Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Left foot braking...

On that note, a group of us once asked a very well seasoned Porsche driver what he thought the single most important upgrade was to a car, to make it faster.  He said, and correctly so, "a proper fitting seat."

Larry, those potential problems are easily solved by....not touching the brake pedal unless you need it.

The time saved by having to move your right foot over to the brake from the throttle is enormous.

Most drivers also do not use left foot braking due to the loss of physical stability. People will use their left foot on the dead pedal to physically position or stabilize their body under spirited driving. This is usually a result of a combination of a bad seat, inadequate harnesses and poor physical driver conditioning.

Hello Fellippe,

re: Left Foot Braking:

I never liked LF braking – to easy to apply the brakes slightly and either wear the pads quickly or cause lots of heat build-up to boil the Brake Fluid & damage things....   and it’s especially bad on the street where the driver behind never really knows f you’re braking or resting your foot on the brake....

 

Aren’t brake lights becoming common in race cars?

 

Merry Christmas,

LarryT

You know, all the complaining about paddle shifts got me thinking that at the very least the owners should learn how to left foot brake...

Anyone on here comfortable with it?
