One footer here. 1:30:25 Monza in a Ferrari
And speaking of race drivers and left foot braking - F1 driver Rubens
Barrichello, who has just replaced Eddie Irvine at Ferrari, is a right foot
braker. The Ferrari***pit, however, is set up in such a way that left
foot braking is required. He was saying that he was having some problems
with this during testing and that the team is going to re-design his***pit
so that he can go back to right foot braking.

One famous rally driver once said that if he wanted to slow a young upstart,
he would tell him to learn left foot braking, in the knowledge that the
season would be wrecked for the youngster.
He also went on to say that the following season after that would present
real problems once the younger driver had come to terms with the technique.
Two footer here BTW. Comes with racing karts for years.

Two feet. I've actually had to put up a plywood barrier between my feet
to keep them from ever getting on the wrong pedal, their not to smart.

Yes, I'm sure I'm losing time, but a lot less than I would throwing it in the
weeds trying to left-foot brake...<g>

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...
