left foot braking
guys, i wonder is it only me who use left foot braking on DCT,
because i seriously find it difficult to use my left foot to brake with that TINY LITTLE padal. so i am looking to change it to the Hamann style padal, so it will be bigger. does any one know any other brand with Middle Drill able Brake padal? |

Not sure this will work, but the concept is excellent. Don't think the kit is available any more, but try looking HERE. |

Right... Look at Walter Röhrl. It takes some getting used to it at first but then you learn not to mash the brake as you do the clutch.

I was taught that the left foot is supposed to be on the dead pedal to support your wieght as the inertia thrusts your body forward, especially under hard braking? This way you are not bracing your self with your arms and inadvertanly affecting your steering input.

They started using left foot braking on those cars so the throttle and brake could be applied at the same time to keep boost pressure up. And when he's hitting the clutch/brake at the same time, that's just heel-toe, not too difficult. It allows you brake, blip the throttle, and downshift all in one smooth motion so the car doesn't get upset under downshifting.

I used to left foot brake to smooth transitions from accel to decel but now I'm too lazy so I just heel toe.
