Eldred, ya got 2 weeks til Monaco try the left foot thing seriously ASAP. Its much easier to control the car, as gettin off the gas and then the brake takes time. Hittin the brake as u release the gas makes things much smoother. It will take u maybe 100 laps at any track to get used to it i'd bet. When I first got my wheel 3 months ago, i immediately went to left footin. I'd been using a stick, and very rarely released the throttle 100% with that setup due to a lazy finger. I jus couldn't do it with 1 foot. And at that time i'd never driven with the left foot ever. took me less than a week. Md EldredP wrote:
