I'm just curious how many fast, clean online racers use RFB (right foot braking) like they would IRL. Unless you drive a taxi, or drive like my mother-in-law i would assume its safe to say most of us learned to drive with one foot for gas and brake and the other foot for the clutch.
If you are the type of driver who regularly punts other drivers entering turns (whether its on purpose or accidentally) don't bother filling out the pole or responding. That kind of behavior doesn't fall under "clean racing".
I'm interested in how many RFB drivers can successfully tailgate in the game close enough to make a pass without accidentally bumping the car in front. After watching some replays, I can detect a lot of LFBers in my races just by watching the brake/gas indicators.
Now if you are a RFB'er, what strategy do you use to over come the inherent delay between gas and brake. Do you hold back and watch another driver's brake zones before approaching for a pass? Do you always take a different braking line to avoid problems with early brakers?
Lets keep this discussion about typical road racing. I'm not interested in hearing about the benefits of LFBing for rally racing or drifting.
I am also aware that there can be times where trail braking under full throttle can be advantageous. I'd be curious to know where on the GT5 tracks you use this...but I don't want the discussion focused on it.
