OKAY: Right Foot Braking in GPL

I have been doing some right foot braking the last couple of days to prepare for this season. To my amazement, I turned in my fastest ever lap of Watkins Glen - 1:06.61 and it was during a race, so I wasn't even speed shifting. Therefore, in conclusion, I conclude with fairly conclusive evidence that right foot braking is pretty okay. Okay? -- Rob Swindells "Add life to your days, not days to your life."

Yes--though I'm no speed racer, I use it to try and minimize drastic pitch changes. At least that's my theory. -DK

Sure! And all those people have been telling us right foot brakers that we could never go as fast as they do because of it. You show them for us, Rob!!

Right foot braking doesn't slow you down 3 seconds. Hotshoes does 1:03's - 1:04's depending on current car. Your time is good, but you can't make any comparison with left or right foot braking here because of that 3 seconds...I don't mean to put you down in any way, I'm just realistic. If you have been doing left foot braking earlier and now test right foot braking, the reason that you made new PB could be just because you're not so good(precise) with your left foot. Tell me when you break into 1:03's and I consider rightfootbraking... :)

Tell me when you break into 1:03's and i'll consider rightfootbraking... :) Exactly. Rik Anthrax - - "trust the government?? what are you, some kind of moron?"

<<Tell me when you break into 1:03's and i'll consider rightfootbraking... :)>> I don't think it's about breaking 1:03, but which technique makes the driver faster, no matter what his time is. He may or may not ever get to 1:03, but if he is faster with the right foot, it's his best chance. I for one feel too much emphasis is placed on which foot and not enough on the balance and setup of the car itself. I have had the sim less than 7 weeks and have a pb of 1:29:82 at Monza in a Ferrari. And yes, I right foot brake. I am defiantely faster with the right foot. Better feel and all that. I choose to have a soft front suspension that allows me to throttle steer. This is what I am fastest and most comfortable with, which is what the bottomline is anyway. Just my humble opionion. Mike
