I've raced some Karts where I had to use both feet and I got used to it
pretty quick. There are places I do 2 foot at Nurburgring. 2 footed stock
car setups are a nightmare for me unless I shift some weight around. Boby
Labonte is a 1 footer I've heard. I can do 1:04's at Watkins Glen in the
Eagle (GPL) 1 footed so it cant be all that terrible for your driving.. but
maybe it is the difference? ;)

I actually tried that on a dare once.  It's hard :)

    Or better yet. Just try using your left foot for both. I tore
up the tendons in my right leg playing tennis and had to do that
for 8 weeks. Found it was worse driving a real car though. :-)

One most of the time.  Sometimes I get my extra wooden legs out of the
closet and I use 3 or 4 <G>

Yes, but you guys are Finnish.  That by itself has to be worth -40 points
in GPLRank. ;-)  Wow, right-foot brake and H-shifting!  Joosa has world
records too, if I remember correctly...

"Stuck" on -52?  I'd love to be "stuck" there. ;-)

I only use one pedal - the one on the right.  What's the other one for?

One foot ...... but then I only use one pedal.
I only race in CMR's 2 and 3 (for now) - and don't bother with the brakes,
as speeds reached aren't that high.
I'm sure this must affect my lap times, but I can still beat expert AI's on
all CMR2 arcade circuits.
The trouble is, I can't tell how heavily I'm braking - as there are no FF
pedals I know of, so it's a bit off-putting.
Still, it's made me curious enough to try with some braking.

You can do it, Eldred.  Just take the Lotus out for some laps at all
tracks. :-)

I've already done that.  All my PBs (except Mexico, I think) are in the Lotus.
That was what got me from +8 or so to -2..  So, I'm *already* using the fastest
car...
