Autocross braking

[D_Eclipse9916]

This is a heavily contested topic.

I think it can be faster, but there are plenty of very fast people who avoid it and have won championships too.

Using your right foot for everything definitely makes you much more aware of whether you are over-braking.

I might try it in the test and tune this year. My drive to and from work is pretty epic for a 15 minute drive, and I left-foot-brake quite a bit on it, but obviously there is a lot more time to think about a lot less intense braking there. I'm not really sure if it is going to help much at this point, especially in a dead-stock Corolla.

Certainly worth a try! :dunno:

You will learn more sensitivity driving around town with your left foot braking then in an autox/road racing. Simply because newer road racing/autox people tend to "stand" on the pedal. With around town, you have varying levels of pressure you use on the pedal = more range of motion = more sensitivity in your left foot for braking.
