceleration of the rear tires causes them to lose traction, and when the gas is pressed at that moment, the drift is started. It's just one of several ways to begin a drift.
