Chris Wilson Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have always driven automatics with left foot braking, it probably goes back to kart racing none gearbox karts as a kid where the brake is on the left. Manuals are always driven conventionally by me, I am not a Scandinavian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Though if you use the left foot braking method like in the video, would you not be over working\heating the master brake cylinder? I know in karting you have to very careful you are not resting left foot or using both pedals at the same time. Unless you like to have hot brake fluid all over you!

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 i used to rebuild go-karts for buckmore as part of my college course (cheap labour i suppose) but they used to hate us left foot braking on there karts lol good fun though.

Chris Wilson Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 If he was actually going fast enough to be in with the slightest chance of "losing traction" it may have had some merit, but as he was poodling along on an economy run I don't see the point. As people have said, there'll be a rash of accidents as people practice around the roundabouts of MK, or other equally unsuitable places. It's good for business those, lots of burnt out pads, boiled brake fluid and *uggered discs Body shops will get a look in,too, no doubt. Anyway, the thing's front wheel drive, you can push and prod what you want, it'll always be all wrong and best avoided in the first place, when buying a car you intend to drive to the limits of "traction" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yeah I tried left foot braking once, best emergency stop I've ever did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Left foot braking is awesome - especially when it's called "brake boosting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
