"Left foot is a must
when not using it for clutch!"
I modified my DFGT with a piece of sponge ball and/or a piece of 1/2" copper pipe insulation, along with a bungee cord to get a better brake feel out of the DFGT. The copper pipe insulation is a closed cell foam and pretty tough, and cheap as dirt.DFGT pedals too crappy for real-feel use. Gotta go with the left foot brake as unnatural as it feels.
I also do this.
What I find interesting is some people used to right-foot braking struggle to do this and brake too heavily.
Anyway I hope one day to learn the following technique where you brake with either feet depending on if you are going to heel-and-toe on downshifts or left-foot braking if no downshift needed like shown in video below:
Main problem I have is with my current setup, if I use clutch pedal it can jump up off the floor. Also after a few gear changes, the shifter comes off the table which is not ideal.
Depends on the car's transmission. If it's a car with paddles, left foot braking. H shift, I'll mostly use right foot braking, but occasionally left foot brake if no downshifts are needed.
Really? Now that's impressive! How did he managed it? There is literally no space for your feet to do right foot braking. He must have some kind of chinese woman feetRight foot braking can be just as fast if you're very deliberate, can transition between pedals in an instant, and are a fast driver to begin with. Rubens Barrichello did it in an F1 car when they were at their fastest, so it's not impossible or unheard of.
Left foot braking makes car control a lot easier, so I use it whenever possible. Right foot braking can be just as fast if you're very deliberate, can transition between pedals in an instant, and are a fast driver to begin with. Rubens Barrichello did it in an F1 car when they were at their fastest, so it's not impossible or unheard of.
Answer, 99/100 no if you're driving kart(small crossover always), yes if something elseLeft foot braking... kind of by default as I needed to stabilise the pedal base; however, it was natural to me as that's how I used to race go karts. The next question though, should you use brake and accelerator at the same time.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/36634684/Schumacher-vs-BarrichelloTrue, he did that. He was also clearly outperformed by Michael Schumacher, who used left foot braking. There's a telemetry comparison on how both tackled Silverstone's Copse corner (which I have trouble to find back), and Rubens was losing 0.3 seconds on that single corner. Basically, he could keep up on tight slow corners, with sometimes better exits, but he couldn't carry as much speed as Micheal in faster corners.
