As in my car, I've been using my right foot to accelerate and brake.
A friend told me that race car drivers typically use both feet - one
for braking and one for acceleration.
Is this true?
How do you all use your pedals? One foot or two?

I use two for the sake of not wearing my feet out switching all the time
throughout a race.

I'm a right-foot-only driver when sim racing. I've been told that it might
be costing me some time at some tracks under some circumstances, but I live
in fear of screwing up my footwork in the event that my next car will be a
manual-transmission'd vehicle and my coordination in a position where a
Shift-R can't get me a new car will be all messed up and I wind up in real
world trouble. It probably won't ever happen, but why chance it?

Do what you please, but you're over-thinking the street car thing a tad
much. Do what you need to do to go fast in the sim and it will not hurt your
street driving instincts one bit IMHO.
I switched over to left-foot braking a couple years ago. It probably dropped
my GPLRank by about 10 seconds. Not a lot, granted - but faster.

One foot. I've been trying to make the transition to left foot braking
lately, but am still very clumsy at it. I've been assured that with some
practice, there are a lot of spots where I can shave some time off through
corners with left foot braking. Old habits die hard, though, and I'm still
a couple seconds per track faster in GPL with right foot braking.

At some courses, using fixed setups, you HAVE to. Some of the setups are
terribly loose on entry, and if you don't pre-load the brakes and let the
slight front brake bias help you, you are gonna spin out.
If I remember correctly, the Rock was a very prime example of this.
Richmond is also easier to handle with the brakes just slightly pre-loaded
before letting up.
