When playing GTL, do people brake with the left foot or the right foot?

I started off by braking with the right foot only, as I would with a road car. But lately started using the left foot, karting-style. It gives a smoother drive, me thinks.

Any opinions?

Previously left foot braking, now both depending on the situation, but then I have a clutch pedal to think about now.

Left for me as I've got no clutch..
Allows be to keep the throttle open a tiny bit whilst braking aswell... if needed in some cars

I just hit the big 3k

I use both feet on the brake to give more pressure so i can stop quicker.

In seriousness though:

Brakes?

I use other people not my brakes to slow me...

You need to change your brake fluid or maybe get some bigger discs.

I used to use the left foot for years, ever since I first got my wheel (perhaps because I used to race karts?). However I decided recently to start using the right foot, since that is what I will have to (mostly) use when I race the real Elan 26R, so I thought I should get into the habit.

If I use the right I tend to stamp the brake too hard when moving over, thus causing pedals to move

I use the right foot like a proper grown up would have done back in the 60's and 70's when these cars were around

plus I always cock it up when I try left foot
