I use left-foot braking on ovals (and at times in LFS... those FWD need some
help from time to time..)  and I use right-foot braking on road-courses.
(got to heel 'n toe :-)

In F1-2002 etc. I use two feets att the time as theres no point in doing
anything else 'cause  the cars got so damn short power-band.

The problem is Don gets confused and tries to use gas with left foot and
brake with right foot.... it's a site to see!    ;)

You save a significant amount of money by going back to two legs.
First, you don't have to pay for the upgrade to the footpedals *with*
clutch. Second, you don't have to pay your tailor for those custom
trousers. Third, you might not have to pay women to date you. (Maybe
they pay you, I'm only assuming that most women would run away
screaming if they saw a three legged man -- and I am *not* speaking
of the short, middle leg here.)

YMMV,

Right-foot brake here, baby!  (Am I the only one???)

The fastest guys are pretty much all left-foot brakers.  But I'm -20 in GPL
and that's not horrible. (Except to the aliens I guess)

Speaking of Mike..

How are those drop down pedals of that new ECCI?

Do you notice a big difference ?

I've always used 1 but after reading this thread may try 2.  I'm heavy
into MB World Racing and will always have at least one F1 game on the go.

Two feet makes sense; it does save time and at racing speeds (even in a
MB S430 :) ), half-seconds count.

I also right foot brake and I'm -67.xx in GPLrank, fastest RFB guy I
know is Joosa Riekkinen at -86.454 (in top10 of GPLrank). Both of us
also use H-shifter for shifting. Your right that most fast guys left
foot brake but IMO right foot braking is not at all slower then left
foot braking, it just requires a different driving style. I for example
use very little trailbraking, quite the opposite of how I drove when I
left foot braked.

I was stuck at -52 rank when I switched to right foot braking and after
a month or so I was faster then I ever was with LFB. I still use LFB on
some games (modern F1-sims, Nascar on ovals, GTR2002).
