I've seen a lot of pedal questions in this group (including my own).
On the basis of the advice I was given I went and bought the CH Pro
Pedals. Here's my opinion.
They look good and seem reasonably sturdy. The pedals are too far
apart to use one foot (acc/brake) - thus it's left foot braking.
There is a switch which toggles the pedals between car and flight
mode.
They are quite sensitive - being picky I'd like more resistance
to my foot movements. But they feel smooth and responsive.
Used with my flgt yoke they have transformed my car (and flight) sims.
There's even specific instructions for setting them up on ICR and F1GP
(plus others).
The problems I've had are more on the personal skill level - left foot
braking requires a bit of getting used to. What I've noticed so far is
that my cars (which were quite stable using only a joystick and keyboard)
are now very twitchy especially the rear end. Once I've developed a
smoother action I think this will go.
So I must admit to being very pleased - they have transformed ICR (which
I use most) and F1GP. ICR in particular is a real buzz.
I'm not sure if the T1 and T2 systems are better, but if you're
thinking of getting CH pedals I'd go for them. I got mine
from Simply Computers for 65 pounds sterling.
cheers

I found the same thing, but I think it was because I had this temptation to
jam on the throttle. My lap times went up significantly after I learned to
gently squeeze the throttle down.
