Who can do it?

I've got heel and toe cracked but not so sure about attempting left foot braking or even how usefull it would be to me anyway

 

I must admit in a front wheel drive car tis a riot ..lol

Locking the backs up in a rally styleee..

But i dont do it often.

 

Practice on a quiet road first WITH YOUR SEATBELT ON - you will hit the stoppers a LOT harder than you think first time!!

 

explain why you would want to left foot brake then?

 

From my understanding it allows weight shift without lifting the throttle. Which would be usefull for track days if I can master it.

I know I'll never be a driving God but would like to improve my driving skills and I like to learn new things

 

Can potentially be used mid-corner to alter the weight, but with all due respect Steve, even racing drivers don't left foot brake in FWD cars on track!

For the road, I would say it's completely pointless. It's a servo'd road car!

 

So pretty pointless sussing then.

Guess I'll concentrate on staying on the grey bit between to the two grassy bits

 

I've never seen it do this?

 

pointless in todays world of cars,was an art perfected in the late 70's and early 80's in rallying.
no use what so ever if you have not got a dogbox anyway.

 

Was used also in the mid 80s on the Quattro too for example due to the huge turbolag. This was before they introduced the twin-wastegate system (first on the Pikes-peak version).

 

perfected i said,not used.

 

i can left foot brake NO problems, bit of an expert in it actually...

...only cos my fucking impreza wont tick over properly , i have to rev and brake at the same time

 

I tried this a few yares ago in my mk3 escort,did it ther once,never again.i nearly put my head thru the windscreen and nearly had the car on the roof I have the touch of a elephant

 

learnt to do it cos every time i stopped the car would stall

 

tried it once, never tried it again lol since i almost did an emergency stop.

Can't be brilliant for your brakes though can it or your clutch?

 

Tried it in my van that i had a couple of years ago....nearly went through the windscreen

 

I can do it now, first time trying it tho i fucking stalled the car because someone pulled out in front of me and i couldnt get on the clutch quick enough haha..takes some getting used to tho.

I thought it was best to LFB in a FWD car?

 

Rally drivers still use it though don't they, i'm pretty sure i've seen it done when you see the in car views of the drivers feet or am I mistaken?

 

not on the road sections they dont.

 

Well, you didn't say anything about gravel in your post so I assumed you meant it was pointless on any surface!
