Well, since it IS the track section and I don't recall discussing this here before, lets talk about
Left
Foot
Braking.
I was browsing on YouTube and saw the following informational video about left foot braking ....
What is left foot braking?
Quote:
Left-foot braking is the technique of using the left foot to operate the brake pedal in an automobile, leaving the right foot dedicated to the throttle pedal.[1] It contrasts with the normal practice of the left foot operating the clutch pedal, and the right foot operating the brake and accelerator pedals.
At its most basic purpose, left-foot braking can be used to decrease the time spent between the right foot moving between the brake and throttle pedals, and can also be used to control load transfer. (from WIKI)

Pretty interesting.. Now here's a video of left foot braking using Lotus Elise
(If you want, you may FF to 1:00 minute mark because that's when they do the testing)
Btw, watch toward the end of that /\ video where they go from left foot braking to heel and toe to left foot brake AGAIN then accelerate!
It seems like it's pretty popular in WRC as well
Now, can this be used during Autoxing to shave off time? Here's a discussion
Left foot braking in autocross? - Rennlist Discussion Forums
So, to all track junkies, do you left foot brake in your RWD? Did you notice a faster lap time with left foot braking as oppose to right foot braking?
