    I left foot brake in street cars and on the race sim. Still working my way up to doing it consistently in the Radical SR3 RSX on track.

    Ever wonder why Rubens was perenially slower than Michael? LFB is a legitimately superior technique. I’ve come to admit it after studying data traces of my coach in my car. Like most truly fast drivers, his background is in karting since age 12, where you have to LFB.

    I converted to left foot for the road a few years ago. It is safer for driving in a spirited way on the road. You can cover the brake with your foot lending instantaneous application of the brake when needed and no risk of catching your shoe moving from one pedal to the other. On track I may be a tenth quicker braking with the right if using a three point belt since you can use the left foot to brace yourself but even then I think there is now no difference. I feel more comfortable braking with the left these days.

    I did the same. Now I can break comfortably with either foot.
