Left foot braking?
Discussion
I would like to ask about left foot braking. I have used this from time to time both on track and on road with varying success and would like to ask for other opinions on its use and advantages.
The main reason I use it is to modulate vehicle when in the mid to exit of the corner and I find that this works quite well in my g/f's Leon FR when makig progress as it reduces understeer and seems to increase grip however this may just be a by product of less understeer appearing to give more grip. I find that this is easier than using the throttle to modulate the vehicle as it works faster and also reduces the risk of lift off oversteer if done gently and also allows revs to be kept u with less lag when getting back on the gas.
That is my experience of this, can I ask if anyone has similar thoughts, especially with its use with RWD vehicles?
I've also heard it said it can reduce wheel spin on the unloaded wheel. It is mentioned in this video for instance.
