Left- or Right-Foot Braking — a Matter of Preference
Driving stars discuss braking techniques in this SAFEisFAST video.
If you’re a right-foot braker, I recommend practicing left-foot braking on the street for a few months before you take it to the track.
Obviously, an automatic transmission is ideal for learning subconscious competency in left-foot braking.
However, manual transmission cars can also be used in re-training your brain as long as it is used in corners that require only a minor speed adjustment and don’t require a downshift.
Gearbox Dependent
The gas pedal in Beck’s Lister Corvette #007 has been modified to allow blips for heel-and-toe braking when downshifting the synchronized gearbox. However, if #007 had a dog box, then left-foot braking could be used with the right foot dedicated to the gas pedal.
