Today I'm examining how to left foot brake. Many drivers in the paddock talk about left foot braking as it can help save lap time multiple times over a lap.
Here I examine left foot braking, why it can be faster and how to become an expert at this technique.
This whiteboard tutorial will cover:
- What is left foot braking?
- When should we left foot brake?
- Why is left foot braking faster?
- The quickest way to learn left foot braking
The definition of left foot braking is very simple; using your left foot to brake.
It’s become a much more accessible technique over the last decade as more and more road, track and race cars have paddle shift gearbox systems, meaning there’s no need to use the clutch when on the track, thus freeing up your left foot to focus solely on braking.
